"Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... While it might not be the slam-dunk everyone aimed for, GOAT, a bustling animated venture that's co-produced by the Warriors Stephen Curry (who also voices a giraffe) and hails from the the Unanimous Media company he co-founded, succeeds where it needs to as family entertainment for aspiring athletes. They're the target audience and they'll eat this up."
"Directors Tyree Dillihay and Adam Rosette, along with a trio of screenwriters and a team of animators, whip up an extra-busy Zootopia-like world called Vineland where behind-in-his-rent goat Will (Caleb McLaughlin) earns a fast break when an unscrupulous owner warthog Florence Everson (Jenifer Lewis) puts him on the team of his dreams, the Thorns. Will's short stature and lack of experience irks his idol Jett Filmore (Gabrielle Union, doing some complex voice acting), the Thorns' aging star player."
GOAT is an animated family sports film set in Vineland, a bustling, Zootopia-like city. The story follows behind-in-his-rent goat Will (Caleb McLaughlin), who earns a spot on the Thorns after unscrupulous owner Florence Everson (Jenifer Lewis) recruits him. Will's short stature and inexperience strain his relationship with idol and aging star Jett Filmore (Gabrielle Union). Directors Tyree Dillihay and Adam Rosette combine energetic roarball sequences—a hybrid of Rollerball and basketball—with quieter character moments focusing on strengths, hopes, faults and fears. The ensemble voice cast includes Stephen and Ayesha Curry, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan, David Harbour, Nick Kroll and more. Running time is 100 minutes and rating is PG.
