Well, this is for the birds, isn’t it? Yeah, I went there…

EW have revealed four imaged from the upcoming Angry Birds movie and you can see them right here.

Producer John Cohen says: “This is the origin story for how that ­conflict came to exist between birds and little green piggies.”

Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis) is one of a ­community of beaked denizens on an all-bird island paradise, but what separates him from his chirpy chums is how ­easily his feathers get ­ruffled. “He’s a curmudgeon,” says Clay Kaytis, who’s directing the film with Fergal Reilly. “We knew we had to find an actor who could say
 these things and still be ­charming, and that was Jason.” Red is joined by a pair of birds of a feather with similar anger-­management issues: the hyperactive speed freak Chuck (Josh Gad) and the intermittently ­explosive Bomb (Danny McBride). It’s the job of these three misfits to fight back when their nests are infiltrated by snouted interlopers 
and their porcine spokesman, Leonard, voiced by Bill Hader.

The Angry Birds Movie come from Sony Pictures and Rovio Entertainment and arrives on May 20th, 2016.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
