Bill Hader voices Leonard, one of the leaders of the green pigs, and Maya Rudolph, Hannibal Buress, Kate McKinnon, Keegan-Michael Key, Tony Hale, and Peter Dinklage round out the voice cast. _Angry Birds_ will hit theaters in May 2016. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/23/angry-birds-teaser-trailer) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4046695/angry-birds-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4046695/angry-birds-trailer/"},"headline":"New Angry Birds Movie Trailer Finally Explains Why the Birds Are So Angry","datePublished":"2015-09-23T20:41:22.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:11:56.318Z","description":"“The question Rovio gets more than anything is ‘Why are these birds so angry?’”","url":"https://time.com/4046695/angry-birds-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte444fca5ebb1cb21/698864fecd1bba40126fd4ea/angry-birds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Devan Coggan / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte444fca5ebb1cb21/698864fecd1bba40126fd4ea/angry-birds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"CHINA-FINLAND-INTERNET-GAMES-PARK","caption":"CHINA-FINLAND-INTERNET-GAMES-PARK","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4046695/angry-birds-trailer/","name":"New Angry Birds Movie Trailer Finally Explains Why the Birds Are So Angry"}}]}] ```
