Sony Animation introduced the world to the Angry Birds movie last week at a grand unveiling, but just in case the world was too busy playing actual Angry Birds to notice, here’s a first teaser trailer to show what’s in store with the animation.
The film’s premise has the naive and surprisingly mellow birds living in peaceful climes - the perma-fiery Red (Jason Sudeikis) aside. Co-directors Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly introduce us to a world full of knowing nods - a Birds And Bees Fertility Clinic and an Early Bird Worm Shop are two fixtures on the avian island – in which flightless birds live in harmony, still unmolested by troublesome pigs.
There’s also speedster Chuck (Josh Gad), anger management therapist Matilda (Maya Rudolph), and the self-explanatory Bomb (Danny McBride). But then, joining the jamboree as initially innocent visitors from over the horizon, come a bunch of nautical pigs. Eggs get filched and war is soon declared. Bill Hader voices a pig. We may be on their side.
Peter Dinklage, Kate McKinnon and Tony Hale also lend their vocal chords to this one. Angry Birds declare war on these shores on May 13, 2016.
