Disney+ has confirmed exclusive streaming of ‘The First Slam Dunk’ on June 10th.

‘The First Slam Dunk’, which attracted 4.87 million domestic viewers, will be exclusively streamed on Disney+ on June 10. The new movie 'The First Slam Dunk' from the all-time legend 'Slam Dunk' that transcends time and generation is a work that depicts the dreams, passion, and unstoppable challenges of the five members of the Buksan High School basketball team who dream of national domination. This work is centered on the round of 32 match between the basketball teams of Kanagawa Prefecture's representative Buksan High School and Ikita Prefecture's representative Sanwang Technical High School, which participated in the National High School Basketball Championship.

In particular, this game scene was completed using 3D and CG animation techniques, completely captivating the hearts of viewers by providing an exciting and realistic look as if watching an actual basketball game, from the facial expressions that clearly convey the emotions of the characters. In addition, as Takehiko Inoue, the original author of 'Slam Dunk', directly participated in directing and writing, it delivers even more special enjoyment by including behind-the-scenes stories that were not seen in the original and a new appearance of No. 1 guard Song Tae-seop.

The poster and trailer released together capture the passionate moments of the five members of Buksan High School, drawing attention. The trailer leaves a unique impression by showing everything from his childhood to his growth as a member of Buksan High School's basketball team, along with Song Tae-seop's narration, "The only thing I could rely on and lean on was basketball." In addition, as Mr. Ahn said, “This is Tae-seop’s stage,” the dazzling narrative of ‘Song Tae-seop’, who has a complex of being short but overcomes this with his passion for basketball and infinite effort, is fully contained, making fans’ hearts beat.

‘The First Slam Dunk’ will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+ on June 10th.
