WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
On an island populated by flightless birds, Red (Sudeikis) is struggling with a lot of internal anger that has built up over the years, something that is only increased by the sudden arrival of a pig colony as led by their King Leonard (Hader), which Red immediately finds suspicious. When the pigs’ true motives suddenly come to light, it’s up to Red and the fellow bird community to vent their anger into getting their revenge on the pigs…
