Third Angry Birds film trailer leans on potty jokes as Red becomes a parent

The first trailer for The Angry Birds Movie 3 has arrived, nearly a decade after the sequel, and it finds its comedy in diaper changes and bathroom humor. The film centers on Red navigating parenthood, dealing with both a teenager's angst and a baby's messes, according to Polygon.

"The new trailer leans heavily into gross-out humor, specifically pee jokes, as a central gag."

The franchise's latest installment uses bodily functions as its primary comedic engine, a choice Polygon noted distinguishes the film from lighter family fare. The A.V. Club reported that the trailer contrasts the Angry Birds baby with other pop-culture infants like Baby Yoda or Mini Kong, but in a far less endearing way.

The A.V. Club's coverage adopted a sarcastic tone, questioning the franchise's continued relevance while acknowledging the trailer's unapologetic embrace of absurdity. The nearly ten-year gap between sequels suggests the studio is betting on nostalgia and a new generation of young viewers to keep the brand alive.
