Characters

Birds

  • Red is the red, round bird, and leader of the flock. He is bossy and poor at stress and anger management, and is perhaps the most dedicated on protecting the Eggs from being captured by the Pigs.[2]
  • Chuck is a yellow triangular-shaped bird who can move incredibly fast, to the point of even slowing down time. He is incredibly arrogant, narcissistic, dumb, and even possesses a hero complex at times, though he does have the flock's best interest at heart. He frequently causes problems for everyone around him due to his need to be in the spotlight.[3]
  • Bomb is a black bird with a "fuse" on top of his head and has the ability to cause explosions at will. Bomb is laid back and has an active imagination. He often plays an older brother or fatherly figure to the Blues.[4]
  • The Blues are a trio of blue birds who are mischievous and fun-loving, pulling pranks on both the Pigs and the Birds. They're the youngest in the flock. Their names are Jay, Jake, and Jim.[5]
  • Matilda is a white female bird with rosy cheeks that serves as the Mother Hen of the group. A stereotypical hippy bird, nature-loving and always seeking peaceful solutions to problems, but losing her temper when things don't go as planned. She enjoys cooking, fine performing arts as a saxophonist, and an opera singer; and gardening.[6]
  • Terence is a large red bird with a permanent grumpy appearance. He prefers to be silent and quiet, only growling for communicating, rarely makes eye contact, and never blinks. He normally moves around Weeping Angel style, disappearing and reappearing elsewhere only when other characters are not looking at him. His immense weight and stonewall personality are comically worked into the episode plots.[7]
  • Bubbles is a small, inflatable, orange bird that only makes appearance in the series' Halloween-themed episodes. Like The Blues, he is mischievous and fun-loving. He has a one-track mind on acquiring more and more candy.[8]

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, though a couple of episodes show that it can be removed.[9]
  • King Pig is a large pig with a crown on his head. He is gluttonous, lazy, stupid, and selfish. His ego is also very fragile, often behaving like a spoiled child when things don't go his way. A running gag in the show is that his palace is constantly being reduced to rubble by the various antics of both the birds and pigs.[10]
  • Foreman Pig (named Moustache Pig in Netflix and Hulu) is a pig with a bright ochrish-orange moustache and a vision-less eye who is in charge as a construction engineer. He occasionally leads the charge for stealing the birds eggs when Corporal Pig isn't doing so.[11]
  • Chef Pig is a pig with a chef hat and a French moustache who cooks for the King and frequently helps with egg-vandalism. 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 have dumb fun. As a group, they are a competent and reliable work force, having constructed an entire city for their kind, in stark contrast to the not-on-the-land lifestyle of the birds.[12]

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.[13] The series was made available worldwide on Angry Birds apps, selected video-on-demand services, and selected smart TVs.

Spin-offs

Piggy Tales

Main article: Piggy Tales

On 11 April 2014, Rovio released a series titled Piggy Tales on their multi-platform broadcasting channel, Toons.TV, with the first episode called "Trampoline".[23] The series show the minion pigs' life, with other exclusive characters to appear in various episodes, but no other pigs or birds were featured.

The first two seasons used clay animation to depict the pigs as they appeared in most Angry Birds games, with the latter two seasons shifting to computer-generated imagery and focusing on the pigs as they appeared as in The Angry Birds Movie.

Angry Birds Stella

Main article: Angry Birds Stella (TV series)

Based on the puzzle video game spin-off of the same name, the series is based around Stella, the pink bird, along with her friends Luca, Willow, Poppy, and Dahlia, as they work their way against Gale, the former friend of Stella, that currently is the queen of the pigs in Golden Island.[24]

Angry Birds Blues

Another spin-off series, titled Angry Birds Blues. The series shows The Blues' life, along with the Hatchlings, and is set between the events of The Angry Birds Movie and its sequel.[25] It premiered on 10 March 2017 on Toons.TV.[26]

Angry Birds BirLd Cup

In the summer of 2018, on the eve of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, Rovio announced a new series, titled Angry Birds BirLd Cup, which leverages a partnership with the UK soccer/association football team Everton FC, in which Premier League stars hold a special contest between two teams of children, representing Red and Chuck. The teams compete in special challenges to win the titular "Birld Cup", with the pigs keeping score.[27]

Angry Birds on the Run

In the fall of 2018, Rovio announced a new series, titled Angry Birds on the Run, which leverages a partnership with Blink Industries, to create the first live action Angry Birds series. The series shows that Red, Chuck, and Bomb fall out of a girl's phone, and they try to find the kid to get home before Rovio replaces them. The show was released on 17 November 2018 on YouTube. In the Spring 2020, Rovio Entertainment announced the second season for the series with the first episode released on 13 June 2020.[28]
