As part of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Disney has released a first look at an upcoming animated series called “Dragon Striker”, which will be coming to the Disney Channel and Disney+.

In an elite academy where sports and magic combine, farm boy Key discovers his ultrapowerful natural talent and learns he may be destined to become the legendary Dragon Striker. He joins the fierce goalkeeper Ssyelle to form a scrappy team of underdogs who take on the school champions. As Key struggles to control the raging dragon inside him and Ssyelle captains the team to a series of upset victories, they learn dark secrets of the past and uncover an ancient evil that threatens them all.

The upcoming new series will also be highlighted at a Studio Focus panel taking place during the Annecy Animation Festival on Tuesday, 10th June 2025, where the creative team will take the audience on a journey through the artistic process of creating this epic fantasy adventure and share an exclusive first look at finished animation.

Check out this first look at “Dragon Striker”:

“Dragon Striker” has been produced by La Chouette Compagnie for Disney Branded Television.  It has been co-created and executive produced by Sylvain Dos Santos Martins Rodrigues.  Charles Lefebvre is also a co-creator of the show and is the director.

The reveal was made at the Annecy Animation Film Festival in France, with Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television, saying in a statement:

“Annecy is the perfect backdrop to showcase the creative ambition and global strength of our kids’ animation slate.  From bold new originals like ‘Sam Witch’ to fresh seasons of beloved hits like ‘Marvel’s Spidey and his Amazing Friends’ and ‘SuperKitties’ to our growing lineup of original shorts, we’re building a strong lineup anchored by the world’s most beloved characters and designed for how kids watch today.”
