GOAT (PG) Film Review from LondonNet
Goats have had a glow-up. There was a time when being called a goat was an insult: maybe you could be a lascivious and lustful old man, or a patsy chosen to take the blame for a terrible outcome that was none of your fault. Now, being a goat is a glittering badge of honour – the greatest of all time in a chosen field…
Tyree Dillihay and Adam Rosette’s computer-animated coming-of-age story chronicles the rise to fame of a humble goat with a big heart and lofty ambitions in a basketball-type competition called roarball, which allows environmental factors to impact gameplay. Thus, a team called Magma plays on a court made of polygonal pillars of cooled lava that rise and fall without warning.
Teenage Boer goat Will Harris (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin) has been an ardent fan of roarball since he was a billy. He is a passionate supporter of the Vineland Thorns and their star player, black panther Jett Fillmore (Gabrielle Union). Will practices his roarball skills as a diner delivery driver but doesn’t earn enough to make rent and bigger animals muscle him off the neighbourhood’s practice court. “Smalls can’t ball,” growls one chest-puffing bully.
The Thorns hit a bad run of form and warthog owner Florence Everson (Jenifer Lewis) agrees to do whatever it takes to turn fortunes around. She sees a viral video of Will outperforming Jett’s sworn rival Mane Attraction (Aaron Pierre) and invites the rookie to join the ranks. “I think you might be a two-horned unicorn!” gushes Florence. The youngster is inducted by proboscis monkey coach Dennis Cooper (Patton Oswalt) and trains alongside rhinoceros Archie Everhardt (David Harbour), giraffe Lenny Williamson (Stephen Curry), Komodo dragon Modo Olachenko (Nick Kroll) and ostrich Olivia Burke (Nicola Coughlan). However, Will’s idol Jett is less than thrilled by his appointment.
GOAT is a familiar tale of sporting underdogs (and other species), festooned with anthropomorphic critters and sight gags rooted in animals’ personalities, which will be comfortingly familiar to fans of Zootropolis and its sequel. Eye-catching visuals are a slam dunk, adopting a similar painterly aesthetic to Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse. Screenwriters Aaron Buchsbaum and Teddy Riley double dribble around familiar themes of grief, self-doubt and jealousy, building to an inevitable championship match showdown that delivers the film’s key message: teamwork requires compromise, trust and sacrifice.
The only surprise of Dillihay and Rosette’s film is how long it takes for stubbornness to persist and lessons to be learnt, while the Thorns’ adoring fans chant, “Roots run deep!” The new kid on the animation block isn’t the GOAT but it is a contender for undemanding half-term family fun.
