Sure, why not: Angry Birds getting its own show photo

You've all heard about Angry Birds by now. Well, I hope for your sake you aren't too sick of people mentioning the extremely popular mobile game.

According to C21Media, Rovio is working on an animated series. Possibly for TV, possibly for the Internet. In either case, the show is currently in production, or getting to that stage quickly. The company isn't exactly exploding with concrete details at the moment.

From what I'm told, Angry Birds is the best. And yeah, I brought along the evidence. I'll go ahead and wager that an Angry Birds show will not, however, be the best -- even if it reaches its full potential. Sorry, J Ross.

I can understand the board game, but the trading card game and now animated series is just milking it.

Yeah, we're just starting to reach full on milking territory now. Also please people remember, Rovio published the game on iPhone, but the game was developed and self-published everywhere else by Chillingo, who own the licence. So surely Rovio taking this forward would be a little sketchy right?

This is really, really sad. Nevermind that this game is a ripoff of Crush the Castle to begin with + an added skin of some stupid birds, this is going way too far with it.

When will people realise that the game isn't even that damn good?

Agreed that it's a shame NO ONE EVER mentions Crush The Castle even though it came first and is a much better game. I feel bad for Donut Games.

This game isn't even that good why do they insist on milking it to death, there can only be so much of a good thing and this is pushing it.

I just played the light version of Angry Birds and was very unimpressed. Crush the Castle (2 I think) is way better.

Just when my faith in the collective intellect of humanity is restored, something like this happens. *facepalm*

I must be the only one in the world who likes Angry Birds. I feel kinda special.

I'm not really big on the game itself, but I could see me sitting down and enjoying a short show of Angry Birds based on their silly story. They did an exceptional job with some of the promotional videos shot a while ago and if they can maintain that same humor, it might be worth checking out.

On the other hand, it could be disastrous! Also slightly entertaining!

"Mad Birds, whoo-hoo

Life is like a catapult,

Red birds, slingshots, gree-een pigs
It's a, bird gig

Might bomb a piglet,
to make them leave it

Mad Birds, whoo-hoo"

Jesus, a show?! The games plot was absolutely minimal. Fuck, when will the Angry Birds boner finally go soft?

I really hope they go the 80's video-game show route and make all the characters look terrible and have unfitting voice actors.

I've never played/heard of Crush the Castle people have mentioned. I'll have to take a look at it.

I do enjoy Angry Birds, though the novelty is wearing off now. I began to realize that a lot of the levels expect you to do so sort of weird Rube Goldberg machine that very rarely works (hit TNT box, set off boulders that hit other TNT boxes, which send other boulders into birds). I gave up on attempting to get these levels "right" and usually just launch and restart until I clear the board (and end up with 1 star).

I bought the Eagle pack add-on for 99 cents that you can use every hour. Now I just play the game once and hour, use the eagle, crush the level then rinse and repeat...best...game...ever.

Internet. I have to believe there's at least one TV exec who remembers the Geico Cavemen sitcom.

I'll admit that I enjoy angry birds but a cartoon is just dumb.... unless they just go "gwah" and crash into buildings for a half hour... then I will watch it
