The Angry Birds Movie Release and Giveaway

 

My children were so excited to see the trailers for THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE months ago and so we did see it in the theater and have now watched my media copy many times from the comfort of our couch.  🙂  The Angry Birds Movie was in theaters back in May and came out on digital July 29.  It was released on Blu-ray^™ Combo Pack, 4K Ultra HD^™ + Blu-ray 3D^™ Combo Pack & DVD Aug. 16 from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.  I recently read that a sequel is already in the works.

 

This animated film features the voices of Jason Sudeikis as Red, Josh Gad as Chuck, Danny McBride as Bomb, Maya Rudolph as Matilda, Kate McKinnon as Stella, Sean Penn as Terence, Tony Hale as Ross, Keegan-Michael Key as Judge Peckinpah, Bill Hader as Leonard, and Peter Dinklage as Mighty Eagle.  Other voices you might recognize are:  Hannibal Buress, Ike Barinholtz, Titus Burgess, Jillian Bell, Billy Eichner, Danielle Brooks, YouTube stars Smosh and Latin music sensation Romeo Santos.

 

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE is based on the most downloaded app of all time (nearly 3.5 billion downloads).  This film takes us to a tropical island called Bird Island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely.  In this paradise, hot-headed Red often gets himself in trouble with his mouth.  He is sentenced to attend anger managements sessions coached by Matilda and attended by speedy Chuck, and the volatile Bomb.  

Suddenly, green piggies start arriving on their island by ship.  Red, Chuck, and Bomb join together to try and find Mighty Eagle for advice on why the piggies have arrived.  This trio later has to join forces to try and save the eggs of Bird Island.  

Boasting an “A” CinemaScore (viewers under age 25) and featuring even more of the breakout, fan-favorite Hatchlings, don’t miss the film that quickly became one of the highest-grossing video game based films of all time. 

Bonus content on THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE Blu-ray, DVD and digital formats includes a bonus scene; the Blake Shelton Music Video “Friends;” Symphony Mode, which allows viewers to play the movie without all the squawking, just the music; a Character Sketch Gallery, where fans can see drawings and renderings of the birds, pigs and environments from the film; and Music Vignettes with Composer Heitor Pereira. Blu-ray and digital exclusive content includes the all-new short “The Early Hatchling Gets the Worm”, deleted scenes and a series of fun mini-movies featuring the Hatchlings. There are also five additional featurettes including “Dance Along Birds and Pigs,” where fans learn the line dance from the movie; “Crafty Birds,” where viewers learn how to build their own piggy tower; and three featurettes where fans can “Meet the Birds,” “Meet The Pigs” and “Meet the Hatchlings.” 

Additionally, fans can unlock more content by syncing the Angry Birds Action! app with the audio on the
Blu-ray or Digital version of the movie.  The Angry Birds Action! app movie integration will also extend to retail where fans can unlock an augmented reality Hatchlings selfie feature by scanning “bird codes” on in-store signage.
 
Angry Birds Toons: Season 3 Volume 1 was made available on digital July 29 and on DVD Aug. 16.  The set features 13 mini episodes of avian adventures that the whole family can enjoy.  Bonus materials include three behind-the-scenes videos and character reels featuring Chuck, King Pig and Matilda.
