"The screenshot my little sister provided declared that ANDRE IGUODALA IS IGGY THE REF, a zebra, which was burying the lede. As it turned out, not only is Andre Iguodala Iggy the ref, but Stephen Curry (on top of producing the movie) is Lenny Williamson the giraffe, Nicola Coughlan is Olivia Burke the ostrich, and Gabrielle Union is Jett Fillmore the black panther."
"The three of us were the only childless adults over the age of 20 in the theater. The previews advertised such movies as an uncanny valley Cat in the Hat adaptation; The Super Mario Galaxy Movie; another animated joint, The Pout-Pout Fish, starring Nick Offerman as the Pout-Pout Fish; and The Sheep Detectives."
"I am choosing not to have many opinions about the movie itself, which was animated very charmingly and told a classic sports tale about dreaming big, paced like 20 music videos stitched together. I can say that I was never bored. Also, I did learn a lot of facts, some of them about animals, and all of which I now take as fundamental truth."
Goat is an animated sports movie featuring NBA players voicing animal characters, including Andre Iguodala as a zebra referee, Stephen Curry as a giraffe producer, and other athletes as various animals. The film tells a classic underdog sports story about pursuing big dreams with charming animation and a fast-paced structure resembling connected music videos. The movie targets a young audience, as evidenced by the theater demographics and children's post-screening discussions. Despite not being aimed at adult viewers, the film maintains engagement through its visual style and narrative, while also incorporating animal facts that viewers absorb as part of the viewing experience.
