Who composed the score for The Angry Birds Movie?

Heitor Pereira composed the score for The Angry Birds Movie.

Pereira was announced as the film’s composer in 2015, ahead of the movie’s 2016 release. His score was designed to give the animated world its own musical identity, using instruments and sounds that echoed the birds’ unusual setting and personalities.

For the score, Pereira used ukuleles, electric guitars, analogue synthesizers, and processed recordings of bird-related sounds. He recorded effects such as wing flaps, feathers moving, woodpecker pecks, and bird calls, then edited them into percussive musical material and character themes.

The film also had a separate popular-song soundtrack, which is why this question can cause confusion. The song album included tracks by various artists, while Pereira’s original score accompanied the action and dialogue. The score album was released on May 13, 2016, shortly after the movie opened in theaters.
