Now, if you’re already drawing conclusions about what the series will be all about, i.e. slingshots, angry birds, pigs, some more slingshots; then, you will be surprised! If the makers are to be believed then the weekly TV series will not be so much about the entire action in the game, but, will go deeper into the feelings of the birds and will try to analyse why are the birds always angry? Surprises just don’t end here. Reportedly, a full-length, Angry Birds movie is in the works, too and should near completion by 2015. Rovio, the makers of the game believe that they have just begun with the setting up of an entertainment brand, called Angry Birds and they the make it a permanent part of the pop culture.
