After ten years, Rovio's Angry Birds franchise has become an ubiquitous pop culture force to be reckoned with, with over a dozen mobile games, several animated web series and two animated movies. And somehow, it's quite strange that by this point, few have realized that Angry Birds and pinball have something in common - launching spherical things (birds or balls) at targets. (There's one unlicensed Angry Birds pinball table floating out there by this time.)

Perhaps it would be very exciting if the well-esteemed virtual pinball developer, Zen Studios, could consider coming over to Rovio and negotiating a potential license to develop three official pinball tables based on the two Angry Birds movies and the 2014 Angry Birds Stella spinoff. The designs and rulesheets for all three tables have already been put up and thoroughly brainstormed on the Angry Birds fanon wiki by an avid fan who only became one mainly by seeing the movies. Emphasis is being put on "license", because we know that these tables can't become real if Rovio does not give explicit permission to make them so.

We are not terribly concerned over Rovio's ultimate decision - we just want Zen Studios to just come over and ask Rovio about it. We think it should be the next new virtual licensed table that deserves to be part of Pinball FX 3's ever-growing catalogue of well-crafted virtual pinball tables, after Zen spent over a year parading its Williams' tables shortly upon getting the license from Farsight Studios.
