Queen legend Freddie Mercury has been turned into an Angry Bird for a new cartoon. Watch the video below.

The animation, which depicts a trademark yellow bird with a mustache and regal crown, has been created to celebrate the Queen frontman's 66th birthday.

Mercury's former bandmates Brian May and Roger Taylor organised the animation in order to raise funds for AIDS charity the Mercury Phoenix Trust.

A Freddie Mercury Angry Bird T-shirt will also be available to purchase, with some of the proceeds also going to the Mercury Phoenix Trust.

The charity has raised more than $15 million worldwide since it was started in 1992, a year after Mercury died from complications from AIDS.

The new video animation preview featuring the Mercury Angry Bird is available to watch below, and features Mercury riding a bike to the Queen track 'Bicycle Race'.

Adam Lambert, who has performed live with the other members of Queen, recently revealed that he first became a fan of Mercury while smoking marijuana.

Mercury's collaborative album with Spanish opera singer Montserrat Caballé 'Barcelona' is being re-released this week.
