The likes of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride and Peter Dinklage have given the voiceover in the animated film adaptation of popular game "Angry Birds".

"Horrible Bosses" fame actor Sudeikis will lead the cast as Red, a bird with a temper problem, accompanied with Gad as speedy Chuck, and McBride as the volatile Bomb. 
 
"Game of Thrones" actor Dinklage will bring the character of legendary Mighty Eagle alive on screen. And on the pork side will be actor Hader. 
 
Actress Rudolph will play Matilda.
 
Co-directed by Fergal Reilly and Clay Kaytis and co-produced by John Cohen and Catherine Winder, the film will debut in US July 1, 2016. 
 
"I'm extremely proud of the cast. Not only do we have Jason, Josh, Danny, Bill, Maya and Peter bringing these characters to life, but they're surrounded by an all-star ensemble of emerging comedic talent - these are some of the funniest people out there today, and we're thrilled to have them all on board," Cohen said in a statement. 
 
The film will be distributed globally by Sony Pictures.
