GOAT (The Movie)

Sony Pictures Animation, the studio that brought you the Spider-Verse and last year's megahit K-POP Demon Hunters, joined forces with NBA superstar Stephen Curry to create a coming-of-age animated sports movie about a little goat who will show us how it's done, done, done. Get it?

GOAT (The Movie)
GOAT (The Movie)

"GOAT" is a coming-of-age sports story about a young goat named Will Harris. He gains the opportunity of a lifetime by joining the renowned Roarball team, the Vineland Thorns. This development does not sit well with Jett Fillmore, a star player who is starting to show signs of aging. Despite the challenges and differences, Will proves to the Thorns that they have what it takes to win the championship.

Although it may not reach the same level of success as the studios' top works like Spider-Verse and KPDH, this fun family movie delivers an important message: it's not about how big you are, but how good you are, even in the world of basketball. While it may feel like a mashup of Zootopia and Space Jam, the themes of coming-of-age, determination, teamwork, and morale make this film unique.

If you love the Spider-Verse and K-POP Demon Hunters, but you want an inspirational sports movie that touches, consider watching GOAT. From start to finish, this is what it (ahem) sounds like. No more hiding. This animated sports movie is shining like it was born to be. Oops. Sorry.
