Angry Birds Stella, Piggy Tales

Angry Birds Toons is a Finnish CGI animated TV series based on Rovio's video game franchise of the same name. This animated series follows the adventures of the birds as they guard their eggs against the piggies who want to steal them for their king to eat, as well as adventures from within each group. Episodes have been released weekly.

There was an introductory episode called "Meet the Flock" in March 2013, which presented the names of the birds.[2] The green pigs are identified by their role such as Corporal Pig, King Pig, or Chef Pig, with Minion Pig allocated to unnamed pigs. Dialogue is generally limited to vocalizations and sound effects similar to the game.

As of September 2013, Angry Birds Toons episodes have been viewed more than one billion times.[3] By July 2014, Angry Birds Toons episodes had been viewed over three billion times and by December 2014, episodes had been viewed four billion times.[4]

Characters

Birds

  • Red is the leader of the flock. He is usually very bossy and is perhaps the most dedicated on protecting the Eggs from being captured by the Pigs.[5]
  • Chuck is a yellow triangular-shaped bird who can move incredibly fast, to the point of even slowing down time. He is incredibly arrogant and narcissistic, and often implied to be dumb, though he does have the flock's best interest at heart.[6][7] He enjoys practicing martial arts.
  • Bomb is a black bird with a "fuse" on top of his head who has the ability to explode, albeit without actually disappearing, at will. Bomb is usually laid back yet still having the will to defend the Eggs. He is somewhat of a glutton, as he has a much greater appetite than the other birds.[8][9]
  • The Blues are a trio of blue birds who are mischievous and fun-loving, pulling pranks on both the Pigs and the Birds. Their names are Jim, Jake, and Jay.[10]
  • Matilda is a white female bird with rosy cheeks that serves as the Mother Hen of the group. She loves nature and always seeks peaceful solutions to problems, but frequently loses her temper when things don't go as planned. She enjoys cooking and gardening, and frequently depicted as a stereotypical hippie.[11][12]
  • Terence is a large red bird with a permanent grumpy appearance. He prefers to be silent, only growling to communicate, and rarely making eye contact (also doesn't blink). He normally moves around Weeping Angel style, as he disappears and reappears elsewhere only when other characters aren't looking at him.[13][14]
  • Bubbles is an orange bird that only makes appearance in the series' Halloween-themed episodes. Like The Blues, he is mischievous and fun-loving. He especially loves candy.[15]

Pigs

  • Corporal Pig is a militaristic pig who wears a helmet with an ace of spades playing card. He reveres King Pig and likes to bully others and order the minion pigs around. According to his Angry Birds profile, he had accidentally glued his tin helmet to his scalp.[16]
  • King Pig is a large pig with a crown on his head. He is gluttonous, lazy, and selfish. His ego is also very fragile, often behaving like a spoiled child when things don't go his way.[17]
  • Foreman Pig is a pig with a bright orange mustache who is in charge of the construction projects.[18]
  • Chef Pig is a pig with a chef hat and French moustache who cooks for the King and frequently helps with egg stealing. He is actually incredibly devious, and will act against even the other pigs, including the king, if it suits him.
  • Minion Pigs are the pigs who dutifully serve the King, although they would prefer to just roll around in the mud.[19]

Production

Rovio announced a TV series based on the Angry Birds video game series of 52 short episodes. The series was produced by Finnish animation studio Kombo, which Rovio bought in June 2011. "I am happy to say we are going to roll out a weekly animation series this year of short format content," said Nick Dorra, head of animation at Rovio.[20] The series was made available worldwide on Angry Birds apps, selected video-on-demand services, and selected smart TVs.
