The Angry Birds Movie

The Angry Birds Movie (also known simply as Angry Birds) is a 2016 computer-animated action-adventure comedy film based on Rovio Entertainment's video game series of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures and Rovio Animation, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It was directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly in their directorial debuts, and written by Jon Vitti. The film features the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Sean Penn, Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Bill Hader, and Peter Dinklage. The film follows Red, a resident in an island of anthropomorphic birds, as he suspects the newly arrived crew of pigs of plotting an evil plan, and attempts to put a stop to them with the help of his newly-formed friends.
The Angry Birds Movie was released in the United States and Canada on May 20, 2016. The critical consensus on Rotten Tomatoes calls it more entertaining than expected for a film based on an app. The film grossed $352 million worldwide and became the fourth highest-grossing film of all time to be based on a video game (let alone a mobile device game), behind Warcraft (2016), Detective Pikachu (2019), and Rampage (2018). Sony Pictures Animation, which was not involved with this film, co-produced the sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2, with Rovio Entertainment and was released on August 14, 2019.
