Win or Lose marks a new stage for Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, already well known for their work at Pixar Studios. This animated comedy, aimed at the whole family, tells the story of the preparations for a championship game for a co-ed college softball team, the Pickles. But instead of focusing solely on the sporting action, the series adopts an original narrative angle: each episode presents the perspective of a different character, whether a player, a parent or even an umpire.
With dynamic visuals and a unique animation style in every episode, this series promises to explore the emotions, challenges and hilarious little moments of everyday life. Will Forte, known for his inimitable sense of humor, lends his voice to one of the main characters, joined by Kyliegh Curran(Doctor Sleep) and Izaac Wang(Good Boys).
Win or Lose will be broadcast on Disney+ from February 19, 2025.
Synopsis: The Pickles are the college's co-ed softball team. In a week's time, they'll be playing in a championship game. Each episode will feature - in its own visual style - a different character's point of view on the eve of the game, be they players, parents or umpires.
Win or Lose is aimed at families and viewers who appreciate stories with multiple reading levels. Younger viewers will enjoy the Pickles' energy and the colorful world of the series, while parents will appreciate the subtle humor and universal themes of team spirit, perseverance and intergenerational relationships.
The narrative format, which changes point of view with each episode, could appeal to fans of series such as Rêves Productions or Modern Family, where the emphasis is on different ways of perceiving the same situation. Sports fans will also find much to like in this dive into the heart of softball, a sport as yet little represented in animated series.
However, those looking for a linear series focused solely on sporting competition may be surprised by the more introspective and humorous approach of Win or Lose.
With Win or Lose, Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates offer a refreshingly original animated series, ideal for family evenings. Its blend of sport, humor and emotion, supported by endearing characters and varied visual styles, makes it a must-see experience for fans of heartfelt, entertaining storytelling.
