Synopsis:

"GOAT" (2026) is a sports animation produced by Sony Pictures Animation, directed by Tyree Dillihay, and produced by Stephen Curry. The story follows Will Harris, a small goat who dreams of becoming a professional roarball player, a basketball-like sport dominated by larger animals. Will has an incredible long-range shooting ability and an unyielding spirit. He joins the Vineland Thorns team and strives to prove that big dreams are not determined by physical size.

The film features dynamic visuals, fresh humor, and an inspiring message about courage, inclusivity, and diversity. "GOAT" also highlights the journey of an athlete trying to prove himself in a system not designed for him.

This film stars: Caleb McLaughlin, Gabriel Union, Stephen Curry, Aaron Pierre, David Harbour and more.

In my opinion:

I saw the credits, and Stephen Curry is involved in the production. No wonder Will is great at shooting, and Stephen also voices Lenny. I've said it before – animation is unlimited imagination, impossible, and magical. It reminds me of Space Jam, which combined basketball with animation.

Honestly, this animation is unique. At first, I was puzzled by the visuals, which seemed choppy. But then I remembered seeing something similar in a shoe commercial (I thought it was my eyes or computer). So, I'll say the visuals aren't the best, but they're different. The audio and cinematography are outstanding.

The story is predictable, so don't judge it solely on that. For me, the presentation is incredible. Besides using animals as characters, the basketball match visualization makes this film cool. Imagine each city having its own unique arena – magma, ice, forest, sky, and more.

I'm not a basketball fan, but this film made me enjoy it. Once again, an animated film has amazed me. As I write this, Super Mario Bros Galaxy is playing in theaters, and I'm eager to watch it. I'll review it soon. ADIOS!

For me this one is 8/10.
