Synopsis: From Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and the artists that made KPop Demon Hunters, comes GOAT, an original action-comedy set in an all-animal world.
The story follows Will, a small goat with big dreams who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball — a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Will’s new teammates aren’t thrilled about having a little goat on their roster, but Will is determined to revolutionize the sport and prove once and for all that “smalls can ball!”
The film’s voice roster features Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things) as Will; Gabrielle Union (Being Mary Jane) as Jett, the black leopard star player; Stephen Curry (Mr. Throwback) as Lenny the giraffe; Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton) as Olivia the ostrich; Nick Kroll (Big Mouth) as Modo the Komodo dragon; David Harbour (Stranger Things) as Archie; Jenifer Lewis (Spellbound) as Thorns team owner Florence Everson; Aaron Pierre (Mufasa: The Lion King), Patton Oswalt (The Sandman) as Coach Dennis; Andrew Santino (Royal Crackers); Bobby Lee (MADtv); Eduardo Franco (Gabby’s Dollhouse); Sherry Cola (Good Trouble); hip hop/country artist Jelly Roll; and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls).
GOAT is directed by Tyree Dillihay (Bob’s Burgers, Good Times) and co-directed by Adam Rosette (story artist on Dog Man, The Wild Robot, The Bad Guys), from a screenplay by Aaron Buchsbaum & Teddy Riley — inspired by the book Funky Dunks by Chris Tougas. Producers are Michelle Raimo Kouyate, Rodney Rothman, Adam Rosenberg, Stephen Curry and Erick Peyton. Executive producers are Rick Mischel and Fonda Snyder.
