GOAT (2026) – A Slam-Dunk Animated Adventure About a Little Legend in a Big Game

“You’re never too small to dream big.”

🎬 From the studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

🏀 Produced by NBA legend Stephen Curry

🗓️ In Theaters: February 13, 2026

🐐 A GOAT is Born – But Not the Kind You’d Expect

Get ready to lace up and laugh out loud — the official teaser trailer for GOAT has dropped, and it’s already heating up the court! This all-animal animated sports comedy stars a determined little goat named Will Harris, voiced by Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin, who dreams of becoming the greatest of all time in the high-energy sport of roarball.

“Smalls can ball!” – Will Harris

🔥 What’s Roarball?

Think basketball meets battle royale — roarball is a co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by elite predators and tough-as-nails competitors. And smack in the middle of it all? A scrappy goat with more heart than height.

🐾 The twist? Will’s not just an underdog — he’s an under-goat, trying to survive in a league full of black panthers, komodo dragons, and rhinos who don't exactly welcome farm animals to the pro circuit.

🎤 Star-Studded Voice Cast You’ll Love

The voice lineup is stacked like an all-star team:

Caleb McLaughlin as Will, the small goat with big hoop dreams
Gabrielle Union as Jett Fillmore, a fierce black panther and Will’s idol
Stephen Curry as Lenny the Giraffe (yes, that Stephen Curry)
Nick Kroll as a fire-breathing Komodo dragon named Modo
David Harbour, Nicola Coughlan, Jenifer Lewis, Patton Oswalt, and Jennifer Hudson round out the bench — and there’s more!

Even Ayesha Curry, Jelly Roll, and Sherry Cola make appearances in the cast. It's a lineup that brings comedy, grit, and a whole lot of heart to the court.

🎨 Behind the Scenes: Who’s Making GOAT?

Directed by Tyree Dillihay (in his animated feature debut) and co-directed by Adam Rosette, GOAT is written by Aaron

Buchsbaum and Teddy Riley. The film is a collaboration between:

🏀 Unanimous Media (Stephen Curry’s own production company)
🎥 Sony Pictures Animation & Columbia Pictures
🧠 Modern Magic, the visionary team behind trippy, cutting-edge animation projects

With Clare Knight (editor of Kung Fu Panda) cutting the action, the animation promises both emotional impact and high-speed, stylized spectacle.

🤩 What the Teaser Shows

In less than two minutes, the teaser serves up:

High-flying dunks — yes, even from a goat
Intense slow-mo roarball battles
Laugh-out-loud locker room moments
And of course, the classic “rookie gets roasted” montage

“This goat? On our team?” – one skeptical rhino

But by the end of the teaser, even the doubters start to believe. Because Will isn’t just there to play — he’s here to change the game.

📆 Mark Your Calendar!

GOAT hits theaters on February 13, 2026 — just in time for Valentine’s weekend, making it the perfect mix of family-friendly comedy, heart, and adrenaline-fueled action.

Whether you’re a sports fan, animation buff, or just someone who loves an inspiring underdog (or under-goat) story, GOAT promises to be the animated event of 2026.

🐐 "Sometimes, to be the greatest... you have to be the smallest."

📍 Where to Watch and Stream

GOAT will premiere exclusively in theaters on February 13, 2026. Streaming platforms haven’t been officially announced, but since it’s a Sony Pictures release, expect it to hit Netflix or Disney+ sometime later in 202,6, depending on regional deals.
