GOAT follows Will Harris, an anthropomorphic goat who lands a shot at roarball — a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport where the competition runs bigger, faster, and fiercer than he does. The film is about wanting in to a world that wasn't built for you, and what you're willing to do once you're there. If that push against the odds resonates, the same current runs through sports drama, animal-ensemble stories, and underdog narratives across every medium.
Goat is a 2026 American animated sports comedy film produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, Unanimous Media, and Modern Magic.

Gabrielle Union, Aaron Pierre, Nicola Coughlan, David Harbour, Nick Kroll, Jenifer Lewis, Patton Oswalt, Jelly Roll, Wayne Knight, Adam Pally, Jennifer Hudson, Sherry Cola, Eduardo Franco, Andrew Santino, and Bobby Lee also star, alongside basketball player Stephen Curry in his film debut.
