Sony is definitely under a lot of pressure right now, given last year's surprise success with KPop Demon Hunters and of course the high anticipation of BTSV, which is currently due to be released a year and 4 months from now. Goat is somewhat of a make or break situation. The movie centers on Will Harris, a young goat with a goal to become THE Goat.
I did not need this movie to be great, just at least good. Thankfully it was. It wasn't anything special, but it was also far from bad as well. I found Will to be a very endearing protagonist and a lot of the character designs were memorable and well crafted. Though not a major factor of this film, the movie also had a few jokes that were EXTREMELY realistic portrayals of social media. The writing for this movie was not particularly strong, but that aspect of the writing was eerily effective. I of course liked the animation, and the world building of this film was also a strong aspect.
One issue I did have with the film is that it was slightly too fast-paced and did not flesh out or spread out the story enough. It was also extremely over the top at times, which is something you need to be careful with when using this type of animation. I also feel like both antagonists were underused.
With that being said, I enjoyed the movie for what it was. Does it ease my fears for next year, HELL NO! But I did not think it would anyway. Thanks For Reading.
