The content of the article or this section may have been discontinued or scrapped during development from the game, or other Angry Birds medias. |
Toons.TV was a multiplatform entertainment channel owned and operated by the Rovio Animation division of Rovio Entertainment. It was available in most of the Rovio apps, video-on-demand providers, smart TVs and other connected devices, and also as an app. As of December 2014, its content was viewed more than four billion times.
History[]
The channel released on March 16, 2013 along with Angry Birds Toons named just Toons with cinematic trailers and the Meet The Flock special being the only other stuff on it.
It was later renamed to Toons.TV starting with the release of Angry Birds Star Wars II due to the addition of other stuff.
The Toons.TV app soft-launched on May 14, 2014 in Finland on iOS.[1]
On October 1, 2015, the Toons.TV app released worldwide on iOS and Android[2] alongside Royal Heist which is the first episode of the third season of Angry Birds Toons.[3]
It has been reported that as of the Summer of 2017, the Toons.TV website has been shut down, along with its app, due to the prevalence of other video streaming services such as YouTube Kids. Any links to the service have been redirected to the Angry Birds' official YouTube channel,[4] although it continues to exist through past YouTube uploads promoting the service (which exist on both the Angry Birds' Official YouTube Channel) and the Toons inactive YouTube channel.[5]
