Year of the Dragon (Traditional Chinese: 龍的一年, Simplified Chinese: 龙的一年, Pinyin: Lóng de yī nián) is the tenth episode of Angry Birds Seasons, celebrating Chinese New Year and commemorating the fifth Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon. This episode was announced in Rovio's YouTube video "Happy New Year from the Angry Birds" on 30 December 2011, seen below. Rovio's teaser trailer states that the update happened January 20, but it landed on the 19th in most areas of the world. In the episode's cinematic trailer, the birds are puppets being operated by the pigs below.

On January 15, 2012, it was announced that Year of the Dragon was pushed on this date from January 20 to January 19.

Bubbles appears for the third consecutive episode of Seasons and its fourth appearance overall (the Orange Bird also appears in Birdday Party in the original Angry Birds game). It also debuts Bubbles' first appearance in a Chinese holiday-based episode in Seasons.

An animated short for this episode debuted on January 21, 2012. It was the second to premiere first on television (on Nickelodeon, in this case) rather than online. The Blues are also the only birds to appear in the animation.


Storyline[]

The following is from The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, as told by the Mighty Eagle:

DRAGON ATTACK
To celebrate Chinese New Year, King Pig commissioned a new puppet theatre. The first play portrayed Smooth Cheeks as the hero and the Flock as a bunch of yellow-bellied cowards. Red wasn't having that and sent in something that looked like a dragon. At first the idiotic King thought my scaly buddy was nothing more than a special effect. Ha! He was soon squealing in fear . . .

New Features[]

  • In the episode, the Mighty Eagle is replaced by the Mighty Dragon, and the Sardines can is replaced by a Red Koi Fish. Once you use the Mighty Dragon on a level you didn't beat yet, you cannot use him for an hour unless you clear the level that you used Mighty Dragon on.
  • This episode introduces red wood and golden blocks which are hard just like stone blocks.
  • This episode introduces new hazards named the rockets or fireworks that charges when a bird hits them they will move in random locations and cause harm to blocks pigs etc.
  • This episode introduces new clothes for the pigs like conical hat, lamps etc.
  • Chinese New Year Objects.
