The Angry Birds Movie

On a serene island where birds have given up flying, Red lives on the outskirts because he has a short temper. He shares outsider status with Chuck, an overexcited speedster, and Bomb, whose moods can blow up at any moment. The island's calm is disrupted when a fleet of courteous green pigs arrives, offering friendship and odd gifts. Red smells something off and ropes Chuck and Bomb into investigating the newcomers. Their amateur sleuthing turns into a series of comic set pieces and escalating confrontations, with the trio learning to work together while trying to figure out what the pigs are really planning, all delivered in a light, family-friendly tone.

Released in 2016, The Angry Birds Movie was directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly, with a screenplay by Jon Vitti. Producers included John Cohen and Mikael Hed, and the picture adapts Rovio Entertainment's smash-hit mobile game for a wider audience.

The film was a global box office success, helping transform a mobile app into a theatrical franchise. Strong returns led to sequels and an expanded merchandising push, with studios investing in toys, licensing, and cross-promotional deals tied to the Angry Birds brand.

Its bright character designs and broad slapstick helped the birds leap from phone screens into mainstream visibility. The film amplified the franchise through toys, clothing, theme-park attractions, and marketing tie-ins, and the playful dynamic among Red, Chuck, and Bomb became central to the property’s pop-culture identity.

Critical response was mixed and the audience score sits at 6.249/10 (3878 votes). Reviewers and viewers liked the energetic voice cast and visual gags but noted the plot is simple. The movie focuses on friendship, anger management, inclusion, and teamwork, packaged as fast jokes and physical humor aimed mainly at families and younger kids.
