The third instalment in the ‘Angry Birds’ franchise promises to take audiences on a fresh adventure, this time focusing on the complexities of family life. As the beloved characters navigate the challenges of parenthood, the film brings a new dimension to the well-known story, with Red and Silver now bringing up their three children.

Jason Sudeikis, known for his voice role as the short-tempered Red, reprises his role in ‘Angry Birds Movie 3’. This time, however, Red is cast into the chaotic world of parenting. Alongside him is Silver, voiced by Rachel Bloom, as they attempt to guide their children through the ups and downs of adolescence.
Red and Silver’s offspring are voiced by a new and talented generation of actors. Walker Scobell, Emma Myers, and young Psalm West lend their voices to the trio of siblings: Glider, June, and baby hatchling Olly, respectively. This new dynamic reveals not only the challenges that come with raising kids but also the laughs and emotional growth that accompany family life.
Scobell, who plays the adventurous Glider, reflects on the nostalgic connection he feels towards the franchise. “My mum used to have this iPad with a pink case,” he reminisces. “Me and my siblings used to always play games on that when we were younger, and Angry Birds was one of them.” Scobell’s excitement extends beyond his childhood memories, as he fondly recalls his fondness for Chuck, a character voiced by Josh Gad, who returns in this latest film.
Emma Myers echoes this sentiment, sharing her own fond experiences with the game. “It’s one of those classic phone games you play as a kid,” she notes. Interestingly, she admits to favouring the pigs over the titular birds, illustrating her playful connection to the series.
While previous films focused on Red’s escapades, this new release shines a light on the unique challenges of raising children at varying stages of development. The narrative addresses the awkwardness of adolescence with a humorous lens, as Red attempts to be a “cool dad,” despite his best intentions often leading to cringeworthy situations. Myers remarks, “He tries to be super involved and then unintentionally really embarrasses his children, which is such a dad thing to do.”
The film navigates through different parenting stages, showcasing Red and Silver raising children from a baby to a high school teenager. Myers explains that each sibling presents their own unique challenges. Glider’s thirst for adventure often leaves Red in predicaments where he must balance being protective while allowing his son to seek thrills.
Interestingly, while there are traits inherited from Red, such as a rebellious streak, Scobell suggests that it is less about the infamous temper and more about a carefree attitude towards rules. Myers adds to this thought, noting that while the children may exhibit some anger, it often stems from the embarrassment of their father’s antics rather than a direct inheritance of his temperament.
Despite portraying a closely-knit family, Scobell and Myers reveal that their experience in voice acting kept them largely apart during production. Scobell candidly admits, “I still haven’t met any of the other people in the movie,” highlighting a reality that voice actors often face. However, he and Myers maintained communications after recording sessions, sharing their experiences in a relatable manner.
The heart of ‘Angry Birds Movie 3’ lies in its emotional core, a sentiment echoed by Scobell. He believes this film brings a different depth to the Angry Birds universe by intertwining chaos with heartfelt family moments.
Myers adds, “It’s such a family film. I love seeing families go to the theatre together. I think it’s so important.” As audiences anticipate its release, it seems this new direction will resonate with many who understand the beautifully messy challenges of parenthood.
Scheduled to land in cinemas on 23 December 2026, ‘Angry Birds Movie 3’ aims to evoke laughter and emotion while continuing to expand the beloved franchise’s legacy. As families prepare to flock to the theatres for this new chapter, it promises to be a heartfelt celebration of what it truly means to navigate the challenges of being a family.
