Piggy Tales is a Finnish computer-animated television series based on Bad Piggies, a spin-off of Angry Birds. Animated in a style resembling clay animation, the series focus on the life of the minion pigs, and it has no dialogue. It was produced by Rovio Entertainment, with the French studio Cube Creative providing some of the animation.
Piggy Tales premiered in 2014 on the ToonsTV channel through the Angry Birds applications and on the ToonsTV website. The series continued in 2015 with the second season, subtitled Pigs at Work, followed by the third season, subtitled Third Act, in 2016. A fourth season, subtitled 4th Street, is also in production.
As of June 2016, the whole programme combined had been viewed more than 1 billion times. As of October 2016, the series, along with Angry Birds Toons and Angry Birds Stella, has aired in over 200 territories.
The second series focuses on pigs as they do "pigstruction" work.
The third season of Piggy Tales is subtitled "Third Act". Consisting of a total of 35 1-minute episodes, the season's main themes are: "Summer Sports", "Back to School", "Halloween" and "Happy Holidays". All episodes are set in a theatre in downtown Pig City (as seen in The Angry Birds Movie), showing pigs as they "rehearse and horse around on-stage." The first episode premiered on 3 June 2016 on the iOS and Android app of Toons.TV, followed by the release on the Toons.TV YouTube channel on 5 June 2016. The last episode was released on 5 February 2017. The pigs' design is based on that of their design in The Angry Birds Movie.
A fourth season, titled 4th Street, and consisting of 30 episodes, will take place "on a street corner in Pig City where the loveable pigs put a comical spin on everyday situations."
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is the DVD distributor for the series.
