The film is an Argentine production, and was released in Argentina on 18 July 2013, setting an all-time record for an Argentine film opening at the box-office.〔 Costing $21 million, the film is the most expensive Argentine film of all time, and the most expensive Latin American animated feature ever.〔 The film received indecisive and mixed reviews, with it having a 64% "Fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 14 reviews, but a 38 out of 100 based on 5 reviews on Metacritic, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews". ==Plot== The film begins with the narrator telling his son, Matías, a story before going to sleep, one where he will have to use his imagination. Many years ago, Amadeo, a timid boy, and the best foosball player around, was working in a bar in a small and quiet town. He loved Laura, a girl he met in the bar. But, she did not know. While showing Laura the foosball table, a kid named Grosso arrives and challenges Amadeo to a game of foosball in front of Laura. Although initially the kid beats him, Amadeo becomes victorious, and everyone at the bar applauds. Outside of the bar, the boy encounters a manager who offers him to take him on. Years later, Amadeo's simple routine falls apart when Grosso becomes the best football player in the world, and returns to the small town to avenge the only defeat in his life, and win the affection of Laura. Now that he is famous, Grosso announces that he has purchased the whole village and builds a gigantic football stadium, although he is more interested in owning the foosball table where he lost to Amadeo and destroying the bar where he was defeated. He also wants to win the affection of Laura. With foosball, the bar and even his soul destroyed, Amadeo discovers something magical: in the face of adversity, the town's foosball players talk and plan. Together they embark on a journey full of adventures to save Laura. Along the way, they become a real team. But in football, there is no place for miracles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Underdogs (2013 animated film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
