Synopsis:

From Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse and the artists that made KPop Demon Hunters, 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 revolutionize the sport and prove once and for all that “smalls can ball!”

For a decade, maybe more, the animated look and aesthetic established by “Toy Story” in 1995 gave the Pixar movies their eye-popping surface wonder. What we quickly came to think of as the Pixar house style totally ruled — as digitally animated artistry, and as commerce. So it was no big surprise to see that it spread.

In essence, the Pixar style, that tactile bubble sheen of reality, became the mode of all mainstream Hollywood studio animation. And when then happened, it ceased to be exciting. There were still many good animated features, but the look and feel of them became standard, comparable to how the hand-drawn animated aesthetic of Walt Disney, so glorious in the era of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” and “Pinocchio” and “Fantasia” and “Bambi,” came to seem less magical in the age of “Cinderella” and “Peter Pan.”
