Rovio to unleash 52 short Angry Birds animated films

by Gavril Mankoo

Rovio seems pretty unsatisfied with its success and victories in the mobile phone gaming industry, and after successfully having dabbled in merchandising, the makers of the bestselling and continually-downloaded Angry Birds game is now looking to air a series of 52 shortform animations of the franchise soon. Also, plans for a movie have been set to be executed by 2014. A weekly animated series will soon show up however, with each episode lasting about two-and-a-half to three minutes. And if you’d ask us, this seems to be a pretty neat way to enable fans to have a second look at what those kamikaze birds really have in mind, understanding their anger and empathizing with them.
