The movie follows a cartoon that follows a macaw named Blu, who leaves his native Minnesota for Rio when he meets Jewel, the bird of his dreams. Rovio has already posted trailer, which is a little less than a minute and a half long, on viedo sharing site, Youtube. It shows birds being captured in their home turf and flown via helicopter to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. They are taken to a dark cave, where a white macaw reveals that someone is offering $100,000 for the birds.

The birds manage to escape but find out that there are a lot of other birds in the cage and the struggle between the birds and macaws begins. Rovio CEO Mikael Hed said, "We have been looking at that for quite a while, and that is definitely one of my personal big focus areas right now - to work on broadcast content for 'Angry Birds."
