Avrupa Kupası 2008 maskotu
Mascots Trix and Flix have teamed up with reggae star Shaggy for a new video, Like A Superstar, to help fans get into the party mood for UEFA EURO 2008â¢.
Mascot action
The video sees Trix and Flix playing football and dancing in the mountains of Austria and Switzerland and in football stadiums, giving their growing legion of fans a chance to see the striking twosome in action. The video has been targeted at children and young people, but the organisers of UEFA EURO 2008⢠hope Trix and Flix’s signature tune will be a hit with adults too.
Infectious spirit
With the real Trix and Flix being kept busy with their commitments to promoting UEFA EURO 2008â¢, the video will help the official tournament mascots spread their passion to parts of the world they cannot visit in person. While the video amply demonstrated their footballing skills, it is also hoped that their infectious spirit will give fans a taste of the great footballing celebration to come in Austria and Switzerland this summer.
Video signatures
Produced by Swedish animators KAKTUS, the project has been in development since last summer and is expected to be the first of a number of animated clips involving Trix and Flix released as the final tournament approaches. A 20-second animation of Trix and Flix’s unforgettable goal celebration is being planned which, along with a number of other sequences, may be used in the stadiums at the finals to capture the imagination of fans and players.
