The Angry Birds movie franchise is based on the mobile game series, which centers around the adventures of a group of flightless birds who inhabit the idyllic Bird Island.

The first film, released in 2016, introduces Red, a bad-tempered bird with a permanent scowl, who becomes the unlikely hero when Piggy Island’s porcine inhabitants, led by King Leonard Mudbeard, steal the birds’ eggs.

The sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2, released in 2019, expands on the universe by introducing a new threat from Eagle Island, led by the vengeful Zeta. Zeta’s plan to freeze both Bird Island and Piggy Island forces the birds and pigs to form an uneasy alliance to save their homes.

Prime Focus Studios, Rovio and Sega will produce the movie in association with One Cool Group, Flywheel Media, and dentsu.
