"Goat" (2026) was a good movie, but I'm very split on a final result.

The visuals and character designs are lovely. Really, typical new Sony Animation movie, lovely colors, style and animation. The animation is kinda...low-FPS or how to describe it. Basically like the African show "Supa Team 4" or the combat scenes in "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish".

The general story was your very basic "person with the wrong size/race/upbringing wants to do skill x, everyone laughs about them, until they show them they're awesome"-underdog story, including all tropes and stereotypes.

My main problem was the first half:
You know when one character tells the protagonist they'll never gonna make it? Imagine basically everyone doing that for the first half. [...]

as soon as the characters actually start having emotions and showing off their personality behind "what does the strange kid want here?", everything gets much better. But sadly this doesn't leave much time to actually show much of it, and the most emotional part was even done in a montage sequence.

So, yeah. Visuals and designs are great. If you like animal characters, you should watch it, maybe not in cinema, but in general.

Also:
SO much "youth slang" and SO many product placements! Camera zooms just to show off real life brand logos! 😅

Most importantly:
Hannah the aardwolf girl/woman is SO cute, cool, awesome and attractive! I want more of her! She needs a bigger role!! But hey, OF COURSE hyenas are awesome!
