The Ham'o'ween Short Movie is a short animated video made by Rovio as a trailer for Ham'o'ween. It shows how Bubbles joined the flock.
Story[]
The short opens on a strange mountain trail on Halloween Night. Shadows of Frankenstein's monster, a witch, and a devil are seen moving toward the Mighty Eagle's cave.
Mighty peers out of his cave to see the three shady figures, who are just the Blues in costumes, who are trick-or-treating. After Mighty gives them candy, the Blues continue on their way around the island, until they see a large, orange, blobby creature lurking in the woods. Each of the Blues imagines what kind of monster it could have been, but then laugh it off and assume that it is part of Halloween, and pursue the unknown creature.
The Blues look around the forest for the creature and see that their candy bucket is shaking. They look inside the bucket to find an orange oriole bird named Bubbles, who is happily eating their candy. Suddenly, the Minion Pigs appear, wearing King Pig masks and bringing candy to their fortress. The Blues hide them and the bucket behind a tree so they can sigh in relief after the pigs are gone. However, they are surprised to see that Bubbles somehow got inside one of the Minion Pigs' candy buckets.
Then they find that one of the Minion Pigs dropped their mask, so they put it on to disguise themselves and follow the Minion Pigs to the fortress to get the orange bird. The Blues, with their Pig Mask and their candy bucket, actually fool the Corporal Pigs, who are guarding entry to the fortress.
When the Blues get inside, they see all of the Minion Pigs dumping candy onto a conveyor belt. The Blues then spot Bubbles, who has been dumped onto the conveyor belt with the candy, as the pigs are unaware of it. King Pig, who is dressed as a vampire, is sitting at the end of the conveyor belt and opens his mouth so that all the candy falls into it. Another pig, dressed as a mummy, activates the conveyor belt by pushing a lever to slow/forward.
The Blues gasp when they see it and they turn off the conveyor belt by pushing aside the mummy pig and setting the lever to "stop". As King Pig spots Bubbles on the unmoving conveyor belt, he gets angry and calls on the Corporal Pigs, who hop onto the conveyor belt and see the orange bird. The Blues pull the lever to "slow reverse", making the conveyor belt go the other way and toppling the Corporal Pigs off of it. But then the Corporal Pigs hop onto the other side of the conveyor belt. The Blues switch the lever back to "slow". Bubbles, who has no idea of his troubles all along, has still been happily munching on candy as the Blues keep switching the lever around. Suddenly, they accidentally turn the lever to "fast reverse", and King Pig gets pulled onto it by mistake, knocking all the Corporal Pigs and almost all of the candy off.
Bubbles, seeing one of his favorite kind of candy, and King Pig, seeing it too, both try to get it until the conveyor belt explodes. Bubbles, King Pig and the piece of candy are then shot up into the air. Bubbles and King Pig both lunge for it in slow motion, then it ends with King Pig catching it in his mouth. The orange bird saw King Pig chuckling after he grabbed the candy and is annoyed.
For the first time, Bubbles actually gets very angry, and uses his power of inflating to an enormous size to squish King Pig against a wall, making the piece of candy shoot out of his mouth and into Bubbles' beak, making him happy again. He then belches and zooms around the room while deflating, damaging the fortress even more, before landing back in the Blues' candy bucket, which was emptied. The Blues see the orange bird in their bucket yet again and are happy about it.
The Blues then befriend Bubbles and walk away from the fortress, which collapses as the four leave.

- This was King Pig's second appearance in the short after the Summer Pignic Short Movie.
- Bubbles can be heard making baby like-sounds throughout the short.
Errors[]
- Strangely, when the Blues rushed on the conveyor belt when they pull the lever, their Pig Mask closed its mouth.
