An all-star team assembles for the basketball game of a lifetime on the new character posters for Sony’s GOAT!
Are you ready to meet the new GOAT? Sony Pictures Animation has just dropped a treasure trove of character posters for the new all-action animated flick, GOAT. The new comedy follows a young underdog called Will who dreams of conquering Roarball – a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. There’s only one problem: the young underdog is a small goat with nothing more than big dreams. So can this young dreamer overcome the odds, win over his teammates, and rise to the top of Roarball? With a team packed with some of the most robust creatures in the animal kingdom, I’d say he’s got every chance.
But who are these incredible Roarball players? Join us as we unpack this catalog of character posters below.
CHARACTER POSTERS
SYNOPSIS
From Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, 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 revolutionise the sport and prove once and for all that “smalls can ball!”
CAST & CREW
Tyree Dillihay and Adam Rosette direct this visually impressive new animated adventure, which features an outstanding ensemble cast. Alongside Caleb McLaughlin, who voices Will, the film stars Gabrielle Union, Stephen Curry, Nicola Coughlan, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Jenifer Lewis, Aaron Pierre, Patton Oswalt, Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, Eduardo Franco, Sherry Cola, Jelly Roll, and Jennifer Hudson.
The film is produced by Michelle Raimo Kouyate, Stephen Curry, Erick Peyton, Adam Rosenberg, and Rodney Rothman. Rick Mischel and Fonda Snyder serve as the film’s Executive Producers.
RELEASE
With its impressive animation style and incredible cast, GOAT appears to be on course to become another banger for Sony Pictures Animation. Like the Spider-Verse movies, the animation style is clean and crisp, and the storyline is another rags-to-riches story we can all rally behind. We all love an underdog story, and Sony is unearthing the mother of all underdog stories. Especially one boasting the talents of Jelly Roll and David Harbour, I mean, come on!
