Several sub-categories of sports films can be identified, although the delineations between these subgenres, much as in live action, are somewhat fluid.
Both categories typically employ playground settings, match, game creatures and other elements commonly associated with biological stories.
Often, they feature a hero of adventure origins and a clear distinction between loss and victory set against each other in a play time struggle.
Traditionally, these films heavily rely on slapstick humor and very physical comedy, such as someone getting hurt in a comical way.
