​Barcelona in cartoon talks!

Barcelona are in talks with Disney-owned animation studio Pixar over a feature-length film about the club, according to Rac1 radio's Rocco Steinhäuser, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/.

Steinhäuser reports that the La Liga outfit are discussing an animated film designed for a full theatrical release, as opposed to a television or streaming service release.

Details about the plot were not concrete but according to the report, rather than just a Camp Nou history lesson, the concept involves a film where the club are at the centre of the narrative.

"Right now they are negotiating with American directors to carry out an animated movie," Steinhäuser said.

He added: "There are contacts between Barça managers and Pixar. We are not talking about a small producer. It's Walt Disney."
