Piggy Tales (seasons 3 & 4)

Piggy Tales is a clay animated television series by Rovio Animation. It focuses on the Pigs, the antagonists of Angry Birds, the birds' enemies and their arch-nemesis. The show ran from April 11, 2014 - May 30, 2019.

While the first & second seasons were much well received, Season 3-4 received negative-mixed reception from critics, reviewers & fans.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Because of the 2016 CEO's involvement, these seasons remove & lack the charm that the first two seasons had with the pigs now using their movie forms and also no longer using the white/green background anymore.
 * 2) The Pigs have been completely flanderized to act more completely dumb instead of being the comical, crazy & loved green pigs we all knew.
 * 3) The clay animation was replaced by CGI animation in these seasons. The animation here went from amazing and clever to cheaper and dull.
 * 4) * Even the backgrounds also got a downgrade. They went from the enjoyable white/green background to a show-like & blue sky background, which is not an out-place mix since the green pigs are supposed to be green (pun intended).
 * 5) Loads of bad episodes due to dull writing.
 * 6) These seasons feel completly disconnected from the previous 2 so they just used the movie designs and have CGI animation instead of stop motion animation.
 * 7) 4th street's city setting completly destroys the identity that Season 1-3 had by making it feel like a worse version of the piggy episodes from Angry Birds Toons.

Good Qualities

 * 1) There are still some enjoyable episodes.
 * 2) "Pigs Can Fly" was a good way to end the show, as it shows a pig singing in style, and it also showed a fireworks saying "The End".
 * 3) Some fans can still enjoy these seasons.
 * 4) Although remade from both seasons, the theme song is still faithful to the previous 2.
 * 5) It was really cool how "The Final Curtain" revealed how seasons 3&4 are connected like how seasons 1&2 were.
 * 6) 3rd act's stage setting was a neat concept.

Trivia

 * On the fourth season's DVD, one of the bonus features featured 2 episodes from "Angry Birds Blues".
