Characters

Matilda, an artistic bird characterized by her ability to shoot fiery eggs from her butt and fly through structures is among the most beloved characters from Angry Birds. Stella leads their flock as leader while Bomb can explode multiple directions; both were voiced by Josh Gad, known for Frozen and The Angry Birds Movie respectively.
Peter Dinklage voices Mighty Eagle, an unfortunate bald eagle that doesn’t live up to his name.

Soundtrack
Smartphone users were previously more focused on games like Clash of Clans and Candy Crush; but Angry Birds still held enough allure for smartphone users to inspire an animated movie, merchandise, and a soundtrack that resonates with fans everywhere.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 features an enjoyable, action-packed collection of songs meant to re-energize players as they aim at launching different-powered birds into the headquarters of egg-snatching pigs. While their genre and era may differ, all are intended to inspire players as they attempt to knock out those nasty egg thieves! All songs feature punchy melodies filled with positive energy.
What makes this soundtrack remarkable is the way its filmic stylings add an air of manic conviction to each song, creating an impression that the producers were determined to create music with as much force and overstatement as possible. While this may become irritating at times (particularly when slapstick humor doesn’t work as it should), at least there’s an undeniable sense of purpose behind its audio in this movie.
The Angry Birds Movie 2 offers some impressive voice acting from Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon Sean Penn Tony Hale and Keegan-Michael Key – with unforgettable performances by Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Maya Rudolph Kate McKinnon Sean Penn Tony Hale and Keegan-Michael Key among many others.
