Daisy Duck Hits Sidelines When ESPN Shows Animated Knicks Vs. Spurs NBA Game on Christmas Day
ESPN will present an animated version of a Christmas Day NBA game between the Knicks and the Spurs and stream it on Disney+
Meanwhile, Daisy will work with Drew Carter and Monica McNutt,, two ESPN mainstays who will call the game and be animated in the style of the telecast while wearing special virtual-reality headgear so they can watch the contest as viewers are. Disney and ESPN, meanwhile, have aired a broadcast of an NHL match-up that used animated figures from “Big City Greens,” and in 2021 tested a game using Marvel characters that kids could play as they watched an NBA contest between the Golden State Warriors and the New Orleans Pelicans. An animated version of a Sunday-morning game between the Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars broadcast from Wembley Stadium in London last year utilized “Toy Story” characters such as Woody, Buzz, Bo Peep, Bullseye and Slinky Dog.
