Angry Birds Stella is a Finnish computer-animated TV series based on the game Angry Birds Stella that was produced by Rovio Entertainment.[1][2] The first episode, "A Fork in the Friendship", aired on ToonsTV in November 1, 2014. The series recounts the tale of Stella, along with her friends Luca, Willow, Poppy and Dahlia, as they work their way against Gale, the former friend of Stella, that is the queen of the pigs in Golden Island.[1] The first season focuses on Gale tiring to hunt for the Golden Egg, but, fails as seen in the final episode of season 1, "To The Bitter End". The second season focuses on Gale returning and tiring to hunt for the golden egg again, and she succeeded as seen in "The Golden Queen", the 9th episode of season 2. Also, Dahlia, one of the birds, tries searching for the egg as well for an experiment, but this time, she fails, as seen in "It's Mine!". Soon enough, the birds realize how dangerous this egg can be, as seen in "Premonition", the 11th episode in season 2, which in when Gale with the golden egg, anything that is touched with it, turns to gold. However, when that happens, another thing turns to stone, the opposite of gold, which causes all trees, bugs, pigs, birds, and even worse food to be turned to stone as well. Now, it's up to the Stella gang to save Golden Island before it is too late. They do succeed, as seen in "You Asked For It", the 13th and final episode of season 2, where after a long awful night, Stella and her gang launch the golden egg out of the island, never to be seen again. Gale doesn't mind because when she saw the golden egg after she broke out of the gold in the episode, she ran away, back into her castle.
However, since Golden Island, Bird Island, and Piggy Island are all separate islands, the golden egg could land on either Bird Island or Piggy Island. This could be a possible plot for the possible 4th season of Angry Birds Toons or Piggy Tales. This could be the final season of the series due to a third season not be announced as of August 2016.
Characters
- Stella, Pink in color[3] – The de facto leader of the flock, Stella is described as adventurous, fierce, friendly, courageous and bold. Despite being very upset with Gale for the latter's departure and betrayal in the name of vanity, she still considers Gale a friend.
- Dahlia, Brownish in color and very owl-like in appearance – The brain of the flock and a smart inventor, but some of her inventions often backfire.[4]
- Luca, Sky blue in color and similar in appearance to the Blues in the original game – The only boy in the flock and also the youngest.[5] He is very playful and imaginative, and, unlike the others, has little to no ill-will towards Gale after the latter left the flock. His tummy grumbles in "The Runaway".
- Poppy, Light yellow in color and somewhat resembling a Cockatiel[6] – Loud and boisterous, Poppy has a fondness for music, but the amount of noise she makes from her percussion often irks her friends instead, as Poppy frequently enjoys herself to the point she's unaware of the racket she makes.
- Willow,[7] Darker blue in color with feathers resembling dreadlocks (most of which are concealed underneath her signature striped, floppy hat) – Very shy, however, she is a very talented artist, and specializes in painting portraits.
- Gale, the dark purple bird. Also known as the Bad Princess.[8] – A selfish and extremely vain bird, formerly one of the flock and was once a close friend of Stella. She left the flock after discovering that, unlike her friends, the pigs were willing to have her as their queen without question and will answer her every whim. In episode 13, in the end Gale is trapped inside an active volcano, leaving it unknown whether she is alive or dead. In the season 2 episode New Day, it is shown that she is survived however was injured.
