Iceland’s Euro 2016 run has been made into a brilliant ‘Disney’ trailer

The fairy tale lives on...

Shame on you, France.

Sure, you might be more concerned with winning Euro 2016 in your own back yard but in reaching the semi-finals, you’ve gone and ruined the Icelandic fairy tale, you cold-hearted bastards.

Lars Lagerbach’s boys have touched down back in Reykjavik following their 5-2 beating in Paris the other night, but they’ve certainly left their mark on the first major football tournament the nation took part in.

From soul-stirring Viking claps to that crazy-bastard commentator, Iceland captured the hearts of many a football fan as they reached the last eight of the competition – inflicting the most embarrassing defeat of all time on England in the process.

Although they’ll play no part in the tournament’s final three matches, they can at least take comfort from the fact that their memorable adventure has been turned into a Disney-esque movie trailer.

Uploaded by YouTuber oskararnarson, we absolutely love the American voice that can be heard narrating – especially because he calls it ‘football’. 

As much as we’d love to think that Walt Disney had forked out a sizeable amount to make it into a full blown movie, something tells us that the individual responsible for this is working independently. Which is a damn shame.
