Dreamkix
A farmyard football team chases a Dream League berth.
DreamKix is a South Korean CGI animated series from Designstorm Animation Studio, originally conceived as a general soccer-themed series. The show centers on a farmyard football team called Sunny Farm F.C., which aims to enter the first international "Dream League"—a tournament featuring the world's most powerful teams. The squad is made up of athletically challenged animals who, by working together, overcome their weaknesses, find their own unique talents, and become heroes both on the pitch and in everyday life.
The main character is Roy, a Dachshund who wears number 10. Despite his short legs and sausage-like body, Roy is obsessed with football and refuses to give up on his dream. He feels he must prove himself to opponents, teammates, and even his father. With help from his friends Morrie and Emily, he learns that his physique has its own advantages, especially his "tornado header"—a spinning header that strikes harder than most kicks. Roy is a natural striker who chases the ball relentlessly, which often lands him in trouble off the field as well. He has a crush on Rebecca. Roy is voiced by Michael Dobson.
Rebecca, number 11, is the fastest dog in the farmlands. Sleek and graceful, she is the opposite of a typical Sunny Farm F.C. player. She is driven to master every football skill and becomes angry with herself when she fails, though she never shows it. No one knows why this track star joined the team, but they are glad she did—especially Roy. Rebecca is voiced by Kelly Metzger.
Emily is a dairy cow who owns the team. She knows nothing about football except that sponsoring a winning team in the Dream League is the only way to save her grandfather's farm. She needs Roy as much as he needs her. Emily is an expert on animal nature, able to see past players' flaws, find their strengths, and help them develop special skills. She thinks quickly and creatively, which helps her team compete against richer clubs. Though she often needs Roy and Morrie to explain the offside rule, she is learning to love the game. Emily is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain.
Morrie, number 20, is a mole who serves as the team's coach and Roy's best friend. Because moles are sensitive to sunlight, Morrie spent his youth underground watching football matches online, becoming a soccer savant. He speaks in statistics, thinks in tactics, and can devise strategies for any situation.

Lore & Background
The series centers on Roy, a Dachshund with short stubby legs and a passion for soccer, who builds a team of athletically challenged animals. With the help of his friends Morrie, a mole and soccer savant, and Emily, a dairy cow who owns the team to save her grandfather's farm, Roy learns that his physique has strengths, particularly his 'tornado header.' The team includes characters like Rebecca, the fastest dog in the farmlands; DeSanctis Cheep, a chicken with professional experience but chronic short-term memory loss; and Byrne, a sheep raised by wolves who serves as a tough defender.
Sunny Farm F.C. competes against teams such as Savage United F.C., Megafarm F.C., and Real Amazonia F.C. The main antagonist is Peter, owner of Megafarm F.C. Leonardo, Savage United's top striker and a lion, is Roy's football hero, though the Dachshund may not like what he finds upon meeting him. Only 11 episodes were released, with no information available on the remaining 15 episodes.
