When Flappy Bird’s creator has pulled the famous game saying it was ‘too addictive,’ Rovio Entertainment has no such qualms and has declared a new Angry Birds spin-off series called Angry Birds Stella.
The game has been named after its protagonist, the pink, female Stella thing depicted as a “fierce and a feisty character with a great group of friends”.
Angry Birds Stella is all about inspiration, empowerment, and other real issues, without forgetting entertainment and quirky fun. Its story will live and evolve across physical and digital, bridging them in fun and innovative ways. It is released shortly.
Coming this fall, Angry Birds Stella will take place across multiple media, including animation, toys, books and other retail products in addition to the mobile games.
Phenakistoscope (1831) A phenakistoscope disc by Eadweard Muybridge (1893).The phenakistoscope was an early animation device. It was invented in 1831 simultaneously by the Belgian Joseph Plateau and the Austrian Simon von Stampfer. It consists of a disk with a series of images, drawn on radii evenly spaced around the center of the disk. Slots are cut out of the disk on the same radii as the drawings, but at a different distance from the center. The device would be placed in front of a mirror and spun. As the phenakistoscope is spun, a viewer would look through the slots at the reflection of the drawings which would only become visible when a slot passes by the viewer's eye. This created the illusion of animation.
