He learns to harness it to help the birds out, but in the beginning he has a problem making connections." Terence (Sean Penn)īig bird Terence is a bit of stunt casting - almost as a gag, Penn was recruited to play the role even after the filmmakers told him he had no speaking lines, Reilly says. "He seems like the big lovable jock but he suffers from intermittent explosive disorder," Reilly says. Like his best pal Chuck, Bomb is also a misfit because of his anger issues - and because he's basically a walking, talking IED. He’s like that little annoying friend you might have had in high school." Bomb (Danny McBride) He’s constantly needling Red and other birds for their attention.

The challenge for filmmakers: Take the little icons from the game and turn them into "fully realized comedic personalities," says Fergal Reilly, one of the directors of Angry Birds alongside Clay Kaytis. The Angry Birds Movie (in theaters Friday), a big-screen animated take on the popular video-game app, sees a peaceful island of flightless birds have to go to slingshot war when a band of green pigs steal their eggs.
