This weekend, the Jacksonville Jaguars will take on the Atlanta Falcons at Wembley Stadium in London for the first of this season’s International games.   And this year, Disney has teamed up with the NFL to offer a special animated version of the game that is recreated in Andy’s room, one of the movie’s most recognizable settings from the Pixar “Toy Story” franchise.

Disney has released a brand new poster for the special has been released, featuring the team’s quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence as Woody and Desmond Ridder as Buzz Lightyear.

Fans will view every run, pass, score and all football-related action through state-of-the-art tracking technology enabled by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats player tracking data and Beyond Sports. In addition to the gameplay, all the surrounding aspects of the game – announcers, graphics, scoreboard, penalty announcements, celebrations, and more – will all embrace the “Toy Story”-themed offering in their packaging and delivery, all occurring in Andy’s room.  Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky, Louis Riddick, and Laura Rutledge will be inside Wembley Stadium for the game’s call.

Woody, Buzz Lightyear and many of the characters from the acclaimed animated series will be visible throughout, participating from the sidelines and in other non-gameplay elements.

This first-of-its-kind NFL presentation is made possible by ESPN, ESPN’s Edge Innovation Center, Disney, NFL, Pixar, Next Gen Stats, Beyond Sports, and Silver Spoon.
