The Angry Birds movie is coming in 2016. But, you won't need to wait three years to sate your appetite for more Angry Birds animated content.

Angry Birds Toons is a brand new animated series launching on the weekend of March 16th. The series plans on answering the tough questions like "what makes Bomb Bird so angry" and "why is the King Pig the King Pig?"

The series will not be televised. Instead, Rovio has opted to broadcast the show on the web through the Angry Birds official website. It's unclear how long the series will last, but Rovio promises to offer a new episode every week.

  I seriously doubt there will be any Angry Birds interest in three years time

    Why not? We've had artillery games since the beginning of computers. Rovio just made it cutesy.

      I feel like the whole Angry Birds thing has already peaked. In three more years when the movie comes out? The fad will have passed.

        They did well mixing the formula up so far with Space but I don't see any way they could keep releasing games that continue to capture mainstream interest for three more years.

    Cash in while they can. I'm jealous of how a few people took something so simple and have managed to make a killing off it
