Angry? Absolutely not. Quite the opposite.

Red, the rather animated character in the "Angry Birds" movie voiced by Jason Sudeikis, was named Honorary Ambassador for Green on the International Day of Happiness today at the United Nations. (See our interview with Sudeikis above).

It's all part of the #AngryBirdsHappyPlanetcampaign to help the world body hype the International Day of Happiness, celebrated on March 20.

So how does one measure happiness, you might wonder? By applying a "more inclusive, equitable, balanced and sustainable approach to growth and development," per the U.N. Hey, we'll take it.

Sudeikis, Josh Gad and Maya Rudolph were at the fete. Watch the video with Sudeikis above and you'll see why he's one of our favorites -- same with his better half, Olivia Wilde.
