Originally based on the mobile video game of the same name the Angry Birds have gone beyond that medium now into movies, and the second film has been given a U age rating by the BBFC.
The story of a group of birds that have been angered by the pigs and seek revenge was one of the original addiction games that came out for smart phone platforms.
The original movie was a smash hit back in 2016, the new movie puts the birds and pigs on the same team to fight a bigger enemy.
The BBFC's granting of a U age ratig is for very mild bad language, rude humour, threat and the film has a runtime of 97 minutes (1 hour and 37 minutes) and is released on 2nd August 2019.
