'GOAT' is the latest animated film by Sony Pictures Animation, featuring a goat named Will Harris, voiced by Caleb McLaughlin. The film presents a whimsical storyline where Will, despite being a small animal, dreams of becoming a roarball player, a more intense version of basketball. Idolatry of Jett Fillmore, a prestigious black panther player, drives Will to strive for greatness, moving on from his mundane job as a delivery goat. The film contrasts his ambitions with the challenges he faces in a world dominated by larger animals.

In a significant moment in the film, Will decides to challenge the top player of a rival team, Mane Attraction. Despite losing the one-on-one match, Will impresses many with his tenacity and spirit, leading him to go viral and capture the attention of influential figures in the roarball community, including Florence Everson, the owner of his hometown team, the Thorns. Will's journey is marked by themes of determination and aspiration, echoing the popular narrative of chasing dreams against all odds.

The review compares 'GOAT' favorably to 'Zootopia,' noting that while both films tackle themes of ambition and societal roles, 'GOAT' brings a fresh perspective with its comedic elements and lovable characters. The film is positioned to resonate with audiences familiar with the struggles of aspiring athletes, making it not just a children's film, but a story that appeals to all ages with its heartwarming message.
