“You’re never too small to dream big.” Sony Pictures has debuted the first look teaser trailer for GOAT, an animated movie from their award-winning studio Sony Pictures Animation. This one is produced by famous basketball player Steph Curry, inspired by his experiences on the court playing in the NBA. Another animal world movie just like Disney’s Zootopia! In this movie, they don’t actually play “basketball” they play a game called “roarball” 🏀 – a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals. A determined undersized goat defies expectations by joining an elite team in roarball – a dangerous sport where animals compete on hazardous, ever-changing courts. With his diverse teammates, he must prove he belongs in the fierce League. With the voices of Caleb McLaughlin as Will, Gabrielle Union, Stephen Curry as Lenny, Nicola Coughlan as Olivia, plus Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Jenifer Lewis, Aaron Pierre, Patton Oswalt, Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, Eduardo Franco, Sherry Cola, Jelly Roll, and Jennifer Hudson. Arriving in theaters in February 2026 next year – kicking off the marketing early.
