Invinciball thinks he doesn't need to be part of a team.

2D animation about sporting aliens the Likeaballs. Invinciball thinks he's a better footballer than the other Likeaballs, and decides he doesn't need to be part of a team.

2D animation. Travelling through space after their home planet was destroyed, ball shaped aliens the Likeaballs compete in sporting challenges, whilst promoting hard work and fair play and team spirit. However renegade group The Dislikeaballs are out to beat The Likeaballs - just once - using any evil method they can think of. Join in the fun as the Likeaballs play against a range of different alien teams including Rock Creatures, Blobs and Weedy Geeks.

Invinciball thinks he's a better footballer than the other Likeaballs, and decides that his individual skills are better than others playing on his team. When they criticise him for not passing the ball, he uses his 'Shield of Criticism' to divert that criticism into space where they collide with Count Horriball with unexpected results. Eventually, the others show him that playing as a team is far more successful in the end. However it's his unique ability to 'surf' through the sky on his shield that leads to him saving the Dislikeaball's from crashing their screw-ship and becoming a real hero.
