More about The Angry Birds

The Angry Birds Movie (2016): A Fowl-Tempered Delight

Picture this: an island paradise where birds live in blissful ignorance of the outside world—except for Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), a permanently scowling outcast with a serious chip on his wing. When a mysterious boatload of green pigs, led by the overly charming Leonard (Bill Hader), arrives bearing gifts and promises of friendship, Red is the only one suspicious enough to see through their porky deception. As his feathered neighbors throw a raucous welcome party, the pigs pull off the ultimate heist—stealing the birds' most precious possessions: their eggs.

Forced into action, Red, alongside his hyperactive sidekick Chuck (Josh Gad) and the explosive Bomb (Danny McBride), sets off on a high-flying adventure to reclaim their future hatchlings. The trio’s only hope? The legendary, if wildly out-of-shape, Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage). What follows is a slapstick-fueled siege of Piggy Island, culminating in a bombastic, wing-flapping showdown that’s part Mission: Impossible, part Looney Tunes mayhem.

With its vibrant animation, zippy humor, and a surprising amount of heart, The Angry Birds Movie takes a viral mobile game and launches it into a kinetic, family-friendly blockbuster that’s as charmingly ridiculous as it is unexpectedly fun.
