Super Furball Scores a Goal

Supermarsu tekee maalin

Emilia hears the worst news in the world: Simo is being transfered to a new school for super brainy kids.

Then she gets some more bad news: Rasvis’ dad, a margerine manufacturer, is planning to build a new sports arena on the football pitch where apparently Emilia and her friends have no business in being. In the end, the mayor agrees to base the fate of the football pitch on a match: Rasvis’ dad’s super number one sponsored team versus Emilia and her mates.

The game is only a week away and time is running out for Emilia. Everyone on their team seems to be having problems: Antero is allergic to the ball; Ismo keeps getting the giggles; Nisu-Lissu can’t stop texting and Cherry can’t kick the ball with her curved foot. Are their problems fatal? Can Emilia’s mates pull it together? And what will happen to Emilia and Simo’s friendship?

This is an environmentally aware series whose characters — both adults and children — have a wickedly dry sense of humour. The first Super Furball movie was met with rave reviews when it was released in January 2018. It’s been a huge success, with over 100,000 people flocking to the cinema to see it!
