One of the inevitabilities of our favorite frustrated fowl is that they would have to become more individualized when adapted into more storybook formats. Still, I can't help but be disappointed.
Red, Bomb and the Blues are fine...descriptive and non-contradictory. But Matilda? Chuck? Terence?
Considering the birds were created in Scandinavia Finland (which is commonly mistaken for Scandinavia but isn't), I was hoping for Katya, Oystein and Fjurkkelbjerggenhooferloogin. I guess I was just a dreamer.
The new cartoon, featuring the new names, debuts March 17th, which is also St. Patrick's Day, and super appropriate, since it's a day when green gluttons behave the most badly. Video trailer after the jump.

Gotta defend my native franchise here. Angry Birds are from Finland, which is not a part of Scandinavia. Some of the birds do have slightly different names here, for example the yellow bird is called Sakke, not Chuck.
As for the matter of the White Bird bombing the enemies with her eggs, people who are not estranged from nature and lifestock would know that eggs of hen only contain embryos if they are fertilized by a rooster. However, hens can pop out eggs even if they are not "knocked up" by a rooster, and those unfertilized eggs are actually the ones that appear in your breakfast tables. ;)

@SamSandy I'll be damned. You're right.

Sakke is exactly the sort of name I want to see in there.

I'm not judging anyone, but I never gave a shit about the Angry Birds. I hope they made the guy who invented them rich beyond the dreams of avarice but, beyond that, I just don't care.

I knew about Terence somehow for a while now... but the others?
You know, I had always assumed that the white bird was male. That way, he was some dude just dropping explosives. But now that it's female, those are probably her eggs, and... SHE'S BRUTALLY MURDERING HER BABIES IN TERRORIST SUICIDE BOMBINGS.
