Angry Birds: Coming to a Television Near You
Posted in: Games, Miscellaneous Tech, mobile, Today's Chili, video gamesApparently we just can’t get enough Angry Birds. The phenomenon is still going strong: the game holds top honors in the iTunes and Android app stores, has spawned everything from plush toys to a board game, and now, according to a post at Mashable, Rovio is interested in turning the game into an animated television series.
How exactly the cute little physics game could turn into a television show with a coherent story that could run for multiple episodes without becoming a parody of itself is anyone’s guess, but if there’s anyone that could turn a simple premise into something addictive, it’s clearly Rovio.
Rovio CEO Mikael Hed said that broadcast media is a “big focus area” for him, but there’s no indication there are networks lining up to air an Angry Birds Show. Still, there’s clearly no stopping this franchise.
