Toy Story Funday Football

Wow, what a FANTASTIC and intelligent idea. This is why the NFL is the best run sports league,,the forward thinking. This is SUCH a great way to bring in a new crowd, a younger crowd amd a crowd that may not necessarily love football. I mean, NONE of my girls like football, they dont understand it, weren't super exposed to it growing up (at least my wife amd eldest daughter weren't) and they prefer basketball, but both my daughters watched with me, and the eldest one (22) actually sat and watched the ENTIRE game with me!!! And even said, "if football was like this every time, I'd probably watch and care a lot more about it." Bravo NFL, get the technical difficulties worked out and this is an absolute home run, er I mean touchdown!

I have no idea who asked for this or thought this was a good idea, bit they should be fired and this mistake should never be repeated.

The animations were ugly and glitchy, the commentary felt forced and the whole thing was very uncanny. Even the game itself was just poorly displayed.

I can only ask: Why Disney? Why? This wasn't a crossover we needed. You didn't have to do this to us. Sometimes it's a good idea to just think about stuff a little bit longer before you decide to do it.

The image of Woody creepily dancing on the sideline is burned into my retina forever... I can never sleep again.

Toy Story Funday Football is a crazy concept Disney has come up with in order to continue milking the franchise for every dollar it has left (as they are making a fifth movie, which people are not excited for as it is unnecessary, just like Toy Story 4). Basically, while Nickelodeon does its own simulcast of NFL games by adding visual effects, this one goes the extra mile.

Taking the game between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Week 4 of the 2023-2024 NFL season, Funday Football is a simulcast on Disney+ and ESPN+ where Disney does the impossible: they have the game set in Andy's Room, and the game plays exactly like the real deal, play-for-play. Sadly, the animation is not too good, as since this is the first time, there are a lot of errors and technical difficulties, as the animation is off (the plays are not focused on, sometimes, the character models clip through characters like poor Slinky Dog, and the fact that some of the models for the football players get twitchy and looking like they came out of a PS2 video game). Also, the special does have some continuity errors, even for a special that is not really canon to the films (While I can understand Andy's Room being the setting, why are toys like Ducky, Bunny, and even Duke Caboom doing there, since they were introduced after he left for college?)

Kids will be liking this, as the game has Toy Story characters watching the game, Duke Caboom does a halftime show, and in parts of the game, the commentators teach kids about how football works as well as the various fouls, this is all it is: a simulcast aimed at kids in order to get them into football while trying to continue cashinh on a frachise that many fans felt has gone past its prime.
