In the film, the birds are forced to team up with the pigs when an advanced weapon threatens both Bird and Piggy Islands.
Production on a sequel to The Angry Birds Movie began in August 2016 with the goal being that the sequel improves upon the first film. New ideas for the film were conceived with the premise being that the birds and pigs work together to save themselves, which typically does not happen in most Angry Birds games. New characters for the film were announced in March 2019 along with new cast members. Heitor Pereira returned to compose the film's score with artists such as Kesha and Luke Combs contributing tracks for the film.[5][6][7]
The film was theatrically released on August 2, 2019 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and in the United States on August 14. It has grossed $154 million worldwide and received generally positive reviews[8], with critics considering it an improvement over its predecessor. It is also the best reviewed animated film based on a video game on Rotten Tomatoes, as of 2020.
