This is especially true with the quite tasteless, awkwardly placed and too overlong urination gag, that was also really quite out of place.

It does occasionally feel rushed too, and while the film entertains hugely a vast majority of the time there are a couple of gags that misfire. Getting the flaws out of the way, the story in 'The Angry Birds Movie' is somewhat flimsy and has a tendency to be thin on the ground with a couple of unnecessary parts and parts that don't really go anywhere. The other was 'Ratchet & Clank', which is not as bad as critics made out (personal opinion of course) and could have been much worse considering video game adaptations' dubious track record, but also had too many flaws to be considered a good film. From the two animated films seen recently at the cinema, 'The Angry Birds Movie' is the superior film of the two. 'Zootropolis' aka 'Zootopia' in some places), but also far worse on both counts. There are better animated films out there and there were better released this year (i.e. 'The Angry Birds Movie' is not perfect, but this reviewer was really surprised at how much she enjoyed it. Having never played the app/game, it was going to be interesting to see whether 'The Angry Birds Movie' was going to make something interesting out of it and how it was going to be succeed.
