Tabletop football - this may be a familiar toy for many people, but when this group of little people who are fixed on iron rods are resurrected, what kind of surprises will they bring? "Challenger League" is an imaginative animated film based on these snooker villains. It can only be said that only a country that really loves football can connect fairy tales and football so well.


In the face of the little-known Spanish and Argentine animation co-production, I never thought that this work would bring such a surprise at the beginning of the film. The content of the story is full of tension and full of passion for football. Thanks to the excellent scheduling control ability of Spanish national treasure director Juan José Campanella, who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for his "Mysterious Eyes", he opened the chapter with flashbacks. The fairy-tale story of his father was brought into the plot as a guide, and the story of Amadeo, a young table football master who tried to save the town, was unfolded. The story with the billiard villain was full of fun, and the ending was unexpected and reasonable. What makes people gain is a sincere warmth and touching. The overall structure of the film is in the same line, so that the film has a very high degree of completion, just like a beautiful shooting attack in the flowing water.


Talking about the film, another character that has to be mentioned is Gio Pablos, the father of Minions who is still popular all over the world in "Despicable Me", and he played the role in "Contenders". The role of the producer, if the director Juan forged the film's outstanding plot, then Gio gave the movie a phase, and the group of occasionally cute and cute billiards is definitely another magic stroke of Gio, because when When you see this movie, you must be able to vaguely find the Minions from this group of lovely football teenagers, and the technical support provided by the Hollywood team has also created quite brilliant light and shadow special effects in terms of scene quality. Its strict attention to detail, whether it is the rust spots on the billiard villain, the delicate hair, or the vivid and natural facial expressions, all make the film technically unbiased.


"Challenger League" has the passion of Spain, strong regional customs and football creeds of Argentina, and the support of American Hollywood animation technology and characterization. football fairy tale. (Reprint must indicate: the original author Mengli Poetry Book)

    Narrator: At the dawn of time, a profound discovery was made about our planet. It was boring. But boredom makes you think. And thinking gives you ideas. And what was the first idea? I'll tell you what the first idea was. "Must... kick... ball." Soccer made us compete. And soccer made us work together. More or less. In other words, it made us... human. Soccer isn't just a game. It's who we are.
