Angry Birds Toons is a Finnish comedy cartoon series based on the Angry Birds franchise. Its first episode premiered on March 16-17, 2013 with its last airing on May 16, 2016, overall running for over three years.
The series was originally exclusively available via Toons.TV and on DVD, before later airing on television networks in select countries as well as every episode being uploaded to the official Angry Birds YouTube channel.[5][6][7]
Specials
On December 17, 2011, Nickelodeon aired a Christmas special titled Angry Birds: Wreck The Halls,[8] with Angry Birds Space, an animated prequel to the video game of the same name also airing in March 2012.[9]
Development
In April 2012, Rovio had announced a TV series based on the Angry Birds video games scheduled for release in quarter 4 of 2012.[10] They planned to produce 52 short (sub-3 minute) episodes.[11] The series was produced by Finnish animation studio Kombo Studios, which Rovio bought in June 2011.[12] The series was planned to have 52 episodes, with Nick Dorra, the head of animation at Rovio, said that, "I am happy to say we are going to roll out a weekly animation series this year of short format content."[13] The 1st season aired on various Angry Birds apps on March 16 and 17, 2013. They also started to release the series on DVD and Blu-Ray, starting with Season 1 Volume 1 in December 2013. In 2014, Rovio announced that Toons would have a 2nd season for the show on October 19 with 26 episodes, not like the 1st. Later in 2015, they announced a 3rd season from the series on October 1.[14] The series has not been renewed for a 4th season and it's pretty unlikely it will have a 4th season. On January 1st, 2016, “Angry Birds Toons” was added to Netflix, but a year later the series got removed, but later got added back a few months later where the episodes would be featured in compilations. These were available to stream until 2021.[citation needed]
Since Toons.TV's shutdown in 2017, most of the Angry Birds Toons episodes have been uploaded to the Angry Birds YouTube channel. On September 13, 2022, it has been marketed and hyped by the official Angry Birds YouTube channel that 9 "unreleased episodes" of the series from Season 3 are yet to be unveiled. The episodes are scheduled for release on YouTube on September 24, 2022.[15]
Synopsis
Every episode of Angry Birds Toons takes place on Piggy Island and revolves around the daily lives and mishaps of the birds and the pigs. Each episode runs for almost 3 minutes, with all of them having no dialogue; the characters all speak in their own gibberish language. Each episode tells a comedic story that often contains slapstick, character conflicts and subtle morals.
Stories starring the Angry Birds commonly feature the eggs being stolen by the pigs, with the birds always triumphing over them in different ways. On the other hand, stories starring the pigs often follow a goal of trying to please King Pig, steal the eggs, or simply overcome a miscellaneous conflict or situation in Pig City.

Trivia
- Hal is the only member of the flock who debuted in Angry Birds to not appear in the show during its run.
- While Stella does not appear in the show, she shows up in key art for the show, along with the "Meet the Flock" trailer, which features her in the opening and through clips from Meet the Pink Bird.
- Bubbles only appears in Halloween-themed episodes that occur once per season, with those being "Night Of The Living Pork", "Sweets of Doom", and "Porcula". Due to this, he never got to interact with the other birds.
- He is also the only bird that appears in the Halloween episodes.
- In Twitter art, Bomb has a grey spot atop his head similar to how he originally had a white spot atop his head. This was later removed.[citation needed]
- Most episodes titles are a puns, references, and homages to other media.
- Despite the Angry Birds logo getting a redesign in 2015, the logo for Angry Birds Toons still used the 2010 logo. The YouTube thumbnails for the episodes use the 2015 logo.
- Most classic-themed Angry Birds media since 2013 use the characters' designs and sounds from the show.
- The characters in the series seem to speak gibberish, but some of the words they say have meanings. For example, "pe-coo" means "pig", "ey-nah" means "egg".[16]
