Biography[]

Background[]

18 years before the beginning of the movie, storks used to produce human infants from the mystical "Baby Factory" and deliver to parents who requested them. However, one day, a stork named Jasper went insane and tried to keep a baby, inadvertently causing the infant girl's address beacon to be broken, preventing her from being delivered. The moment made Hunter come to the conclusion that baby delivery was a false goal, and so he shut down the Baby Factory and changed the stork's business to package delivery, creating the company Cornerstone.

Storks[]

Hunter first appears when Junior, Cornerstone's top delivery stork, enters his office as ordered. Hunter explains that because he's being promoted to chairman, he has chosen Junior to take his place as boss, exciting Junior. However, he gives Junior a task to perform before he can take office: Fire the human employee Tulip, who was the baby that was failed to be delivered and whom Hunter believes is too incompetent to continue working. Unfortunately, Junior's inability to fire her causes him to move her to the letters department room (which has been defunct ever since the storks stopped delivering babies) where she'd be out of the way. However, this inadvertently leads to the creation of a baby named Diamond Destiny.

After realizing that Junior and Tulip had made an unauthorized baby girl, Hunter changes the delivery address in order to abduct her. Once Junior arrived with the baby, Hunter fired him, and had an army of penguins tie him up like an infant and had her taken away from the human public, revealing his true intent: To make sure the company never falls apart by any means necessary.

During Stork-Con, while Hunter was making a speech about spherical boxes, he realized that Junior and Tulip broke into the facility while wearing a mascot costume. He attempted to persuade Junior into giving up the baby and let bygones be bygones. Upon refusal, Junior sent in millions of letters inside the machine and inadvertently made an uncountable amount of babies. Hunter, welding a giant construction robot then broke into the baby factory, vowing to destroy the building. However, the controls for the robot were stolen by Diamond Destiny, causing the robot to fall off of the building.

Stuck on a wiring outside the building, Hunter attempted to escape, but with the emergency exit hatch blocked by wiring, he was left trapped inside the robot. Suddenly, several small birds that Hunter had abused by playing golf over the years stood on the machine, and caused it and the delivery service building to fall. As a final resort, he made an attempt to take Junior and Tulip down with him, but failed, as the robot falls down and Junior starts flying again. With Hunter and the package delivery factory gone, Junior was made the new boss and babies were delivered again.

Quotes[]

Hunter: You wanna know why I built my office out of glass, even though birds can't see glass?
Junior: I do not.
Hunter: Power move.
~ Hunter's introduction.
Eighteen years ago, I saved all storks by getting out of babies and into package delivery. Now, this Monday at Storkcon, the board will announce they're kicking me upstairs. I'm going to be named Chairman. Which means you are going to be named boss.
~ Hunter attempting promote Junior as Boss.
Eighteen years ago, when we still delivered human infants, a stork named Jasper went crazy and tried to keep a baby. Tulip's beacon broke. Her address was destroyed so can no longer deliver her. It was then I realized there was no future in baby delivery. Now the orphan Tulip has just turned eighteen which means we can finally liberate her and return her to the human world.
~ Hunter tells Junior about Tulip's past and the reason why the baby factor is closed, while explaining of getting rid of Tulip.
The peaks are when Tulip is asleep, on vacation or out with the flu. The valleys are when she tries to help.
~ Hunter explaining Tulip being a screw-up.
Junior: I will liberate her. Consider her liberated! (rushes out the door, then peeks back in) And if she doesn't want to be liberated?
Hunter: Fire her. I'm talking about firing her!
Junior: Really?
Hunter: The only thing you need to do to be named boss on Monday is liberate the orphan Tulip. If I'm not being clear, I mean
fire her!
Junior: Yes, sir! I'm on it! I've read between the lines and heard you overtly. (Junior rushes out. Hunter takes out one of his robins and uses him like a paddle ball.)
Robin: Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!)
~ Hunter ordering Junior to fire Tulip.
Junior: Hunter?
Hunter: You're fired!
Junior: But-but-but...
Hunter: "But-but-but..." You are so idiotic! How were you not suspicious? (camera zooms out to show only the front wall of a house between two dilapidated factory buildings)
Junior: I thought it was a gentrifying neighborhood!
~ Hunter luring Junior into his trap and firing him, and mocking him for falling for such an obvious trap.
That baby is dangerous!
~ Hunter ordering to capture the trio of heroes.
We can go on like this all day. I'm just going to destroy the baby factory!
~ Hunter's last attempt to destroy the factory once for all before the attempt backfires.
Oh no.
~ Hunter's last words before he falls to death.

Trivia[]

  • In the teaser trailer, Hunter possesses a different physical appearance from that in the actual film. He has a slightly smaller body, lacks black hair at the back of his head, and merely wears a white dress collar and black tie. He also bears a striking resemblance to Junior. This was meant to hide his villainy.
  • Though Hunter's villainy does not become entirely clear until the film progresses, there are some hints in the previews and on the film's promotion poster the foreshadow his villainy.
    • In the previews, Hunter is shown to abuse robins by using them to make a newton's cradle and as golf ball; having his office wall made of glass despite the fact birds cannot see glass so to overpower his employees; and when he finds out that Junior and Tulip have attempted to deliver the baby Junior accidentally produced, he declares the baby dangerous, and orders penguins to take her away. Since the penguins fight for the baby against Junior and Tulip as if they're villains, some viewers may begin to assume Hunter is the antagonist.
      • It is also noteworthy that Pigeon Toady appears to be the main antagonist in the previews. Toady is also positioned next to Hunter on the poster promoting the film, which is another give-away hint to wise viewers.
