FILM: The Angry Birds Movie 2 (dir: Thorup van Orman, 2019)

"DUCK!"

The sequel to the surprisingly entertaining 2015 movie sticks to the formula and provides more silly, colourful fun.   A lot of mileage is derived from the typical set-up of the birds and their pig enemies having to work together, uniting against attacks from an Ice Island led by a deliriously deranged eagle.  There is a nicely-developed sub-plot involving the hatchlings, and hero Red has an effective arc, but mostly this film is all about the quick-fire barrage of visual, verbal and physical gags that mostly play well.
