Angry Birds cartoon series premieres next month

Rovio has announced the debut of its new Angry Birds animated series will land in March.

 

A blog post and accompanying trailer from the video game developer-turned-entertainment company confirmed that Angry Birds Toons will premiere on March 16-17 (assumedly based on time zones).

According to Rovio, new episodes will be made available online “every” week – though how many are ready to go at this point is unclear.

 

It’s been a while since we heard about the cartoon, which was originally revealed back in January 2011 as one of the many products the company was investing in for its mobile franchise.

 

Synergy

Another defnition from The Media Student's Book

Synergy is the concept that extra value could emerge from using the effort put into one product in the production and promotion of another. For example, a media conglomerate working with an author in a publishing division might also consider film, television and game adaptations in other divisions of the same company.

The possibilities of synergies between divisions of a conglomerate became apparant in the 1980s - the film industry was revived commerically through rental and retail sales of films on VHS as well as technological innovations such as cable television, videogames and music video.
