Making the transition from gaming to the big screen rarely results in a sequel, but The Angry Birds Movie 2 has managed to buck the trend and the DVD, Blu-ray and digital download release date (details below) is bound to be another big one for family entertainment. It’ll be available digitally on Xbox ONE and PS4, alongside the usual iTunes and Amazon Video with rental options on each of them. You’ll also be able to buy the film on YouTube with its recently introduced Movies option, but it’s a little more expensive than the others at the moment.
Advertisement2 follows up on the success of the first film, which had its release back in 2016, but they both build on the massive popularity of the mobile game that set the whole franchise up. It’s been played by millions of gamers and somehow the film appears to be just as sticky, catapulting the warring birds and pigs onto the big screen in a big way.
While the opening movie focused on the infamous war between invading pigs and angry bird, the sequel sees the former enemies joining forces to face off against a new threat to their sort-of-tranquility. With a new threat looming, Red, Chuck and Bomb must put aside their former pork-based animosity, pathing the way for a whole lot of fun for The Angry Birds Movie 2 DVD, Blu-ray and digital release.
The high-flying story will be told with yet another big cast list as Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gadd and Danny McBride return as Red, Chuck and Bomb, alongside Peter Drinklage as Mighty Eagle and Bill Hader as Leonard. They’re joined by new additions Nicky Minaj as Pinky, Tiffany Haddish as Debbie and Stranger Things’ Gaten Materazzo as Bubba.
