‘ANGRY BIRDS’ ANIMATED SERIES ON THE WAY?

According to Deadline.com, Rovio(the creators of the Angry Birds suite of games) is debuting a new animated series next fall. The episodes are said to be between 2-4 minutes long but there is no word yet as to which network(if any) will be debuting the series.

My question is…do people still play Angry Birds? I’ll be honest I did see someone wearing an Angry Birds hat the other day outside so I guess some people do. Also, I am curious to see what the target audience is here. Think about it, Angry Birds was a mobile game to start with that was available on both Android and iOS devices…if the target audience is between the ages of 6-11 would THEY be the ones playing the the popular mobile game while watching the series? How many kids in the 6-11 age range have iPhones or Droids?

From 1997 to 2006 there was a show on Nick called Angry Beavers and although it was on during the day it drew comparisons to Ren & Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life. Why do I bring this up?  Not sure, but I do know that show is already better than this lame attempt to cash in on the Angry Birds craze. You want some angry animals? Leave it to Beavers…
