The line-up will include 3 series – Angry Birds Toons, Angry Birds Stella and Piggy Tales chronicling the adventures of the much loved characters.

Following the global popularity of Angry Birds and the mega-success of the movie across the globe, Discovery Kids will bring in a fresh take on the rivalry between the birds and pigs to India. From the angry Red to the superfast Chuck and the calm Matilda who battle with the pigs led by Top Hog- the king pig, the series promises to be a laugh riot for kids and families.
