Hamshank Redemption is the twenty-sixth episode of Angry Birds Toons.

Prisoner Pig and Goliath Pig make their appearance here. It was aired on September 8, 2013.


Origins[]

The name of this episode and the plot is based off The Shawshank Redemption.

Toons.TV Description[]

A prisoner pig tries to escape from his cell with all kinds of crazy attempts. Will he manage to free himself without going mad?

Characters[]

Plot[]

At night, a new prisoner is thrown into his cell. The guard snickers at him, thinking he would be unable to escape. The prisoner pig chuckles as he manages to hide a file from them. Spitting it out, he decides to make his escape and looks for a window. He eventually sees one but seeing it was so high up, he becomes hopeless. When the bed sightly bounces, he acquires the idea of using the spring of the beds instead of bouncing from it as a whole.

Once he attaches the spring to himself, he begins to spring up to the ceiling, just to see it was just out of reach. He tries with two springs, but it lifts him too high, resulting in his face slamming right into the bars of the skylight, alerting the guards in the process. 

To prevent another attempt via the skylight, the guards take away his bed and file. Prisoner Pig looks around for another way to escape then discovers he could make use of the sewers via flushing himself down the toilet. He does so, travels through a series of pipes, and ends up in another cell with its escapee-wannabe, a Goliath Pig, trying to do what Prisoner Pig previously did: using springs to bounce up to the barred skylight. The Goliath Pig wonders why he was in his cell, scaring the Prisoner Pig back through the sewers. Goliath Pig suddenly gets an idea.

Prisoner Pig continues until he reaches a toilet currently being used by two guards, causing them to realize he was escaping by the sewers. To ensure he did not try that again, they bolted the toilet such that it was not wide enough for him to navigate through the sewers. A meal is then served to the Prisoner Pig.

Prisoner Pig sees the spoon in his meal and decides that he will dig his way through the prison walls. He does so and tries to sneak around until he bumps into something. Lighting a match, he is shocked to see Terence in the area, scaring him back to his cell. Sad he was going to remain stuck in prison, he hears a sudden shake. Turns out Goliath Pig traveled through the sewers into his cell, past the bolted wedges, and launched himself past the skylight, but got caught by the guards. 

Seeing the Goliath Pig's propeller hat drop-down, he acquires the idea of using it to propel himself up and into the air. Soon, he does that and the guards get angry when he manages to escape. Goliath Pig gets proud of him as he manages to escape to freedom. Prisoner Pig blows raspberries at the guards to tell them that they can't hold him prisoner forever.

Errors[]

  • At 1:40, the meal can be seen, but at 1:53, it disappears.

Trivia[]

  • This is the second non-announced episode on the FOX8 website. The first being The Bird That Cried Pig.
  • This is the third appearance of Terence. However, it is possible that King Pig hired Terence to make sure that no prisoners try to dig their way out of prison as even the prisoners fear him.
  • The episode's plot and title are a reference to the book and its 1994 film adaptation The Shawshank Redemption.
  • This is the third episode the whole episode itself takes place at night. First was Pig Talent and second was Thunder Chuck.
  • The scene in the cave is similar to another meeting with Terence in the episode Run Chuck Run, with his match lit, only in this episode, the pig runs the other way.
  • When the Prisoner Pig ends up in the Propeller Pig's cell, you can see a signed picture of a female pig; if you look closely, it reads "Marilyn Pigroe". This is a reference to Marilyn Monroe.
  • Incidentally, this episode has similarities with Miracle in Cell No.7, The Korean Noir, Comedy Movie, with an escaping scene.
    • Also, in Miracle in cell No.7, the protagonist fails to escape by flying at last, while Prisoner Pig escapes successfully with a flying cap.
    • Nevertheless, the Korean title of this episode is a parody of Miracle in cell No.7.
    • This is the first time since Trojan Egg that a bird doesn't play a massive role in the episode and is merely a cameo.
