Taglines: Why so angry?
In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we’ll finally find out why the birds are so angry. The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.
The Angry Birds Movie (or simply Angry Birds) is a 2016 3D computer-animated comedy film based on the video game series of the same name, though it is also implied to be a direct prequel to, or origin story behind the original game. Produced by Rovio Animation, it was animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks. It was directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly in their directorial debuts,[10] and written by Jon Vitti.
The film stars Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad who previously voices Olaf in Frozen series, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Sean Penn, Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Bill Hader and Peter Dinklage also with Smosh cast Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox. It is an international co-production between the United States and Finland. Critical reception was mixed: it was praised for its animation, voice-acting performances, soundtrack, and action scenes but was criticized for its plot, and humor (including pop culture references). The Angry Birds Movie was released in the United States on May 20, 2016, and grossed over $352 million. A sequel is scheduled to be released on September 20, 2019.
