The first trailer for the new Angry Birds movie is unexpectedly packed with humor.

The first trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3 has dropped, and it hilariously dives into the chaos of parenting. The standout news is that Red, our favorite angry bird, has taken on the role of a dad. And let’s just say, this trailer leans heavily into bathroom humor, with an impressive focus on a pee joke that’s hard to ignore. Mark your calendars for December 23, as that’s when the movie hits theaters, just in time for the holiday season.

The trailer kicks off with a shot of a stadium, clearly nodding to the World Cup excitement, before flipping the script to reveal a parenting theme. It checks all the classic boxes: emotionally distant teens, a baby with a knack for getting into trouble, a quip about soda consumption, and a diaper change that goes hilariously wrong.

Two years back, the Angry Birds YouTube channel confirmed that a third installment was in the works. The fact that this adaptation of a mobile game, where players launch birds at pigs, is getting a third film is a testament to the franchise’s financial success.

The original Angry Birds Movie debuted in 2016, receiving mixed reviews but raking in an impressive $352.3 million globally. Whether it was the star-studded cast featuring names like Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, and Maya Rudolph, or simply because it was one of the few animated films available at the time, it drew in a large audience looking for a break from the kids.

The sequel, which focused on a peace agreement between the birds and pigs, garnered better critical reception, and while it didn’t quite match the box office success of its predecessor, it became a hit on Netflix. This led to the creation of the animated series Angry Birds: Summer Madness.

In the seven years since the last film, Paramount has taken over distribution from Sony. Jason Sudeikis reprises his role as Red, joined by returning voices Josh Gad, Danny McBride, and Rachel Bloom. Tim Robinson and MrBeast are also part of the cast, adding an unexpected twist.

While it’s unlikely that this film will surpass The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which is currently the top-grossing film of 2026 with over a billion at the box office, it does highlight that there’s still a strong audience for animated films based on video games. We’ll see if Red’s journey into fatherhood resonates with viewers later this year.
