Leading Barcelona-based indie studio Filmax has unveiled the teaser for its soccer-themed 3D animated feature “Robotia” ahead of its Nov. 29 presentation at Ventana Sur’s Animation! buyers showcase.
In “Robotia,” machines that are interconnected through recycled parts, live, dream, learn and play together. Young Alex and Bibi, unaware of their shared origins, face different situations. Alex has a damaged foot; Bibi, made from the same parts, enjoys a privileged life. Despite parental objections, Bibi secretly plays soccer with Alex and their friends. When discovered, Bibi is forbidden to play, but the gang isn’t keen to lose, not only one of their best players, but also one of their best friends. Alex poses as a gym teacher and finds out that all the girls in her class, not just Bibi, love soccer. Together, they defy expectations, showcasing their abilities and teaching valuable lessons to their naysayers.
