The Angry Birds films

Angry Birds turned a simple physics puzzle, fling wingless birds at fortresses of thieving pigs, into one of the defining mobile games of its generation. Rovio's slingshot loop was endlessly tweakable, and the sequels ran it through new gimmicks: zero-gravity arcs in Space, licensed crossovers in Star Wars, and a villain's-eye spin in Bad Piggies.

The flock's blank-eyed fury and wordless slapstick translated naturally to the screen, and the animated film series gave the birds and pigs the backstory the games never bothered with. It is a rare case of a mobile brand earning a genuine theatrical franchise rather than a quick licensed cash-in.

The The Angry Birds films franchise spans 7 games, 3 films in the CrossBinge catalog.
