Angry Birds is a Finnish action, puzzle, and strategy based media franchise created by Rovio Entertainment, and owned by Sega. The game series focuses on the titular flock of colorful angry birds who try to save their eggs from green-colored pigs. Inspired by the game Crush the Castle,[1] the original game has been praised for its successful combination of fun gameplay, comical style, and low price. Its popularity led to many spin-offs; versions of Angry Birds created for PCs and video game consoles, a market for merchandise featuring its characters, Angry Birds Toons (2013–2016), a televised animated series, and two films; The Angry Birds Movie (2016) and its sequel The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), with a third film currently in production. By January 2014, there had been over 2 billion downloads across all platforms, including both regular and special editions.[2][3]

By July 2015, the series' games had been downloaded more than 3 billion times collectively,[4] making it the most downloaded freemium game series of all time. The original Angry Birds has been called "One of the most mainstream games out right now,"[5] "One of the great runaway hits of 2010",[6] and "The largest mobile app success the world has seen so far".[7] The first main-series video game sequel, Angry Birds 2, was released on 30 July 2015.

The first game in the series was initially released on 11 December 2009 for iOS.[8] At the time, the 2009 swine flu epidemic was in the news, so the staff decided to use pigs as the enemies of the Angry Birds.[9] The company released ports of the game to other touchscreen smartphone operating systems, including Android. In early 2019, all remaining Angry Birds games released before October 2014 (with the exception of Friends) were discontinued and removed from app stores, though Bad Piggies was added back in early 2020. Rovio has declined to explain their reasoning behind the decision apart from a brief tweet and support response, both giving different answers.[10] However, in June 2021, by popular demand of the fans, Rovio announced that the classic games will be available on the stores again sometime in the future,[11] starting with a recreated version of the original Angry Birds game known as Rovio Classics: Angry Birds released on mobile platforms on 31 March 2022.[12]

In August 2023, Sega acquired Rovio Entertainment. The deal was closed on 17 August 2023, rendering Sega the current owner of the Angry Birds brand alongside their subsidiary Rovio.

Characters

Birds

[edit]

Main flock

[edit]
  • Red (formerly known as Red Bird, full name Red J. Bird) is the main protagonist of the series. He is a temperamental red desert cardinal[47] and the leader of the Angry Birds flock. He was the first bird introduced in the original Angry Birds game. Red is in charge of looking after the birds' nest of eggs, and coming up with plans to attack the pigs. He is the most responsible and mature in the flock, but is also known for having severe anger issues. Despite this, he has a soft side that only shows when he is with his friends or comforting the eggs. Red is very overprotective, and would risk his life to make sure the eggs are safe and sound.
  • Jay, Jake and Jim (nicknamed The Blues and formerly known as the Blue Birds) are blue triplets who hatched from the same egg. They are some of the youngest and smallest in the flock, and share the same mischievous and cheeky thoughts and views. They often get into trouble due to this, but they enjoy putting their skills to good use against the pigs.
  • Chuck (formerly known as Yellow Bird) is a yellow triangular bird who was born with the ability to run at the speed of sound. Chuck is cocky and self-loving, but also very energetic. He spends a lot of his spare time playing games and hanging out with his closest friends. He is also very loyal and prioritizes the eggs' safety more than anything.
  • Bomb (formerly known as Black Bird or Bomb Bird) is a large, black bird diagnosed with a heightened form of intermittent explosive disorder that causes him to detonate upon having sudden emotional reactions such as anger and fear.[48] This makes Bomb the most powerful in the flock, although he does not brag about it, as he is often calm and reserved until something goes wrong. He is close friends with almost every bird in the flock, and is loyal to all of them.
  • Matilda (formerly known as White Bird) is a cream white hen[49] and the mother figure of the flock. She's the least angry in the flock and the most peaceful. Matilda loves animals, nature, peace, and her favourite hobby is gardening. However, she has been prone to having bursts of anger herself in the past. Matilda has tried repeatedly to educate the birds in controlling their anger, but it has never worked out. Despite this, she is very lovable and kind-hearted. Her special ability is laying eggs that explode upon impact.
  • Hal (formerly known as Green Bird or Boomerang Bird) is a green, long-beaked bird who is considered the black sheep of the flock. He doesn't get angry often and doesn't like to get involved with the fight against the pigs unless it really matters to him. Because of his long beak, Hal has the ability to act like a boomerang, which he often uses as an attack.
  • Terence (formerly known as Big Brother Bird) is a large red bird who is the biggest in the flock. He is a silent-but-deadly brute that hardly expresses any sort of emotion or movement, as he only speaks in growls. Terence is easily the most destructive bird, making him the most threatening to the pigs and even some of the birds.
  • Bubbles (formerly known as Orange Bird) is an orange bird and the youngest and smallest in the entire flock. He is obsessed with eating candy and sweets non-stop and loves Halloween. His special ability is inflating his body to grow to a gigantic size, flattening anything or anyone in his path.
  • Stella (formerly known as Pink Bird) is a pink bird who is often very adventurous and energetic. She loves blowing bubbles, doing parkour, and hanging out with her best friends. Her homeland is Golden Island, the location of her starring game Angry Birds Stella. She has a short temper similar to Red but is able to control it and use it to her advantage.
  • Silver is a silver bird introduced in Angry Birds 2. When the pigs successfully stole an egg, it soon hatched into Silver. She was raised by the pigs before eventually joining the flock. Silver can perform somersaults to wipe out towers and tall structures built by the pigs.
  • Melody is a beige-coloured bird introduced in a post-launch update to Angry Birds 2.[50] She grew up surrounded by music, giving her a strong interest and love for it. She doesn't easily get angry, but expresses herself through song when she is. When Melody sings at the top of her lungs, she inhales everything in front of her, which she can shoot out like bullets as an attack.

Stella's flock

[edit]
  • Poppy is an energetic yellow bird introduced in Angry Birds Stella. Her favourite hobbies are playing practical jokes and her drums, especially when playing music with her friends.
  • Willow is an introverted blue bird who appears in Angry Birds Stella. She wears an orange striped knit cap and loves to paint and create art. Willow also makes a cameo appearance in The Angry Birds Movie, where she was voiced by Charli XCX.
  • Dahlia is a tan-coloured bird who appears in Angry Birds Stella. She is a scientist, and is often in her laboratory performing experiments.
  • Luca is a light blue bird and the only male member of Stella's flock. He is also the youngest, meaning he tends to rebel against Stella's rules.
  • Gale is a bird and the main antagonist of Angry Birds Stella. Gale is a former friend of Stella, but betrayed her and the others when she discovered a crown and became the leader of a large army of pigs. In the Angry Birds Stella television series, her main goal was finding the Golden Egg with her Minion Pigs.

Eagles

[edit]
  • Mighty Eagle is a gigantic white and brown bald eagle[citation needed] who lives in a cave in the tallest mountain on Bird Island (a cave in Piggy Island in the classic games). He is considered a mythical legend by the flock because he is the only bird who can fly. He likes to be isolated, which is why he refuses to join the flock.
  • Zeta is a purple eagle who appears as a main antagonist in The Angry Birds Movie 2 and Angry Birds Reloaded. She is the leader of Eagle Island, and her motive is destroying Bird Island and Piggy Island so she and her team of eagles can turn them into her own personal paradise. Zeta has a high level of intelligence, being described by her ex-fiancée, Mighty Eagle, as "the smartest girl in school".

Other

[edit]
  • Tony is Terence's cousin who lives in Finland. He is a sky blue-colored bird who is playable in Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Reloaded. Tony enjoys spending time with his cousin, fishing and watching the Northern Lights.
  • Ice Bird is a cyan ice cube-like extraterrestrial bird from outer space who made a one-time appearance in Angry Birds Space before reappearing in Angry Birds Reloaded several years later. He met the flock when he came down to the Angry Birds' home planet looking for his Eggsteroid which, alongside the flock's eggs, was stolen by the pigs.[51] Ice Bird is very mysterious and reserved, but has the ability to turn anything within his radius into cold solid ice.
  • Jo is a turquoise and black bird who was introduced to celebrate LGBT Pride Month 2023. A non-binary character who uses they/them pronouns, they enjoy dancing, and hopes to help make the world a better place to live in despite being shy. Jo has yet to make an appearance as a playable character, but they were featured in a limited-time event in Angry Birds 2, temporarily replacing the rubber ducks in the game's "Golden Duck" spell.[52][non-primary source needed]
  • Ruby (formerly known as Girl Bird or Female Red Bird) is a female cardinal who first appears in the "Hogs and Kisses" episode from Angry Birds Seasons as Red's unnamed love interest.[53] In June 2024, a fan incarnation and redesign of the character, portraying her as Red's younger sister, was officially recognized by Rovio, appearing as a "Helper Bird" in Angry Birds Friends.[54]

Pigs

[edit]
  • King Smooth Cheeks, also known as King Pig, is the main antagonist of the series and the secondary protagonist of the game Bad Piggies. He is the tyrannical, diabolical and greedy yet immature ruler of all of the pigs on Piggy Island. For years, he has been focused on his army of Minion Pigs capturing the birds' eggs for him to eat. His loyal subjects are forced to constantly humour and serve him, all while trying to steal the eggs. His big secret is that he has never eaten eggs before, and so has an unhealthy obsession with eating the birds' eggs, being the only pig who is allowed to do so.
  • The Minion Pigs are small pigs that are King Pig's subjects and the inhabitants of Pig City, the capital of Piggy Island. Stupid by nature, the Minion Pigs are in the lowest rank of the Piggy kingdom society, despite some having occupations as engineers or pilots. They love to have fun and to serve King Pig.
    • Big Bork, also known as Fat Pig, is a giant pig who appears as an antagonist in Angry Birds Space and later Angry Birds Reloaded. He was frozen inside a giant planet of ice in the episode "Cold Cuts", but was later thawed out of the planet's core. He finally appeared as an in-game enemy at the food planet in the episode "Utopia" where he was briefly seen attempting to eat the Eggsteroid, leading up to his appearance as the episode's final boss where he has grown to the size of a planet, complete with his own gravity field. When he was defeated, he was reverted back into a small Minion Pig and remained permanently defeated.
    • Ross (formerly known as Freckled Pig) is a Minion Pig who is the main playable protagonist of the game Bad Piggies. His occupation is to build vehicles, which he often pilots to help capture the eggs. Ross reappears in The Angry Birds Movie as Leonard's right-hand man, and in Bad Piggies 2 as a middle-aged uncle who guides his nephew (the game's protagonist) on how to build and drive vehicles.
  • Chef Pig, also known as Wizpig in Angry Birds Epic, is the palace chef of Piggy Island, notable for his handlebar moustache and chef hat. As revealed in the Angry Birds Toons episode "Trojan Egg", his true intent is to usurp King Pig's role as the ruler of Piggy Island. While being a professional cook, he is also shown to be conducting scientific experiments, often utilizing them to trick the birds so that he could cook their eggs. However, these experiments often fail in the end.
  • Chronicler Pig is a pig wearing glasses and a judge wig, appearing exclusively in select episodes of Angry Birds Toons.
  • Corporal Pig (formerly known as Helmet Pig) is the bossy commander of the Minion Pigs. He is the one who comes up with plans to steal the eggs. He spends all day shouting at his minions, using fear to put them in order. Corporal Pig idolizes King Pig and will do absolutely anything to satisfy him.
  • Foreman Pig, also known as Moustache Pig, is a moustachioed pig and a secondary antagonist of the series. He is responsible and dedicated, although bossy at most times. He is very loyal to his superiors, as he has no doubt in helping King Pig with any problem he has no matter how ridiculous it is. Foreman Pig is known for being an expert at building vehicles and machines, which he can drive with ease.
  • Handsome Pig is a blonde haired pig who only appears in Angry Birds Stella. He serves as Gale's right-hand man and consistently attempts to seduce Gale in the television series.
  • Prince Porky is the son and prince of King Pig, who exclusively appears in Angry Birds Epic. He is one of the main antagonists of the game alongside Wizpig, but eventually joins the flock after Wizpig betrays him.
  • Professor Pig is an elderly bespectacled pig, possibly the smartest pig on Piggy Island. He seems to be a pacifist, as he hates it when the birds battle against the pigs, especially when Foreman Pig steals his blueprint of peaceful inventions as a design to build an egg-napping contraption.
  • Alien Pig is an alien pig who appears exclusively as an antagonist Angry Birds Space. He only appeared in the "Cosmic Crystals" episode, where he used his UFO to kidnap pigs and trap them inside spherical crystals. Alien Pig attempted to defeat the Angry Birds by collecting tiny crystals to make larger crystal balls that he would fire at them.
  • King Leonard Mudbeard is a bearded pig from the Angry Birds movies and the father of King Pig. He is very confident, enthusiastic and scheming as, in The Angry Birds Movie, he tricked the birds into gaining their trust. Although, he was easily frustrated by Red's complaints and suspicions, mocking him underneath his breath, and has a mindset of not being worried about the consequences of his actions. He would later appear as a playable character in Angry Birds 2 and Angry Birds Reloaded.

Rovio is investigating ways to expand the Angry Birds brand, including merchandise, television shows and movies. As of 2024, Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio Entertainment, has envisioned a feature film in the stop-motion animation style reminiscent of Aardman Animations, famous for the Wallace & Gromit franchise.[55] To that end, Rovio has acquired a Helsinki-based animation studio to prepare Angry Birds short cartoons on for Nickelodeon Extra,[56][57] the first of which was a Christmas special named "Wreck the Halls" that debuted in December 2011.[58] He'd acknowledges that such a film would be years away, and that Rovio must keep the characters relevant until then, by producing sequels and new adaptations of the game.[55]

Film adaptations

[edit]

An animated film adaptation, The Angry Birds Movie, was released on 20 May 2016[67] which fully anthropomorphizes the characters for the first time in franchise history, giving them limbs and voices. Developed, produced and financed by Rovio Entertainment,[67] it is animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks[68] and distributed worldwide by Sony Pictures Entertainment under their Columbia Pictures banner.[67] It is directed by animation veterans Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly in their directorial debut.[69] Jon Vitti wrote the film's screenplay,[70] and John Cohen[71] and Catherine Winder[70] served as the producers.[69] Rovio also hired David Maisel, former executive producer of Marvel Studios films such as Iron Man, to be the executive producer of its feature-length films.[71]

A sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2 was released on 13 August 2019[72][73][74][non-primary source needed][75] which was co-produced by both Rovio Animation and Sony Pictures Animation. Directed by the creator of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, Thurop Van Orman, the sequel breaks from the series' source material by having the Birds and Pigs ending their rivalry to form an alliance to battle a larger threat,[76] as well as becoming one of the most critically well-received video game film adaptations ever made, garnering an unprecedented score of 73% from Rotten Tomatoes.[77]

A second sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 3, was announced on 6 June 2024, with DNEG Animation and Rovio's new parent company Sega Sammy Group producing without the involvement of Sony Pictures.[78]

Merchandise

[edit]

Toys

[edit]

There have been several toys made from Angry Birds characters.[55] The game's official website offers plush versions of the birds and pigs for sale, along with T-shirts featuring the game's logo and characters.[79] In May 2011, Mattel released an Angry Birds board game, titled "Angry Birds: Knock on Wood".[80] Over 10 million Angry Birds toys have been sold thus far.[56] Rovio opened the first official Angry Birds retail store in Helsinki on 11 November 2011 at 11:11 a.m. local time.[81] It expects to open its next retail store somewhere in China, considered the game's fastest-growing market.[81] Merchandise has been successful, with 45% of Rovio's revenues in 2012 coming from branded merchandise.[82]

The most notable toys are the Telepods, created by Hasbro. These figures are created for Angry Birds Star Wars II,[83] Angry Birds Go!, Angry Birds Stella, and Angry Birds Transformers.[84] Telepods use a similar digital toy hybrid concept as Skylanders or Disney Infinity characters, but there is a different technology behind it.[85] These are figures used to "teleport" a character of the corresponding figure into the game by scanning a tiny QR code via the device's camera. The Telepod platform technology was invented by ReToy, a bMuse company, in partnership with Hasbro.[86] Telepods figures are not only for this use, but can also be used with the toy set that comes with the toy, like other Angry Birds board games.

One of the 2012 New Models for Hot Wheels cars from Mattel is based on Red, the Blues, and Chuck. The package card bears both the Hot Wheels and Angry Birds logo.

In 2016, Lego released six sets based on The Angry Birds Movie.[87]

[edit]

In 2011, Rovio published a cookbook titled Bad Piggies: Egg Recipes, along with doodle books based on some characters of the game. After a few weeks of the release of Angry Birds Space, they also released Angry Birds Space-themed books about numbers, alphabets, and stickers.

On 20 March 2012, National Geographic published a paperback book titled Angry Birds Space: A Furious Flight Into The Final Frontier[88][89] shortly before the release of Angry Birds Space which became available on 22 March 2012. National Geographic also has a book titled Angry Birds Feathered Fun for learning all about birds.[90]

In the same year, Rovio created a contest with the prize Angry Birds: Hatching a Universe, a book about the franchise and all the characters. It was released for sale by Titan Books on 24 May 2013;[91] And again by Insight Editions on 4 June 2013.[92] The book was written by Danny Gordon with a foreword by Mikael Hed.

As of 10 March 2014, IDW Publishing announced[93] that they will be publishing Angry Birds Comics starting in June 2014, with Paul Tobin being the writer.[94]

In the summer of 2017, GoComics announced that it will be running a comic strip series based on the world of The Angry Birds Movie, with each issue available to view on its website.[95] The strip ran for over a year, from 3 August 2017 to 20 September 2018.

Food products

[edit]

In early 2012, Olvi started to manufacture Angry Birds soft drinks, after licensing with Rovio[96] with two different tastes: Tropic (tropical fruits)[96] and Paradise (pineapple-mandarin).[96] In September 2012 Olvi released two new tastes to the soft drink collection: Lagoon (pear-apple) and Space Comet (orange-cola).[97][98]

Angry Birds Land

[edit]

The game's characters have been used, officially or otherwise, in amusement park attractions. In September 2011, the Window of the World theme park in Changsha, China opened an unlicensed Angry Birds attraction.[99] Visitors to the park use a large slingshot to launch stuffed versions of the bird characters at green balloons that represent the pigs.[99]

Upon learning of the attraction, Rovio Entertainment was reported to be considering working with the theme park to officially license it.[81] In March 2012, Rovio announced plans for an official Angry Birds Land, that opened on 28 April 2012, at the Särkänniemi adventure park in Finland.[100] Angry Birds Land opened in May 2014 at Johor Bahru City Centre in Malaysia.[101]

The first Angry Birds themed park in the UK was created in Sundown Adventureland, in the Nottinghamshire countryside.[102]

It was announced that UK theme park Thorpe Park would open their own Angry Birds Land themed area within the park, opening in May 2014, with a 4D cinema showing a 10-minute Angry Birds film with 4D effects, and a slight re-theme of existing drop tower ride Detonator.[103] This Angry Birds Land operated until the end of the 2023 season, being rebranded for the 2024 season.[104]

Angry Birds Activity Parks

[edit]

Rovio opened "Activity Parks" of the game. The first one opened in Lightwater Valley, England, with dance floors, playgrounds that include slides, and touchscreen devices for visitors to play Angry Birds.[citation needed] The attraction also opened in Vuokatti, Finland, with obstacle courses and races,[105] and a separate "Angry Birds Town" with kids' cars.

A park opened in Malaysia, but closed after six years on 5 April 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[106]

Global impact

[edit]

Television

[edit]

The Angry Birds characters have been referenced in television programs throughout the world. The Israeli comedy show Eretz Nehederet (in English: a Wonderful Country), one of the nation's most popular TV programs, satirized recent failed Israeli-Palestinian peace attempts by featuring the Angry Birds in peace negotiations with the pigs. Clips of the segment went viral, getting viewers from all around the world. The sketch received favorable coverage from a variety of independent blogs such as digitaltrends.com,[5] hotair.com[112] and intomobile.com,[113] as well as from online news media agencies such as Haaretz,[114] The Christian Science Monitor,[6] The Guardian,[115] and MSNBC.[116] American television hosts Conan O'Brien, Jon Stewart and Daniel Tosh have referenced the game in comedy sketches on their respective series, Conan, The Daily Show, and Tosh.0.[117][118][119] In the 30 Rock episode "Plan B", guest star Aaron Sorkin laments to Liz Lemon, "Our craft is dying while people are playing Angry Birds and poking each other on Facebook". He then provides a tip for Liz to improve her score in the game.[citation needed] In February 2011, American journalist Jake Tapper mockingly introduced U.S. Senator Chris Coons as the "Angry Birds champion of the Senate" during the National Press Club's annual dinner.[120] Some of the game's more notable fans include ex-Prime Minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom, who plays the iPad version of the game, and author Salman Rushdie, who claims he is "something of a master at Angry Birds".[121] Basketball star Kevin Durant is an avid fan of Angry Birds, and regularly plays other NBA stars in matches, although he is wary of cheating.[122] In August 2011, the Milwaukee Brewers played the Angry Birds theme song during the pre-game introductions of the arch-rival St. Louis Cardinals players, in reference to former Cardinals' manager Tony LaRussa's propensity to bean opposing players.[citation needed] Angry Birds also appears briefly, for comic relief, during a scene in the 2013 film G.I. Joe: Retaliation, in which Zartan plays the game while waiting for the world leaders' response to his threats of annihilation.[citation needed] Angry Birds were featured in the 2013 Helsinki episode of Veep.[citation needed] Angry Birds was referenced in the film The Starving Games, a parody of The Hunger Games.[citation needed] A group in the Indian show Dance+ have done a dance based on Angry Birds.[citation needed] Angry Birds was referenced in the Family Guy episode "Turban Cowboy" where one failed skydiving attempt by Peter results in him landing in a level. The TV show Robot Chicken also parodied Angry Birds in one sketch.

Advertisements

[edit]

Angry Birds and its characters have been featured in advertisements for other products. In March 2011, the characters began appearing in a series of advertisements for Microsoft's Bing search engine.[123] At the 2011 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, Nokia used scrims on a downtown building to project an advertisement for its new N8 handset that included the game's characters.[124] A June 2011 T-Mobile advertisement filmed in Barcelona, Spain included a real-life mock-up of the game in a city plaza,[125] while Nokia used the game in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to promote an attempt to set a world record for the largest number of people playing a single mobile game.[126] Finnair has also used Angry Birds in their advertising, including taping an Airbus A340 airliner with the Angry Birds figures and holding an Angry Birds tournament on board a flight to Singapore.[127] Rovio has also prepared a number of web-based promotional variants of Angry Birds themed around creations of other companies, such as Finnish snack company Fazer,[128] Spanish pizza delivery chain Telepizza,[129] and Japanese television network Fuji TV,[130] as well as promotions of American brands including Cheetos,[131] Wonderful Pistachios[132] and Coca-Cola.[133] In November 2013, Indian brand Parle started a marketing campaign in which a trading card is included in each packet of Parle's Wafers and it included a related contest to win Angry Birds merchandise.[134] In February 2016, Cadbury India had Angry Birds small figurines or tattoos in Cadbury Gems packs or Surprise balls.[135] In June 2016, Kurkure India started an offer to win daily themed prizes and a trip to Angry Birds Activity Park in Malaysia.[136]

Hockey VM mascot

Finnish Formula One driver Heikki Kovalainen used an Angry Birds-themed helmet in the 2012 season, following a sponsorship deal with Rovio. Angry Birds also sponsored the Lotus F1 Team that year, with its logo on the top of each Lotus Renault F1 car's nosecone. As part of the deal, fellow Finn Kimi Räikkönen ran an Angry Birds 'Space' logo on his branded caps.[137]

Hockey Bird, an angry hockey playing bird, was the official mascot of the 2012 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championships. It was designed by Toni Kysenius and Rovio Entertainment.[138]

Premier League association football club Everton F.C. signed a deal with Rovio in 2017, whereby the Angry Birds logo appears on the club shirt's left sleeve beginning from the 2017–18 Premier League campaign.[139]

Video games

[edit]

The game's popularity has spawned knock-off and parody games that utilize the same basic mechanics as Angry Birds. For example, Angry Turds features monkeys hurling feces and other objects at hunters who have stolen their babies.[140] Another game, titled Chicks'n'Vixens and released in beta form on Windows Phone devices, replaces the birds and pigs with chickens and foxes, respectively.[141] The developer of Chicks'n'Vixens intended the game as a challenge to Rovio Mobile, which stated at the time that a Windows Phone port of Angry Birds would not be ready until later in 2011.[141] The Angry Birds theme song (Balkan Blast Remix) and its characters appear in Just Dance 2016.[142]

Religion

[edit]

Angry Birds has inspired works of religious analogy. A five-part essay titled "Angry Birds Yoga — How to Eliminate the Green Pigs in Your Life" was written by Giridhari Dasa of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness of Brazil, utilizing the characters and gameplay mechanics to explain various concepts of yoga in Gaudiya Vaishnavism as understood and interpreted by the Hare Krishna.[143][144][145][146][147] The piece attracted much media attention, in Brazil and abroad, for its unique method of philosophico-religious presentation.[148][149][150][151] The piece was also recognized and appreciated by Rovio Mobile's Peter Vesterbacka, who was prompted to comment on Twitter, "Very cool! I can see Angry Birds Yoga becoming a worldwide craze;-)".[143]

Education

[edit]

Rovio also launched the Angry Birds Playground in partnership with University of Helsinki. Based on the Finnish national curriculum the program covers maths, science, music, language, arts & crafts, physical education and social interaction. Focused on preschoolers of kindergarten age, the program introduced interactive learning material including books, posters, games and digital content.[152] In 2015, a spin-off from the Rovio Angry Birds Playground was established as Fun Academy by co-founder and CEO Sanna Lukander, former Rovio's vice president of learning and book publishing, and co-founder Peter Vesterbacka [fi], former Rovio's 'Mighty Eagle'.[153] Fun Academy is currently[when?] present in 9 countries across the world.[citation needed]

Controversy

[edit]

Israel–Hamas war

[edit]

During the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, graphic ads supporting Israel showed up in Angry Birds and other video games for children. The Israeli Foreign Ministry said it had instructed advertisers to block the ads for viewers under the age of 18. Rovio subsequently banned the ads manually.[154]

Leaking user data

[edit]

In January 2014, it was revealed that Angry Birds was considered a "leaky app" and was used to collect data about its users including their sexual orientation and location by the National Security Agency (NSA) and GCHQ. In retaliation, anti-NSA hackers defaced Rovio's website. Claims were made by Edward Snowden that the app was leaky and that they were capable of siphoning data.

According to The Register, the information was leaked through the in-game advertisement code like that embedded by Millennial Media: "Millennial's tracking software generates a personal record for each user that can store information from their political affiliation and sexual orientation to whether their marital state was single, married, divorced, engaged or 'swinger'. This information is used to target in-app ads more effectively, and can be collected by UK and US intelligence agencies for analysis."[155] In a statement to the press, Rovio denied that they were providing any information to the intelligence agencies, but did not exclude the possibility that their advertisers might do so.[156]

Following this revelation, on 29 January, the Angry Birds site was defaced by hackers who replaced it with "Spying Birds" via a DNS hijacking attack. According to Rovio, "The defacement was caught in minutes and corrected immediately".[156] The Syrian Electronic Army tweeted after the incident that the attack had been carried out by "a friend" of theirs.[157]
