Soccer came to animation at last
12 June 2014
It was needed a team of Argentinians and Spaniards to make an animation movie whose theme is football (soccer), their favourite game. And at right moment they did it because this movie is rather good in all aspects to begin with the story itself, a fight between force and justice. It has managed to give life in an excellent way to a group of those puppets of table football which are very common at public places where soccer is popular. The facial features and moves of all characters are very expressive and meaningful in terms of emotions and sentiments. Of course this is more a movie to be seen by adults than by children since is more dramatic than funny though not particularly heavy. It's the story of a bully who uses his force to humiliate the hero by all means because the latter once won a table football match to him and he wants the former's gf too. A goody movie pleasant to watch for the story and the lively images and scenes. And the sound track is unusually good with classical music by Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner among others.
