18 Crucial Questions For 2016's Most Anticipated Movies

13. Will The Angry Birds Movie Be Another Lego Movie?

The Question: Will this peculiar animated movie adaptation of the absurdly popular video game franchise manage to strike the same subversive tone as 2014's surprise smash hit The Lego Movie, or is it destined to be a shallow cash-grab eager to milk the gravy train for all it's worth? The Likely Answer: The footage released to date along with the talent attached does suggest that The Angry Birds Movie will be more self-aware than you might reasonably expect, appreciating how absurd its own existence is while providing more subversive gags for the adults. It probably won't reach The Lego Movie's standard of excellence, but don't be surprised if it ends up on more than a few lists of 2016's most pleasantly surprising films.
