The Angry Birds Movie is a 2016 animated comedy film based on the Angry Birds video game series. It was directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly, written by Jon Vitti, and 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, an outcast on an island of anthropomorphic flightless birds, as he suspects a newly arrived crew of anthropomorphic green pigs, led by Leonard, of plotting an evil plan, and attempts to put a stop to them with the help of his newfound friends Chuck and Bomb.
After the success of the Angry Birds Toons animated series, Rovio Entertainment, the developer of the original video game, began work on a film adaptation. The project was announced in December 2012. The first image from the film was revealed in October 2014, with Sudeikis, Gad, McBride, Hader, Rudolph, and Dinklage revealed to be part of its cast at the same time. Rovio and Sony Pictures announced they would spend roughly €100 million on the marketing and distribution of The Angry Birds Movie, becoming the most expensive Finnish-produced film up to that point. Sony Pictures Imageworks was responsible for handling animation services for the film.
