The film follows Red and the birds as they team up with Leonard and the pigs. Together, they must stop Zeta, the leader of Eagle Island, from destroying both their homes. The creative team deliberately broke from the games’ source material for the sequel’s storyline.
The sequel earned $152.8 million worldwide against a $65 million budget during its theatrical run. Rotten Tomatoes shows 72% of 108 critics gave positive reviews, with a 5.7/10 average rating.

The film’s renewed visibility on Netflix arrives ahead of The Angry Birds Movie 3. Paramount Pictures picked up distribution rights for the third installment, set for December 23, 2026. Jason Sudeikis and Josh Gad will reprise their roles as Red and Chuck, respectively. Emma Myers, Keke Palmer, Lily James, and Tim Robinson join the cast for the sequel. John Rice directs the third film, with Thurop Van Orman writing the screenplay.
