Will is a little goat with big dreams who gets a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the pros and play rugby, a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the world's fastest and fiercest animals. Will's new teammates aren't thrilled to have a little goat on their squad, but Will is determined to revolutionize the sport and prove once and for all that 'little guys can play!'.

	Media	Author	Review
		Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"A Vivid and Amusing Animated Sports Fable (...) plenty of fun (...) The hyperkinetic animation style bears no small similarity to Sony’s Spider-Verse hits"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A vibrant surprise. It’s a highly original and rousing animated feature -- a sports fable with a hip-hop vibe and an off-kilter cosmology."
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"There are some decent jokes, but they are lost in all the noise (...) The only thing that lingers after leaving the cinema is a headache. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jesse Hassenger AV Club	"It's not as inventive as Sony-produced films like 'KPop Demon Hunters', but it's a sweet-natured and fun-enough kids' movie."
		Brandon Yu The New York Times	"It’s a story with few surprises and mostly rudimentary emotional concepts, but is enlivened by artwork with colorful texture and a dynamic animation style"
		Gregory Nussen Screen Rant	"Stephen Curry's Inclusive, Richly Animated Basketball Film Soars Above its Conventional Rim (...) Rating: 7 (out of 10)"
		John Nugent Empire	"Visually, it’s strong. (...) The screenplay is just nowhere near as sharp as the animation (...) Credulous kids of a certain age will be happy enough with it. But we’ve come to expect more from this lot. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Pete Hammond Deadline	"Sony Animation’s Lively And Fun Sports Comedy Scores Big Points For A Creature Cast To Remember"
		Nate Richard Collider	"Young fans of the sport will surely eat 'Goat' up, but parents will also find enough to enjoy. It's got the heart, humor, and wonderful animation to keep you entertained this holiday weekend. (...) Rating: 7 (out of 10)"
		Nell Minow rogerebert.com	"Vibrant artwork and a dynamic camera are more memorable than the generic character designs, not to mention the familiar storyline about doing what it takes to achieve your dreams (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		William Bibbiani The Wrap	"The concept of 'Goat' may be cheesy, but Dillihay’s film is, appropriately, all about not judging books by their covers (...) [It] is visually stimulating, subtly progressive, and genuinely well-told"
		San Francisco Chronicle	"A disappointing air ball"
		Steve Seigh JoBlo	"Lace up your kicks and get your kids to the theater this February for a bit of one-on-one with an animated film that’s got heart and energy to spare. (...) Rating: 8 (out of 10)"
