Rovio Mobile recently turned the characters from its popular Angry Birds game into plush toys, so it was only a matter of time before those birds and pigs came to life in an animated series.

In an interview with British TV industry site C21media.net, Rovio CEO Mikael Hed said an Angry Birds cartoon is in the works. "We have been looking at that for quite a while, and that is definitely one of my personal big focus areas right now - to work on broadcast content for 'Angry Birds,'" Hed said.

When asked on its Twitter feed if Hed's statements were accurate, Rovio tweeted that it "must be if we say so."

Hed did not have any additional details about who Rovio might partner with on the animated series or whether it would be viewable online or on TV. Rovio did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In August, Variety reported that Rovio execs were making the round with Hollywood studios and investors in an effort to broaden the Angry Birds franchise into TV shows, movies, toys, and comic books.

The toy aspect has come to fruition; is TV next? For those who can't wait, Keshet TV has a live-action skit (below) that features an intermediary trying to broker a peace treaty between the pigs and birds.
