The Angry Birds Stella Movie (interquel)

This article intends to describe speculations and expectations (based on prior canonical works) for a film that does not exist, but is still possible, and is meant to be a stub.

This article briefly describes a possible Angry Birds animated movie spin-off based on the Angry Birds Stella characters, set between the events of the 2016 film The Angry Birds Movie and the 2019 sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2. It also highlights potential expectations for such a film based on prior canonical works.

Premise
Stella and her friends travel to a new island called Golden Island during the Birds' war with the Pigs. There, they discover strange creatures and a new tribe of Pigs who have never heard of the war. Things get complicated, however, when Gale, one of Stella's friends, inexplicably betrays the others to become the Pigs' ruler and even falls in love with one of them.

Background and expectations
While it is currently impossible to precisely guess whether or when a third main Angry Birds film could really be produced, the time gap between the prior two films allows for the possibility of spin-offs and/or interquels that expand upon the films' timeline and world. The Angry Birds Stella characters made minor appearances in both films, and they should be given an opportunity to have their own spin-off movie as a way of showing that they are still considered part of the Angry Birds franchise, despite their shrinking roles.

In terms of story, the film could begin and end the same way as the two-season original web series and take significant liberty on what happens in between. As the series ended with Gale turning to normal, which remains true for her by the events of The Angry Birds Movie 2, the spin-off film would also be a standalone title with no possibility of sequels, serving solely as an interquel. The film could not have taken place before The Angry Birds Movie, as Birds would have never known about Pigs, other islands, or the outside world for that matter by then.

As this spin-off film is set in the world of the Angry Birds films, it would share their animated visual style, depicting the characters in fully limbed form. While Kate McKinnon could reprise her role as Stella, it would not make sense to have Charli XCX reprise her role as Willow because she's mainly a singer.
