How to watch Sunday’s Falcons vs. Jaguars NFL game animated in the style of ‘Toy Story’
This is so cool, and it’s happening this Sunday. ESPN and Disney are teaming up for a one-of-a-kind NFL experience.
While you’ve got your usual Falcons vs. Jaguars action from London happening in Week 4 on ESPN+, local channels and the NFL+ mobile app, a new twist comes from the magical world of “Toy Story.”
What’s buzzing?
Picture this: Inside Andy’s room, every move of the Falcons and Jaguars gets animated with beloved “Toy Story” characters. Each play, tackle and touchdown happens right there, transformed into the “Toy Story” universe using snazzy tech from the NFL’s Next Gen Stats and Beyond Sports — in real-time.
- On the mic: Drew Carter, Booger McFarland and a young star, 12-year-old Pepper Persley, will be the animated commentators, brought to life using motion-capture tech.
- In the room: Apart from Woody and Buzz, expect appearances from Bo Peep, Rex, Jesse and other “Toy Story” faves.
- Halftime thrills: Duke Caboom’s revving up for a motorcycle jump!
