Rovio's popular bird slinging franchise Angry Birds has just about done it all from apps to books to merchandising to an Angry Birds 3D animated movie scheduled for 2016 and a Theme Park
set to open in China as well. But now the Finnish gaming studio is also
bringing an animated cartoon series based on the furious avian flock
titled Angry Birds Toons.
George Stahl reports for Digits stating that in an interview to The Wall Street Journal, Rovio CEO Mikael Hed said that the company is looking at a long term future for the franchise and that it is looking at content and not growing distribution channels for the animated series.
He further mentioned that he sees the Angry Birds cartoon series akin to timeless cartoon classics like the Pink Panther or Roadrunner that people can relate to and understand decades down the line. The animated series will feature short animation episodes. The project is still under development and the only details available are that it should launch this spring.
