So who hasn’t heard of Angry Birds? I am pretty sure my son has played every single Angry Bird game known to man! I will have to admit I kind of like the game too! Well there will soon be an Angry Bird movie (much to my son’s delight)!
Well guess what?? Red, the starring animated character voiced by US star Jason Sudeikis in the upcoming “The Angry Birds Movie,” was named Honorary Ambassador for Green on the International Day of Happiness today at the United Nations.
NEW YORK, NY – MARCH 18: (L-R) UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, ‘Red’, Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Maya Rudolph attend the United Nations Ceremony, Presentation and Photo Call naming Red, from the “ANGRY BIRDS movie, Honorary Ambassador for the International Day of Happiness, to be observed around the world on March 20th, at United Nations on March 18, 2016 in New York City.
So what is “International Day of Happiness”?
The appointment of Red is part of the #AngryBirdsHappyPlanet campaign to help the world body promote the International Day of Happiness, which is observed on March 20 each year, and encourage people to take action against climate change and its impacts.
The International Day of Happiness recognizes that Gross Domestic Product alone cannot measure the wealth and well-being of a country’s population and a more inclusive, equitable, balanced and sustainable approach to growth and development is key to being happy.
The presentation included the movie’s US stars Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Maya Rudolph as well as producers John Cohen and Catherine Winder, who asked the attendees for their support to make the Angry Birds happy by doing their part to take action against climate change. They presented the “Help Red Go Green” materials including public service announcements created to support the campaign. By participating in the #AngryBirdsHappyPlanet campaign, individuals can make the Angry Birds happy and “Help Red Go Green” by posting photos and messages to show how they are protecting our planet by recycling, taking public transportation and conserving water, for example.
Synopsis
In the 3D animated comedy, The Angry Birds Movie, we’ll finally find out why the birds are so angry.
The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by happy, flightless birds – or almost entirely. In this paradise, Red (Jason Sudeikis, We’re the Millers, Horrible Bosses), a bird with a temper problem, speedy Chuck (Josh Gad in his first animated role since Frozen), and the volatile Bomb (Danny McBride, This is the End, Eastbound and Down) have always been outsiders. But when the island is visited by mysterious green piggies, it’s up to these unlikely outcasts to figure out what the pigs are up to.
In Theaters May 2016
