The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a 2019 animated comedy film based on the Angry Birds video game series. It is the second installment in the Angry Birds film series, and was directed by Thurop Van Orman from a screenplay by Peter Ackerman, Eyal Podell and Jonathon E. Stewart. It is an international co-production between Finland and the United States. Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Bill Hader, and Peter Dinklage reprise their voice roles from the first film, with newcomers Leslie Jones, Rachel Bloom, Awkwafina, Sterling K. Brown, and Eugenio Derbez joining the ensemble voice cast. In the film, the birds are forced to team up with the pigs to stop Eagle Island's leader from destroying both of their Islands.

Heitor Pereira returned to compose the film's score, with artists such as Kesha and Luke Combs contributing tracks for the film. It also features classical pop songs from the 1960s to 2000s, as in the first film.

The Angry Birds Movie 2 was theatrically released in Finland on August 7, 2019, and in the United States on August 14. While it was not as financially successful as its predecessor, grossing $152.8 million on a $65 million budget, the film received generally positive reviews from critics, who considered it an improvement over its predecessor. A further sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 3, is set for release in 2027.
