Teaser Trailer for Juan Jose Campanella’s Animated Film FOOSBALL

A short yet intriguing teaser trailer has hit the web for Academy Award-winning director Juan Jose Campanella’s animated film Foosball. Campanella is best known for the Argentine crime thriller The Secret in Their Eyes, but he’s taken on animation for his latest project. The film apparently “follows an underdog who, with the help of foosball figures that come to life, must take on a star soccer pro to save their village.” The story is fun enough, but it’s the animation here that really catches my eye. I like the feel of the foosball players and I’m eager to see more from this curious little pic. The film is apparently in Spanish, but this teaser features an English (specifically British) voiceover.

Hit the jump to watch the teaser. No word on when we’ll get to see the film stateside, but hopefully sometime this year.
