For the first time in over 8 years, Sony Pictures Animation released an original animated movie in theaters called GOAT. In this review, I’ll be looking into their version of Zootopia, but with a basketball twist does have what it takes to ball, but it clearly wishes that it could be a little bit taller like the studio’s other features like the Spider-Verse films and KPop Demon Hunters.

I’m giving Goat a 6/10 the movie never felt like it had any stakes. Will never felt like he had any kind of an arc, none of the characters except for Jett did honestly. The movie would’ve been so much better if they had actually shown Will struggling and having to work to achieve his dreams. But the movie never does that so it just ends up making the movie and the characters feel bland because it doesn’t feel like there’s anything to root for, i won’t go into too much detail about the ending. But this was a very disappointing movie

I remember discussing this with Animated Antic after seeing the film but I wanna point something out with the characters - Jett is the story here like, Will is fine, but he doesn’t have an arc, but Jett does - the film would’ve been a little better if she was the lead and Will was a deuteragonist

Yeah, I don’t think I’m missing much by not seeing this. No matter how much it uses the animation style from Sony’s recent animated successes like Spider-verse and KPop Demon Hunters, it’s still not going to look appealing to me or convince me to see this in theaters. Also, of course they had to use the dead mom trope in this film. I swear that trope has been overused in many animated films, and the film itself using it isn’t helping its standing with me.

Supporting original animated films matter for it to do well in theaters

I like Goat. I think it a solid film. I first saw the movie in early screening at a different city though I was worry that I wouldn’t make it in time due to snow storm it made here in my NC home state. Twice to be honest but thankfully, it melted just in time for me to drive to the theater safely on the road. After seeing it, I think it good. While I don’t think it as amazing or great compared Sony Animation recent films like the Spiderverse films, Mitchells Vs the Machines, or last year with KPop Demon Hunters due to a formulaic story and weak writing as a sports film. Also, the main character, Will, is kinda a bland protagonist who isn’t as interesting compared to others like Miles Morales, Katie Mitchell, or Rumi as I do feel like this movie is more about Jett Fillmore than Will as she seems more interesting character than Will. And yeah the humor can be hit or miss too. Despite those issues, I enjoyed thanks to the animation, basketball scenes, world building of Goat, voice acting, some of the heart, and characters which the latter is biggest one that really won me over as I do love the characters like Jett Fillmore as she is my favorite character of the film alongside Mane Attraction and Modo the Komodo Dragon. I also like the soundtrack too as grew with me over time too. Given Stephen Curry is one of the producing of this film, at least it better than what LeBron James did with Space Jam: A New Legacy. I think everyone should go see it in theaters if you can if you want to support original animated films but at the same time, don’t think too much about Zootopia. Because obviously, it not trying to be Zootopia while finding it a bit unfair given that it aimed for a different audiences besides animation and furry fans like basketball and black audiences. Even the themes is more about passing the torch to one generation to another as seen with Jett Fillmore’s character arc. It like trying to compare Sing from Illumination to Zootopia except it not trying to be like that film. I’m supporting it because of the animation talents behind it, it has disability actors voicing in this that Sony is partnering up led by the actor who played Lego Spider-Man in Across the Spiderverse, good relatable character including the aardwolf named Hannah which I actually like in my opinion, and proving studios like Sony that audiences do show for original movies. It nearly beat Wuthering Heights at the box office because of strong word of mouth so I hope you guys at least support original animated films in theaters regardless of the quality that they present. Just ignore the Zootopia comparison and just have a good time with the movie.

Maybe I'll still check this out in theatres, but I'm in no rush, and I'm not setting my expectations high.

Well, I’m going to see Hoppers next month with my older brother. We’ll both support that film to do well in theaters and give original Pixar films some revenue to make up for their previous original film Elio doing poorly at the the box-office last year.
