## Spoilers
### Premise and characters
The series centers on the Blues, the three small blue birds whose special power in the [Angry Birds](https://www.edgepedia.org/angry-birds) games is splitting into three identical birds. Rovio's official description presents Jake, Jay, and Jim as rambunctious triplets whose schemes, such as building a clubhouse ordered from the Mighty Eagle Express or getting a kite to fly, become comic disasters, with the brothers unfazed and ready to try again.[3](https://www.angrybirds.com/series/blues/) The Hatchlings, the wide-eyed baby birds that became breakout characters in the 2016 film, appear alongside them, and their involvement typically derails the Blues' plans in an adorable way.[3](https://www.angrybirds.com/series/blues/) • [7](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/angry-birds-blues-series-co-starring-hatchlings-set-143044118.html)
TVmaze describes the show as based on the Blues and the Hatchlings as they appeared in *The Angry Birds Movie*, animated in the same style as the film, with the Blues having fun while the Hatchlings do random things and ruin those plans.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/27938/angry-birds-blues)
### Place in the franchise
*Angry Birds Blues* joined Rovio's lineup of original animated series based on the mobile-game franchise, alongside *Angry Birds Toons*, *Angry Birds Stella*, and *[Piggy Tales](https://www.edgepedia.org/piggy-tales)*.[7](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/angry-birds-blues-series-co-starring-hatchlings-set-143044118.html) Rovio's production list records it as one season of 30 comedy episodes, in contrast to *Angry Birds Toons* (3 seasons, 104 episodes) and *Piggy Tales* (4 seasons, 121 episodes).[1](https://angrybirds.fandom.com/wiki/Angry_Birds_Blues) The series remains available through Rovio's YouTube channel, where the official Angry Birds channel, which passed 10 million subscribers, still hosts the complete episodes and compilation videos.[10](https://www.rovio.com/articles/the-angry-birds-youtube-channel-reaches-10-million-subscribers/) • [3](https://www.angrybirds.com/series/blues/)
## Production
Rovio teased the series during the end credits of *The Angry Birds Movie*, and the London-based kids' entertainment company CAKE brought the short-form CG series to the MIPTV market in 2017.[4](https://www.awn.com/news/bardel-entertainment-animating-rovios-angry-birds-blues-series) • [8](https://www.awn.com/news/cake-bringing-new-angry-birds-series-miptv) [The Canadian](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-canadian) studio Bardel Entertainment partnered with Rovio to produce the animation. Producer Joonas Rissanen said Bardel was chosen because it understood the quality the brand demands, and the stated goal was a look indistinguishable from the feature film within a television-series budget and schedule. Bardel's CG supervisor Chris Browne's team built a pipeline capable of rendering detailed assets, such as dense grass in large-scale environments, at television speed.[4](https://www.awn.com/news/bardel-entertainment-animating-rovios-angry-birds-blues-series) Rainbow CGI, an Italian studio, was responsible for developing the birds, with Bardel in charge of animation.[6](https://www.rbw-cgi.it/serie-tv/angry-birds-blues/)
## Release and distribution
The series debuted on ToonsTV on March 10, 2017, and was also aired on the official Angry Birds YouTube channel.[4](https://www.awn.com/news/bardel-entertainment-animating-rovios-angry-birds-blues-series) • [6](https://www.rbw-cgi.it/serie-tv/angry-birds-blues/) Episodes arrived on a Thursday schedule of about three minutes each.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/27938/angry-birds-blues) In August 2017, Rovio shut down ToonsTV, which had launched in 2013, to concentrate on its YouTube channel; marketing manager Aino Greis said the company got much bigger coverage with YouTube. *Angry Birds Blues* moved to YouTube, and another 20 episodes were due in September of that year.[2](https://licensinginternational.org/news/rovio-shuts-toonstv-in-favor-of-youtube/)
The season concluded with "The Last Act" on December 14, 2017, an episode in which a well-rehearsed play turns into chaos once the Hatchlings get involved.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/27938/angry-birds-blues) TVmaze and the Rovio Animation production list both record the series as ended, with a run from March 10 to December 14, 2017.[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/27938/angry-birds-blues) • [1](https://angrybirds.fandom.com/wiki/Angry_Birds_Blues) IMDb, by contrast, lists the series with a 2017 to 2022 span.[9](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6613034/)
