Piggy Tales is a CGI-Claymation animation mini-series based on Bad Piggies, a spinoff of Angry Birds, and is the second series created in the franchise, after Angry Birds Toons. With the birds completely absent from this seriesNote Although there's a few nods to their appearances and even a full-blown cameo in one episode , it follows the misadventures of the minion pigs, who tend to be goofing around, following orders, having a competition with each other, doing anything stupid... Well, you name it!The series premiered in April 2014 and ended in May 2019 with a total of 4 seasons and 122 episodes. It also has unique setting starting from season 2 onward. The series could be viewed on ToonsTV until its closure in 2017 and on YouTube, as well as Netflix alongside other Rovio Entertainment series through compilations. Piggy Tales (Season 1): The first installment that started it all. This season follows the life of the minion pigs as they figure out their surroundings with their limited wisdom. It consists 31 episodes. Piggy Tales: Pigs at Work (Season 2): This season follows the pigs in the middle of a construction yard as they try to tackle their jobs (or even goofing off sometimes). It consists 26 episodes. Piggy Tales: Third Act (Season 3): Set up in a Piggy Theater, this season showcases the pigs acting out their trademark antics and pay tribute to the classics of stage and screen. It consists 35 episodes and marks the change of the animation style into fully CGI, redesigning the minion pigs to their The Angry Birds Movie designs, and having an actual setting for the show instead of just a colorless background. Piggy Tales: 4th Street (Season 4): A follow-up to Third Act, and the final season in the series. It shows the minion pigs' daily life in the middle of the movie version of Pig City and consists 30 episodes,

Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: In "Rough-necks", the pig could be heard whistling to the Bad Piggies theme song on his second climb to the tower. Nonetheless, the theme also played during the end credits of "Fly Piggy, Fly!" and "Race Nuts".

Sequel Hook: In the final episode of Third Act, the pigs accidentally blow up the theater by putting an ignited dynamite into the storage after they cleaned the place up, which teared down the walls behind them and revealing Pig City. This is likely to lead to Piggy Tales: 4th Street.

Amusing Injuries: The minion pigs constantly get abused in this series to the point it become a Running Gag, espectially in the first season. It mostly happen due to their own doing, while the other because of just plain bad luck.

Insane Troll Logic: Due to their cluelessness, sometimes the pigs comes up with a rather absurd idea when they try to solve their problem. For example, in one episode, one pig thought he could help his friend to open his lunchbox by building a tower to topple it into. And it works.

Brick Joke: In "Abduction", one minion pig got "abducted" by a tiny alien pig and carried away. This same piggy somehow ended up going to the doctor in "Dr. Pork M.D" episode. Frankly, in Third Act, the former episode's scenario happened again in "Re-Abduction". And then, in the episode called "Snout Invasion" in 4th Street, the same thing happens... again.
