Celebrating the Release of The Angry Birds Movie 2 at the LA Zoo!

In celebration of the release of The Angry Birds 2 Movie, we made a special trip to the Los Angeles Zoo for a morning filled with Angry Bird fun. After a quick breakfast, we were off to the Special World of Birds Show at the LA Zoo. Be sure to watch the “Bird Watching” portion of the bonus features to get a peek into this amazing show as you get up close and personal with real-life Mighty Eagles, Blue Birds, Toucans, and more. 

Look how close some of the birds got to us!

As a really special treat, we were given a drawing demonstration on how to draw some of the characters. The kids loved this and drawing their favorite characters from the film!

Future You Tubers at work. 😉

Seeing what it would be like to have wings like a bird. So fun!

You never know who you will meet in LA. 😉 Tori Spelling and her family were super sweet.

More About the Film

Jason Sudeikis (Booksmart), Josh Gad (Frozen II), Bill Hader (Inside Out), Danny McBride (TV’s “The Righteous Gemstones”), and Peter Dinklage (TV’s “Game of Thrones”) reprise their roles from 2016’s The Angry Birds Movie in the hilarious family-friendly sequel, THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Joining the all-star cast is Leslie Jones (TV’s “Saturday Night Live”), Rachel Bloom (TV’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’), Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians), Sterling K. Brown (TV’s “This Is Us”), and Eugenio Derbez (Dora and the Lost City of Gold).

The flightless angry birds and the scheming green piggies take their beef to the next level in THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2! When a new threat emerges that puts both Bird and Pig Island in danger, Red (Jason Sudeikis), Chuck (Josh Gad), Bomb (Danny McBride), and Mighty Eagle (Peter Dinklage) recruit Chuck’s sister Silver (Rachel Bloom) and team up with pigs Leonard (Bill Hader), his assistant, Courtney (Awkwafina), and techpig, Garry (Sterling K. Brown), to forge an unsteady truce and form an unlikely super team to save their homes.

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 is currently perched atop Rotten Tomatoes’ ranking of the best-reviewed video game films of all time and has critics chirping its praises with Deadline’s Pete Hammond calling it “a wacky, fast-paced delight” and Variety’s Guy Lodge claiming “one sequence may just be funnier than any scene from a comedy in the last year.”

Bonus materials for THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 include an all-new mini movie “Live Stream” and six adorable Hatchling shorts, three Family Fun DIY activities inspired by the film, a collection of behind-the-scenes featurettes with cast and crew, an exciting visit to the LA Zoo to meet some amazing feathered friends, a holiday themed sing along and much more! The IMAX® Enhanced 4K Ultra HD edition features digitally remastered content presented with High Dynamic Range and DTS:X® audio for a more immersive at-home entertainment experience.

THE ANGRY BIRDS MOVIE 2 has a runtime of approximately 97 minutes and is rated PG for rude humor and action.
