So basically the story is an envoy of pig people land on bird island, and our protagonist immediately goes on a paranoid bigoted tirade against the newcomers... which turns out to be justified? What the fuck guys? Is this the message we want to be giving kids, 'people different from us are sinister and evil and will destroy our way of life... oh and they also want to eat our children'. That's got to be the QAnon stamp of approval right there.
Though the film is dubious throughout, it is the last third of the movie is when it becomes utter trash where all plot and logic is thrown out the window so we can smash birds into buildings for 30 minutes as the pig civilization is genocided off the face of the planet. Remember kids, violence solves everything and indiscriminate carpet bombing of civilians is a-ok so long as you are really really ticked off.

I don't really buy this reading of the movie, since the pigs were technologically advanced colonizers rather than poor refugees, but it really didn't help that Red's only reason for distrusting the pigs for most of the movie was "they're weird and different from us," and it came out in 2016 when fearmongering about immigration was at its peak.
