Scrapped Content

Over the course of Angry Birds history several ideas and concepts have been planned but ultimately were cancelled for various reasons. Much of this content has been remembered and catalogued here as this content may never return to the series.

Characters
Several characters with few or no names have existed to assist the heroes or the villains, mainly the heroes. There was a planned dolphin character that was soon to become a major character of the series with actual character development. This character was scrapped simply because he didn’t fit the theme of the show. Along with him several other characters in the Land of the Forgotten were also promised roles but never made the cut for a major character of the series. A major set of characters that were scrapped were the Anti-characters. These characters were the opposite of the originals and the Anti-Birds were led by Anti-Scarlet, a controlling dictator/leader. The Anti-Pigs helped the Angry Birds defeat the Anti-Birds and the pigs. These characters were scrapped when their story arc ended. Some say that Ping Kig is the Anti-King Pig, but there is no information to support this claim. Another set of scrapped characters were the cars. They were presumed to be possessed and were kept in a large box to prevent their reign of terror. Soon enough the cars had a story arc, and once it was over they left the island to live in the downstairs district, ultimately deeming these characters and their story arc to be scrap.

Assets
A fairly old scrapped asset was the conversion rate of coins to rings. This was probably scrapped because of one of two things, either because the system was too complicated or that Mario and Sonic became less important characters. Another scrapped asset is the AngryDex. This handheld device could have been scrapped since it was deemed useless since it was extremely difficult to update it when a newcomer arrived. One of the most recently scrapped ideas was the concept of the Banishing Place, a place where characters were sent to live by the Mighty Eagle if they were rude or committed crimes. That all changed when the Big Split happened, sending the girls to move to the Banishing Place leading the place to no longer be used by the Mighty Eagle.

Film and Gameplay
Princess Jake and Mini Jake actually had gaming channels and sold merchandise like shirts and jackets. While the two of them continue to sell merchandise, it's unclear why the two of them stopped using their gameplay channels. On the topic of a gaming channel, in late ‎2018, King Pig appeared on a Gameplay Channel, which was planned to become a new series spanning multiple Bootube Channels. However, do to the poor performance of the first episode, the series was scrapped. Another set of cancelled TV series were Piggy Show, Piggy Tornado, and the Yoshi Series. These shows were all scrapped and they won't return due to the low quality and performance the original series had. One other planned film project that was scrapped was “ズーリの物語 正午のリゼ” (The Story of Zuri, Rise of Noon). One time spin-off was scrapped due to the loss of interest in the project. A fairly well known cancelled film was Coconut and Bamboo’s Nightmare 3. This film was definitely planned even with promotional material shown to the public and executive producers. However, it was cancelled due to the Big Split event separating the guys from the girls.

Plot Ideas
The first plot idea scrapped was the original plot, Angry Birds versus the pigs. This lasted for the first and early second season of ‘Angry Birds.’ However when more and more newcomers arrived this plot fell apart and the birds were pushed to the back and were almost forgotten. The next plot that was introduced was more focused on the Beanie Boos and their lives rather than a true hero versus a villain. However, after the Big Split event, this plot developed into the current plot of the series ultimately deeming the Beanie Boos versus the Side Characters plot scrap.
