The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a 2019 animated comedy film based on the Angry Birds video game series and the second installment in the film series. Directed by Thurop Van Orman (in his feature film directorial debut) and written by Peter Ackerman, Eyal Podell and Jonathon E. Stewart, the film stars Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Bill Hader, Danny McBride, and Peter Dinklage reprising their roles from the first film, with Leslie Jones, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, and Eugenio Derbez joining the cast. In the film, the birds are forced to team up with the pigs to stop Eagle Island's leader from destroying both of their islands.
Heitor Pereira returned to compose the film's score, with artists such as Kesha and Luke Combs contributing tracks for the film. It also features classical pop songs from the 1960s to 2000s, as in the first film.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 was theatrically released in Finland on August 7, 2019, and in the United States on August 14, by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received generally positive reviews from critics who deemed it an improvement over its predecessor, and grossed $153 million on a $65 million budget. A sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 3, is due to be released on December 23, 2026.
