I believe many people have played the mobile mini-game Angry Birds. Today, the game's design company Rovio and 20th Century Fox jointly announced that they will collaborate on a special version of the angry birds game called Angry Birds Rio. This move is not only to promote Fox and Blue Sky Animation Studio's animated film Rio but also to let the game Angry Birds fly further with the help of Hollywood.

The animated film Rio, which will be released on April 15 this year, is dedicated to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the host city of the 2016 Olympic Games. The film tells the adventure story of a bookworm parrot from a small town in Minnesota flying towards Rio. The voice of the bookworm parrot is provided by Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), who often plays nerds. Moreover, this year's Oscar host Anne Hathaway, comedian Neil Patrick Harris, Tracy Morgan, and Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx will also lend their voices.

According to reports, the game Angry Birds Rio tells the story of the birds being kidnapped to Rio, where they must break the birdcages to rescue other species. This game has a total of 45 levels (new levels will be regularly updated and added), and it will be available on the app store in March.
