Draft:List of Angry Birds characters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Angry Birds is a video game series and media franchise by Rovio Entertainment. It began in 2009 with the video game Angry Birds for mobile devices, which saw a flock of birds rescuing their eggs from green pigs. More members of each faction were introduced in each of its successors, such as Angry Birds Seasons (2010), Angry Birds Space (2012), and Angry Birds 2. Initially depicted without limbs, the characters were redesigned to be anthropomorphic in the games' film adaptations, beginning with The Angry Birds Movie in 2016.

Red

Red is a cardinalis[1][2] described as "the angriest of the birds." Characterized by a notoriously short temper, he is overprotective of the eggs, which he views as the only hope for his species' survival. His wrath is invoked by anything he deems a threat to his eggs, particularly the pigs who seek to eat them. Despite his irascibility, he also works as the de facto leader of the birds, tending to them like a parental figure.[1][3][4]

Red was created during the development of Angry Birds (2009). As with most characters in the game, he was designed as a round, limbless bird. Early concept artwork by designer Jaakko Iisalo [fi] depicted a crude design of Red, then called "George". Red was created with no unique abilities, risking his exclusion from the game at one point.[1] After the release of Angry Birds, Red had no official name, being informally named "the red bird" in most sources.[5] The name "Red" was used for the character's in-game profile in Angry Birds Trilogy (2012),[3] and has remained his name since then. As the Angry Birds brand grew, Red became the mascot of the franchise due to his distinct design and fiery temper.[1]

Red is the first character introduced to the player in the 2009 game, in which he serves the role of being the most standard playable bird by having no unique abilities.[5][6] In 2013, a post-launch update introduced the "Red's Mighty Feathers" levels, which are focused on Red and introduces an ability that allows him to lock onto and target enemy pigs.[7] Red would gain another unique ability in Angry Birds 2 (2015), in which he can push over structures rightwards with red sound waves.[8]

Outside of the video games, Red appears as the protagonist of The Angry Birds Movie (2016), its 2019 sequel, and its upcoming 2027 sequel.[9] In all three of the films, he is voiced by Jason Sudeikis.[10][11][12]

The Blues

[edit]

Jake, Jay, and Jim—collectively The Blues—are small eastern bluebirds.[13] They are triplets, having hatched from the same egg, and have been described as energetic.[3][4] The Blues are pranksters;[14] they enjoy pulling pranks but dislike being scolded.[3] The Blues are co-operative, attacking as a single unit before splitting apart for three separate targets.[4][5][15]

Chuck

[edit]

Chuck is a yellow Atlantic canary.[13] He is known for his supernaturally fast speed, which includes being able to freeze time,[4] and is described as competitive and hyperactive. He craves respect from the other birds and considers himself to be the strongest member of the flock;[3] his anger stems from feeling underappreciated.[14] In the Angry Birds video games, Chuck's special ability involves a burst of speed, and he is skilled at breaking wood rather than other materials.[5]

In the Angry Birds film series, Chuck is voiced by Josh Gad.[12][16] Gad initially declined the role, not wanting to play a character similar to his previous voice role, Olaf in the 2013 Disney film Frozen, but was convinced after being given a visual pitch that "blew [his] socks off".[17] In an interview with C. Molly Smith of Entertainment Weekly, Gad stated, "Chuck is the complete opposite of Olaf in terms of the way he sees life."[18] In another interview with Dave Trumbore from Collider, Gad described Chuck as "a speed demon, he thinks faster than he can speak, he moves faster than he can think, and he's somebody who is literally operating in streams of consciousness."[19]

Chuck has been interpreted as being homosexual, supported by a scene from The Angry Birds Movie in which he fantasises about Mighty Eagle's buttocks, as well as an episode of the television series Angry Birds Toons in which he blushes at the notion of being forced to mate with Red. This led to backlash when the franchise's social media account implied that Chuck is only a straight ally.[20] This was later retconned when the Angry Birds social media account replied that he is "obviously" not straight.[21]

Bomb is a black common loon.[13] Frequently described as "volatile",[6][16] he suffers from intermittent explosive disorder; though more extreme he is able to explode,[8] albeit uncontrollably.[22] He is a close friend of Red.[4] In the films, he is voiced by Danny McBride.[16]
