Part of The Angry Birds
The Angry Birds Movie 3 (2026) is the third theatrical animated feature produced by Rovio Animation and Sega Pictures, adapting the Angry Birds casual-game property launched by the Finnish developer Rovio Mobile in December 2009. The original iOS game followed a flock of flightless birds launched by slingshot at structures defended by egg-stealing pigs and became the first mobile title to surpass two billion downloads; the first feature, The Angry Birds Movie, was released by Sony Pictures in 2016, followed by a 2019 sequel. The 2026 instalment, the first produced under Sega's ownership of Rovio, relocates the series from Columbia to Paramount Pictures distribution.
Angry Birds is a puzzle video game developed and published by the Finnish company Rovio Entertainment. First released for Apple's iOS in December 2009, the game quickly became a global phenomenon, spawning one of the most successful mobile gaming franchises in history. The core gameplay involves players using a slingshot to launch a variety of birds with distinct abilities at structures populated by green pigs, who have stolen the birds' eggs.
The game's simple, intuitive mechanics, combined with its charming character designs and physics-based puzzles, led to massive critical and commercial success. By 2011, it had been downloaded over a billion times across various platforms. The original game's popularity paved the way for numerous sequels, spin-offs, and a vast multimedia empire.
Beyond video games, the Angry Birds brand expanded into an extensive line of merchandise, including toys, clothing, and books. It also became a notable presence in popular culture, with theme park attractions and even an animated feature film series, cementing its legacy as a defining entertainment property of the early smartphone era.
The Angry Birds film series is a computer-animated comedy collection based on the globally popular mobile game franchise created by Rovio Entertainment. Expanding the simple premise of the games—flightless birds defending their eggs from green pigs—the films build narratives around themes of anger management, community, and teamwork. The series is a co-production between Rovio Animation and Columbia Pictures, with distribution by Sony Pictures Releasing. It translates the iconic character designs and slingshot-based physics of the games into a vibrant, cartoonish world where the bird inhabitants of Bird Island clash with the pig residents of Piggy Island, often escalating from personal grudges to island-wide threats. The films are known for their slapstick humor, pop culture references, and ensemble voice casts featuring well-known comedians and actors. As a media extension, the film series represents Rovio's most ambitious effort to bring its characters to a mainstream theatrical audience, helping to sustain the Angry Birds brand beyond its initial mobile gaming peak and introducing the characters to new generations.
