Does this mean the Angry Birds will get slimed? Nickelodeon will premiere a new animated short film, Angry Birds - Wreck the Halls this weekend, on Saturday, December 17th. The short will air during the 11am airing of Nick's Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness series.

Angry Birds - Wreck the Halls is a global exclusive to Nickelodeon and will air on Nick channels around the world starting Saturday, December 17.

Are the skis going to be available in the game?

And what would the storyline be for this first TV version of the mega-popular game? Here's the official description:

In Angry Birds - Wreck the Halls, the Pigs try to get away with the Angry Birds' Christmas presents. After bickering with each other, Red and Bomb bird mount a bold gift rescue down the steep mountain slopes. Following a wild chase, Bomb finally catches up and is able to salvage the presents, wrecking the Pig's halls in the process. Seeing what has happened, the Birds feel pity for the Pigs and let them have one of the presents. It's Christmas after all!

Following the exclusive world premiere of the short, viewers can catch the birds again at nick.com/watch.

* A bit like Nickelodeon's 24-hour documentary "Nickellennium", which Nickelodeon channels around the world showed to ring in the new millennium on 1st January 2000.
