From Underdog To Top Dog Stephen Curry’s Animated Film ‘GOAT’ Drops Its First Trailer

Sony Pictures and Unanimous Media are gearing up for a slam dunk with GOAT, an animated sports adventure about grit, greatness, and the courage to defy expectations.

Basketball legend Stephen Curry trades his jersey for a producer’s chair and a microphone as the first trailer for GOAT charges onto the scene, setting the tone for one of 2026’s most anticipated family films. Produced by Curry’s Unanimous Media in partnership with Sony Pictures, the animated feature blends high-stakes action, heartwarming underdog spirit, and a fresh narrative that speaks to dreamers of all ages.

Leading the voice cast is Stranger Things breakout Caleb McLaughlin as Will Harris, a determined, undersized goat who dares to compete in the most dangerous sport in the animal kingdom: roarball. Described as a brutal, fast-paced game played on perilous, shape-shifting courts, roarball is no place for the faint of heart—or hooves. But Will is out to prove that greatness isn’t measured in size.

“A determined undersized goat defies expectations by joining an elite team in roarball—a dangerous sport where animals compete on hazardous, ever-changing courts. With his diverse teammates, he must prove he belongs in the fierce League,” reads the official synopsis.

If that narrative sounds familiar, it’s no coincidence. Curry’s real-life journey from overlooked high school player to four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP echoes through Will’s story. Curry himself lends his voice to Lenny Williamson, a wise giraffe and mentor figure—marking Curry’s first animated acting role as a fictional character.

The film boasts an all-star voice cast including Gabrielle Union, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Patton Oswalt, and Jenifer Lewis, each bringing vibrant life to the film’s diverse roster of animal athletes.

With Sony Pictures Animation—the studio behind the Spider-Verse films—at the helm, audiences can expect dynamic visuals, innovative animation, and emotionally charged storytelling. Under the creative guidance of Unanimous Media, GOAT promises to be more than a sports film. It’s a tribute to perseverance, teamwork, and the belief that anyone can rise above limits—real or perceived.

Set for a February 13th, 2026 theatrical release, GOAT is set to inspire kids, sports fans, and families with its powerful message and high-energy action. Whether you’re in it for the heart, the humor, or the roarball chaos, this is one journey you won’t want to miss. Watch the trailer now and prepare to witness the rise of the GOAT.
