The Angry Birds Movie 2 is a 2019 animated comedy film based on Rovio Entertainment's Angry Birds video game series, produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, and Rovio Entertainment, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. The sequel to The Angry Birds Movie (2016), the film was directed by Thurop Van Orman (in his directorial debut) and co-directed by John Rice 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. It was not as financially successful as its predecessor, grossing $152.8 million on a $65 million budget. It received mixed reviews from critics, who nevertheless considered it an improvement over its predecessor. A sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 3, is in production.
