Angry Birds Week: Nickelodeon UK to air exclusive short film on Angry Birds Space on Friday

Promises to reveal 'six brand-new birds'

The avians with a temper just don't let up, do they?

Top children's TV station Nickelodeon has revealed it will be showing an exclusive short film based around the latest game, Angry Birds Space, on its UK channel tomorrow at 6pm.

The film - entitled simply 'Angry Birds Space' - is the story of how Red Bird, Blue Bird(s), and the others managed to end up in space in the first place. Hopefully, it'll also show the useless White Bird being horribly killed during their travels, for I note he's not in the new game.

(Mighty) Eagle-eyed viewers may already know it was a wormhole-wot-did-it from the official launch trailer (see below), but Nickelodeon promises that the new film will reveal six "brand-new" birds, as well.

You can see Angry Birds Space if you tune into Nickelodeon on Friday March 23rd at 6pm.
