The First Official Trailer for the New Angry Birds Sequel

Here’s the first official trailer for the first proper sequel to Angry Birds, called Angry Birds: Space. They don’t look that angry, do they? More like they’re just…mildly upset. A little cranky. Guess that’s what billions of dollars does to an animal. It cheers them up.
