There are several things wrong with this trailer. The first seems to be the re-designs, with me simply pointing out that there was no reason for this. The second is the movies plot, being that of a prequel to the games it seems, with a bunch of unnecessary bird characters, the pigs only now just showing up (with the main pig shown being someone who hasn't been in the games, or if he has then the redesign destroyed it) and what is their main plot? That three birds have issues and they get counselling for it? Way to grab the audience into that thrilling adventure.
Speaking of the characters, only three birds are named for this and not a single named pig is shown. But the worse part of this for me is the voices. Must every voice acting roll in movies have to be done by actors. I mean, you do know we have a large variety of actual voice actors who would be more then happy to work on this. And while I bitch about the Smurfs not sounding like the Smurfs, taking characters who don't talk and giving them not only words to say, but confusing personalities that say it. If anything, Red feels the most out of place in this trailer and he's technically the main character.
This is the problem with taking a nostalgic or franchised product and making it into a modern movie, no one seems to get the product and it fails. Game base movies don't work cause no one understands the product or sticks to the lore. In this case we have two series of their animated show, one series featuring Stella and friends and a show dedicated to the pigs. Yet despite all these shows, this movie trailer shows none of those features that made the shows good. Really beginning to loose faith not only in the movie industry, but in products and animation general.
