Nope, it’s not the multimillion Saladin animation… it’s the “Football Kids” (Bola Kampung) that made it into Disney Channel instead.

Honestly I have never heard of this company or anime prior to this news…

Animasia Studio’s 26-episode FOOTBALL KIDS, the first Malaysian animated series to crack the international broadcast network, will begin airing in 16 countries on the Disney Channel in November 2007.

Football Kids tells the story of a group of children with a passion for football and dreams of being on the winning team of their school and their district. Along the way, they discover that football also teaches them about teamwork, friendship and sportsmanship. Set in the environment of a small village, the multiracial character-driven animation targets all age levels. [AWN]

Congratulations to Animasia Studio… and I like the fact that it’s a Malaysian themed story that is chosen.

    Hey, guys, great works. I’ve been watching the animation and i really like it. Maybe if you want to do some more animations for Disney Channel and by any chance, you’re needing a voice over actress, mail me. I’m really hoping for those kinda stuffs. I really love animations and Disney. Anyway, u rock!!

    MALAYSIA BOLEH!!
