Actually, IS Metalbeak a band name.
No, but there is Hatebeak, the death metal band with a parrot for a lead singer.

I'm kinda irrationally excited about this film. I love owls, I love how the WARRIOR OWLS look in the posters, and for some reason Lord of the Rings with owls as made by Disney sounds like THE BEST THING EVER to me. Even seeing the trailer didn't manage to kill my enthusiasm. I can't really explain these feelings.

Okay then...:
Helen Mirren says she thinks American actors are very good at voicing animated films because they approach the job with such abandon.The Oscar-winner says British actors are more controlled and circumspect.Because of that, Mirren says, she was a bit intimidated by her role in the animated 3D film "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole," which opens today.Part of the reason she wanted to voice the character of the evil owl Nyra was to learn to be more free.

Finally saw this last night. Really has to be one of the most insane fantasy films ever. The almost palpable realism of the face fluff, making us want to pet the screen. The relentless cognitive dissonance of the premise. The Dead Can Dance Moment (so glad you warned me about this Abbs). My wife loved it so much I think she was having an irl out of body experience.
We also watched this at like 1 in the morning so there was an added layer of hypnagogic delerium on my part.
