The Angry Birds Movie 3 has joined the Kelly Clarkson feud. The film's official X account posted a parody poster that casts Chuck as Molly, the mechanical bird at the center of Clarkson's dispute with a Brooklyn store, according to ComingSoon and Creative Bloq. The film opens in theaters on December 23.
The poster jokes that you can see Chuck for the price of a movie ticket, a dig at the bird's price tag. Its tagline reads “What Doesn't Kill You Makes You…Angry,” according to ComingSoon. Creative Bloq dates the embedded post to October 15 and says the animated version shows Chuck sitting back while others get angry.
The feud began on Saturday, October 10, when Clarkson posted on X that staff at Art of Play, a Brooklyn Heights shop, treated her as if she could not afford an item and steered her to cheaper alternatives, according to Forbes. The store said the bird, Molly, is permanently attached to the wall for its magic shows and was never for sale. Clarkson replied that a price tag was near the bird and that an employee quoted her $15,000.
On Monday, October 12, the store said it had offered her a nearly identical bird by Seattle artist Bliss Kolb for $15,000, plus a different mechanical bird for $2,000, per Forbes. It said it had reached out to Clarkson privately. Forbes reports her two posts have drawn about 50 million views.
Directed by John Rice from a screenplay by Thurop Van Orman, the film has a 96-minute runtime, according to ComingSoon. Jason Sudeikis returns as Red, with Josh Gad as Chuck, Rachel Bloom as Silver and Danny McBride as Bomb. New voices include Emma Myers, Walker Scobell, Tim Robinson and Psalm West, and MrBeast, Keke Palmer, Lily James and Nikki Glaser are among those in undisclosed roles. Animation Magazine says the story follows Red “surviving fatherhood while saving the world.”
Paramount released the trailer on June 29. The release was moved up from January 29, 2027 to December 23, 2026, according to Wikipedia.
