Miami March 7 (Notistarz).- A new original animation series inspired by Argentine soccer star Lionel Messi was announced by Sony Music Entertainment.
«Since I was a child, I have always liked animated series and my children are big fans of animated characters. Being able to participate in an animation project makes me happy, because it fulfills one of my dreams”, said Lionel Messi
He thanked Sony Music for “joining this project and we hope that everyone likes the result, especially the girls and boys.”
The series, currently in development, will show “Messi as a child as he faces obstacles when traveling through a video game. Produced for children and young teens, the global series will feature original music by artists and composers from Sony Music Entertainment.”
“It is a privilege for Sony Music to collaborate with Lionel Messi on this project to demonstrate the power and teachings of sport in association with the best soccer player of all time and one of the best athletes in history,” said the executive of Sony Music, Fernando Cabral.
We look forward to bringing this moving and humbling series to screens for audiences of all ages around the world.
Messi is the only athlete in the world to have won seven Ballon d’Ors, six FIFA World Player of the Year awards, six Golden Boots and two World Cup Ballon d’Ors.
Furthermore, Messi led Argentina to win the World Cup in December 2022. Off the pitch, Messi is recognized for his sportsmanship and passion for the sport, which will be very present throughout the series.
The series will be available “in English, Spanish and other languages. Sony Music’s Premium Content Division will oversee the development and distribution of the series.”
