Plot Summary


The curtain opens on Red (voiced by Jason Sudeikis), a hapless bird in a frantic dash through the forest, clutching an egg with all his might. His erratic flight path weaves between trees and various woodland creatures before finally arriving at the cozy abode of a bird family. Donning a clown suit, Red bursts into song for Timmy’s hatch-day celebration, but his antics are met with terror by the little one. Timmy’s dad (voiced by Hannibal Buress), a no-nonsense parent, scolds Red for his tardiness and cake-mishandling, refusing to compensate for the damage. Incensed, Red loses his temper, shoving the cake into the father’s face, and in the chaos that ensues, he carelessly crushes the family’s precious new egg, ensuring it will be his own besmirched visage that greets the hatchling.

Red resides in a solitary seaside abode on Bird Island, separated from the rest of his flightless flock. As a youth, he was mercilessly teased for his exaggerated eyebrows, and to this day, he remains friendless. His life takes an unexpected turn when Red is summoned before Judge Peckinpah (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key), who indicts him for his propensity towards anger. Red’s impassioned response involves divesting himself of his robe, revealing that he stands atop a diminutive bird named Cyrus (voiced by Tony Hale). The judge subsequently sentences Red to attend anger management classes.

Reluctantly, Red trudges to the appointed location, where he’s greeted by an inanimate welcome sign that, inexplicably, emits a mocking chuckle. Initially dismissive of its antics, Red becomes infuriated when the sign knocks him off balance, prompting him to tackle it and send it crashing into the hut. Inside, Red encounters Matilda (voiced by Maya Rudolph), the enigmatic teacher, along with his fellow classmates - Chuck (voiced by Josh Gad), a whirling dervish of a bird prone to troublemaking; Bomb (voiced by Danny McBride), a feathered explosive device who literally detonates under stress; and Terence (voiced by Sean Penn), an imposing giant who communicates solely through grunts, his dark past shrouded in mystery. The group attempts yoga exercises to temper their emotions, but Bomb’s propensity for pyrotechnics proves too great, resulting in a spectacular implosion. Following the session, Chuck and Bomb invite Red to join them, but he declines, opting instead to return home alone.

As the days unfold, the tranquility of Bird Island is disrupted by an unexpected arrival. In a creative exercise, Stella (voice of Kate McKinnon) assigns her feathered friends to craft poetic masterpieces. Chuck’s heartfelt recitation of his poem serves as a poignant lament for the desecration of the welcome sign bird, and it’s no surprise that Red is its intended target. Terence, fueled by indignation, takes matters into his own hands, delivering a forceful punch that sends Chuck crashing against the wall.

The sudden announcement of an impending arrival sparks curiosity among the island’s inhabitants. As they gaze out at the horizon, a ship materializes, its hull crashing into Red’s abode. The vessel is piloted by Leonard (voice of Bill Hader), a charismatic bearded pig accompanied by his trusty sidekick Ross (also Tony Hale). This unlikely duo hails from Piggy Island, and their intentions are shrouded in mystery.

As the sun dips below the horizon, the birds gather to celebrate the pigs’ arrival. Leonard regales them with tales of trampolines and a gargantuan slingshot, piquing their curiosity. After selecting Red as the unwitting star of his show, Leonard launches him into the beach, where he’s soon joined by Chuck and Bomb, who’ve decided to infiltrate the pigs’ ship. Their reconnaissance yields an astonishing discovery: dozens of hidden pigs, stashed away like cargo on the vessel.

As tensions simmer, Red confronts Leonard, accusing him of deceit. Leonard reveals that these pigs are, in fact, his cousins, and he’s brought them to Bird Island to stage a cowboy spectacle. Earl (voice of Blake Shelton), the lead cowboy, takes center stage as Peckinpah grapples with the sheer awfulness of Red’s decision to sneak onto the ship.

The pigs settle into their new surroundings, and the island’s other birds revel in their presence. However, Red’s suspicions are piqued when he catches Leonard coveting an egg. He enlists Chuck and Bomb to conduct a covert operation, monitoring the pigs’ activities with hawk-like precision. This reconnaissance mission sets off a chain reaction that ultimately leads Red to embark on a quest to locate Mighty Eagle (voice of Peter Dinklage), a legendary bird said to be the island’s protector – a myth no more.

As the three intrepid birds, Chuck (actor), Bomb, and Red, embark on an arduous ascent of a mountain, they’re convinced that the mythical Mighty Eagle awaits them at the summit. In a display of camaraderie, they attempt to invoke his legendary battle cry, only to discover that they’ve mistakenly climbed the wrong peak. Undeterred, they set off once more, this time scaling the correct mountain and stumbling upon the sacred Lake of Wisdom. Chuck and Bomb take a leisurely dip in its waters, while Red’s excitement grows as he prepares to finally meet his long-revered idol.

However, their hero-worship is short-lived, as Mighty Eagle’s arrival is met with a jarring reality check: instead of the chiseled, heroic figure they envisioned, he’s an older, portly bird who indulges in his treasured possessions and cranks out his signature theme song. Red’s enthusiasm momentarily falters, but it’s soon rekindled as he discovers Mighty Eagle using his prized binoculars to spy on a unsuspecting old lady bird.

Armed with this new information, Red, Chuck, and Bomb rush back to their village to confront the pigs, who have been secretly planning to steal their eggs. The trio stumbles upon the swine hosting an impromptu party for the other birds, only to find that they’re making off with the eggs while everyone’s distracted. Chuck darts into the celebration to sound the alarm, while Red and Bomb make a beeline for the ship.

As they reach the vessel, they spot the eggs suspended in mid-air, cradled by a net. Bomb seizes the opportunity to try and blow it up, but Leonard and his henchpigs thwart their efforts with a powerful hose, sending both birds tumbling into the water. The next morning, the village awakens to find its homes in ruins and eggs gone missing. Peckinpah approaches Red, filled with regret for not heeding his warnings about the pigs’ true intentions.

In the aftermath of this calamity, Red presents a plan: they must construct their own boat and follow the pigs back to their island, all while harnessing their collective anger to reclaim what’s rightfully theirs.

As King Mudbeard (Leonard), proudly presents the coveted eggs to his porcine subjects on Piggy Island, the birds orchestrate a daring heist. Their trusty vessel, equipped with a behemoth slingshot, arrives at the island’s outskirts, mere hours from being devoured by the gluttonous pigs. With their arsenal at the ready, Matilda takes center stage, unleashing explosive eggs from her unique posterior propulsion system. Next in line is Hal the boomerang bird (voice of Anthony Padilla), whose first attempt ends in a comical reversal, sending him hurtling back towards his feathered friends.

Bubbles (voice of Ian Hecox) then inflates to gargantuan size, threatening to engulf the unsuspecting pigs, while Stella’s valiant effort falls short of reaching the castle. Undeterred, Red takes aim at the fortress, bouncing off a nearby boulder before being launched towards the stronghold. Chuck and Bomb quickly follow suit, as Terence attempts to join the fray but ultimately breaks the slingshot.

Meanwhile, Red, Chuck, and Bomb infiltrate the castle, seeking the prized eggs. With Chuck’s superhuman speed, they create chaos among the guard pigs, allowing the trio to slip in unnoticed. However, their victory is short-lived, as they find themselves face-to-face with a steaming hot pot of boiling water, where the eggs are being prepared for consumption.

Red takes matters into his own hands, tackling the pig lowering the eggs into the pot and successfully rescuing them. Mighty Eagle swoops in to lend a wing, helping Red extricate the precious cargo from the castle. As the birds make their escape, Leonard clings to Red’s back, causing the two to tumble out of the fortress.

In the ensuing chaos, one blue egg slips free from its netted prison. Red selflessly decides to stay behind and save it, while Mighty Eagle flies off with the majority of the eggs. However, the pigs are hot on their heels, piloting their planes towards the birds’ retreat. Bomb drops down, triggering a massive explosion that sends the pigs careening off the ramp, rendering their aerial pursuit futile.

As the fervent battle between Red (actor name) and Leonard rages on, their quest for possession of the prized egg precipitates a catastrophic chain reaction. A colossal boulder comes crashing down, sending both combatants tumbling to the depths of the castle’s stronghold, where the pigs have stockpiled an arsenal of explosives. With the egg now securely in hand, Leonard taunts Red, only to be expertly distracted and subsequently tripped up by a cleverly deployed box of TNT. As Red seizes the opportunity to reclaim the egg, he prepares for the impending doom that is the giant pot’s descent, using it as a makeshift shield against the explosive fallout. Meanwhile, Leonard meets his demise in a blaze of glory, unwittingly sacrificing himself in the process.

As the dust settles and the destruction becomes apparent, Mighty Eagle descends with the remaining eggs, prompting the fowl to reclaim their rightful possessions. Notably, however, the parents of the blue egg fail to retrieve theirs, leaving Red to uncover a stunning revelation: the three tiny hatchlings that emerge from the egg are none other than the long-lost offspring.

In the aftermath of the chaos, Red is hailed as a hero, but his selfless acts go largely unrecognized in favor of Mighty Eagle’s grand entrance. Undeterred, the birds rally around Red, rebuilding his home within the village and showering him with gratitude. The hatchlings serenade Red with an endearing melody, which stirs his very soul.

As Chuck and Bomb attempt to draw Red into their social circle, he initially declines, opting instead for a solitary life. However, just as they’re about to depart, Red reveals his jest, inviting them in for a night of merriment.

During the closing credits, the birds and pigs alike join forces in an impromptu dance party, a testament to the power of unity in the face of adversity. As the festivities reach their climax, Leonard’s parting words hint at a new scheme brewing in his devious mind. Meanwhile, the Blues steal away to the slingshot, launching themselves into a thrilling, ocean-spanning adventure that mirrors the cherished gameplay of yore.
