Digital Launch for Angry Birds Spin-Off Series

ESPOO: Piggy Tales: Third Act, the latest season of Rovio Animation’s online series based on characters from the Angry Birds game, is slated to debut exclusively on the ToonsTV app.

The show’s first all-new episode is out today on the app, available for iOS and Android devices. The chapter will then premiere June 5 on the ToonsTV channel in Angry Birds games and the ToonsTV YouTube channel. The theater-themed season features 30 one-minute episodes, with new installments airing weekly through the season finale later in the year.

The show’s pig characters were featured in the recently released feature film The Angry Birds Movie.

“Piggy Tales is a highly popular series among our unique animated shorts, airing on the ToonsTV, DVD and syndicated channels,” said Tommy Korpinen, the president of Rovio Animation. “Following the massive success of The Angry Birds Movie, we’re continuing to focus on bringing creative storytelling and humorous animated content to fans on the small screen with ToonsTV.”
