What's the Story?
ANGRY BIRDS TOONS is a series of animated shorts featuring the central characters from the Angry Birds mobile games. The stories introduce the birds and the pigs and provide a back story for their rivalry that's the premise for the games. Some focus solely on the pigs or the birds, exploring their interspecies relationships, which are often fraught with power struggles and mishaps as well.
Is It Any Good?
Fans of Angry Birds will delight in this gem of a series that doesn't overextend itself beyond the limits of the games themselves. The animation and scenery stays true to what you see on Angry Birds apps, and, as in the games, the characters communicate only with grunts and other noises. The result is altogether fun, providing tiny glimpses into the characters and their relationships but leaving enough curiosity that you want to come back for more.
Of course, given that most of the exchanges between the birds and the pigs are contentious in nature, there's natural concern in sharing it with little kids. Rest assured that the content errs on the side of caution rather than reality (pigs plummet from a cliff and walk away unscathed, for instance), and that the worst you'll see is an occasional bruise or scrape. Think of it this way: If your kids aren't bothered by what they see when they play Angry Birds, then nothing in Angry Birds Toons will upset them, either.
