"Greatest of all time? No. Possibly not even the greatest of half-term. This loud, chaotic and unlovable animated kids' comedy feels as though it is bordering on AI slop, algorithmically generated and instantly familiar from Zootropolis, Sing and other movies with talking animals. It is a shame, because it has a real-life inspiration: basketball star Stephen Curry, who was repeatedly told at the start of his career that he was too skinny and too small to make it as a pro."
"Will Harris (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin) is a goat who has grown up dreaming of playing professional roarball, a fiercer and faster version of basketball. But Will is a small and roar players are all bigs powerful beasts such as rhinos and horses. Will's hero and the star of his favourite team, the Thorns, is a panther called Jet (Gabrielle Union), a champ close to retirement but determined to win the league."
Goat is a loud, chaotic animated kids' comedy that often feels algorithmically generated and familiar from other talking-animal films. The film draws on Stephen Curry as a producer and performer, reflecting his underdog origin, but it fails to deliver genuine emotion or soul. Will Harris, a small goat, dreams of playing professional roarball against powerful beasts; he earns a chance with the Thorns and faces ridicule yet persists. The movie features decent voice acting and some jokes, but overwhelming noise, deafening roarball games, constant social-media moments, and rapid scene shifts leave a headache for many viewers. Release dates: 13 February (UK/US) and 26 March (Australia).
