On the brink of video games being made into feature films, you'd have to think "when will it end?!!" But this sounds promising so far. The film has a great cast, Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses) as Red, Josh Gad (Frozen) as Chuck and Danny McBride (Pineapple Express) as Bomb. Amongst them are Maya Rudolph (Bridesmaids) as Matilda and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) as Mighty Eagle. Along with Bill Hader, Keegan-Michael Key and Kate McKinnon as the supporting cast.

Producer John Cohen had nothing but praise for the cast, "I'm extremely proud of this cast. Not only do we have Jason, Josh, Danny, Bill, Maya and Peter bringing these characters to life, but they're surrounded by an all-star ensemble of emerging comedic talent — these are some of the funniest people out there today, and we're thrilled to have them all on board".

Chief marketing officer Blanca Juti of Rovio Entertainment also expressed his enthusiasm, "We heard limbs and dialogue were all the rage in modern animation so we went all in. Not just one, but all of our characters have legs and wings! Except for the pigs, that is".

The animated film from Columbia Pictures is set for a July 1, 2016 release. Written by Jon Vitti (The Simpsons) being directed by Clay Katis (Wreck-It Ralph) and Fergal Reilly (The Smurfs).

The Angry Birds property has no story. It was RIPE for a movie adaptation.
The movie is probably gonna be sh!t, but you know Hollywood... they seldom give a sh!t.

Exactly @Doopie

I'll never understand this...

We have a movie about Tetris...but something like Thundercats never makes the big screen.

Who pitches a movie about Tetris? I'd love to see to who THAT GUY was.

Michael Bay will produce it. Blocks exploding Everywhere.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I think this would have been better if it was 2D instead of 3D.

@LubedUp Agreed, Batman V. Superman, X-Men: Apocalypse, Cap 3, Angry Birds, DeadPool, etc 2015 is going to have good stuff too. But 2015 is shit compared to 2016...

Of all the games that get a movie, it's Angry Birds! Don't get me wrong, I like the series and what not. But it's so sad that we haven't gotten a Halo movie yet!

I'm interested in this movie, looks cute and looks like a fun time. Hell some of my favorite movies OF ALL TIME are animated movies. Toy Story, The Incredibles, The Iron Giant, Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc, etc.

Just make it into an Ocean's style bank heist or something along those lines...

Huh. Well, the animation looks good.

I don't know, this still seems stupid.

But hey, if they put real effort into it, maybe it'll turn out like the Lego movie.

At least its animated, i heard somewhere they were going to pull a smurfs and mix live action with animation. If that was the case i might have just died on the spot.
