In this animated feature set in the early 1800s, a young Russian general (Michel Elias) saves Moscow by lighting the city's birds -- and thus the city -- on fire, causing an invading Napoleon Bonaparte to turn back. Unfortunately for the general, the birds never forgive him, and for years attack and terrorize him every time he steps outside. One day the general meets a friendly dog whose bark keeps the birds away, and together they begin a journey to make amends with the angry birds.
