Angry Birds Toons Season 2 Looks to be Coming in May (exact start date unknown)

Angry Birds Toons Official Wallpaper

Angry Birds Toons fans rejoice, as Toons.tv was updated, stating there would be a new episode in 31 days (this update to toons.tv has since been pulled). Presumably, this means the start of Season 2; however, the 31 day stated time frame would put the new episode on Thursday, May 1, 2014. To date, all Toons episodes have debuted on a Sunday, so it is more likely that the new episode will appear on May 4, 2014.

Spring into April with the Flock

As well all know, tomorrow is April 1st, so prepare yourself for some awesome April Fools jokes popping up around the web.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Rovio do something as well. That is, something beyond the special Angry Birds Friends “First Week of April” tournament for that is out now. You can play it here on Facebook or download it for your iOS or Android device. We also have power-up and standard 3 star walkthroughs available for all the levels.

In other Spring news the Angry Birds Japan Twitter account (@AngryBirds_JP) has released these fun images to welcome spring:

Will the Angry Birds lay the Smack Down?

It was reported by pwinsider.com that WWE (World Wresting Entertainment) put out an online poll asking fans what they would like to see in future WWE video games. Among the options were an adventure game, a turn-based RPG, a manager-themed game, a toy-themed game similar to Telepods, and lastly, this:

5. Join an epic adventure with the Angry Birds in the WWE Universe! Use your favorite wrestling moves and slingshot your way through an action-packed journey from WrestleMania to Royal Rumble, facing the biggest WWE Superstars of all time! Can you become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion with the help of the Angry Birds?

It should be noted that in 2011, the WWE released an Angry Birds clone called “Superstar Slingshot”. Though it is no longer available, you can see a demo video above. Whether this game becomes reality or not may be up to WWE fans and how they respond to the poll.

Unlike some of the other marshups, I think the chances of this one happening are very low, but I have been wrong in the past. Nonetheless, it’s fun to see how the Angry Birds continue to saturate today’s pop culture.

That’s going to do it for this news round up. Have a great day and good flinging!

Glad to read the Toons are coming back. Miss the pigs antics to obtain the egg and the different personalities exemplified by the birds. Most of all miss the opportunity to guess the plots after viewing a 5 second preview.

It would be great to have the Angry Birds as different WWE wrestlers but the short and long term revenues would probably not meet their requirements. Their events and merchandising of their own products may provide a greater revenue and profit margin. But there is always hope.

I seen the “New Episode in 32 Days” before, I even had a screenshot at the Bloated Pig.

Unless that was intentional, it’s mashups.

A friend of mine from Japan said the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! These trees bloom only once a year, right at the beginning of spring. The blossoms only last about a week, so it was a real treat for me to be there at the right time!

I’d like to play an Angry Birds WWE.

With the original birds in costumes and some whole new birds based on existing wrestlers like the Undertaker and that guy with the Eric Cartman t-shirt.
