From Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind hits like Spider‑Man: Across the Spider‑Verse, comes a bold new action‑comedy with heart. GOAT, an original animated movie set in an all‑animal world, arrives in theaters next year. It tells a story that struck a personal chord with one of its stars: Stephen Curry.
The film follows a small goat named Will. He gets a once‑in‑a‑lifetime chance to play in a high‑intensity, full‑contact sport called roarball. The challenge? Will is tiny, living in a world dominated by the fastest and fiercest animals. However, he is determined to prove that “smalls can ball.” As a result, Will sets out to challenge expectations and change the game.
This journey resonated deeply with Curry. He not only voices a character named Lenny but also serves as a producer on GOAT. In addition, Curry worked closely with the creative team to shape the film’s themes of resilience and teamwork. Therefore, the story reflects lessons he has learned throughout his career.
“Coming up through basketball, I was a lot like Will — being underrated became my superpower,” Curry said. “And believing in yourself — that’s how heroes get it done.”
Directed by Tyree Dillihay and co‑directed by Adam Rosette, GOAT promises a thrilling adventure filled with humor, heart, and an empowering message. The film also features a stacked cast: Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, Nicola Coughlan, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Jenifer Lewis, Aaron Pierre, Patton Oswalt, and Jennifer Hudson. In addition, the vibrant animation and fast‑paced action make GOAT a must‑see for families, sports fans, and anyone who loves a great underdog story.
Below is a brand‑new video vignette featuring Stephen Curry discussing his personal connection to GOAT.
