Finnish mobile gaming company Rovio said on Friday which a movie depending on its hit game "Angry Birds" could cause the group establishing an animation studio rivalling global giant Walt Disney.
Rovio leader Mikael Hed told AFP that this animated 3D film, that could not reach cinemas till the summer of 2016, can result in the corporation establishing an animated movie studio that might contend with California-based Walt Disney Animation Studios.
"If the goes perfectly, it is exactly what will probably happen. Certainly i am structuring this in such a way in order that it depends for many people to keep to make more movies after that one," he explained.
"In March, we will start rolling out our worldwide number of short animations, that is available through digital and traditional channels."
Rovio is aiming high while using the film version with the smartphone game, hiring John Cohen, producer of computer-animated comedy "Despicable Me" to make it, and David Maisel, former chairman of Marvel Studios, just as one executive producer.
The 3D film is financed mostly from the company itself to be sure it's complete control within the output.
"It comes down to creative control resulting in the financial upside also," said Hed.
"We've a powerful balance sheet ourselves and so partly paying it from my own cash balance and partly through regular movie financing instruments."
The organization, which like Nokia relies in Espoo outside Helsinki, is just not worried that involvement in "Angry Birds" may have cooled off when of the release, almost four years from now.
"We're accomplishing this much round the 'Angry Birds' to be a franchise that we are without doubt we won't disappear in the spotlight fo the time being," he was quoted saying.
