The whistle has blown, and it’s officially roarball season! Sony Pictures Animation is bringing a fresh wave of animated fun to theaters with GOAT, an original action-comedy set in a vibrant, all-animal universe where sports dreams run wild and anything feels possible. The best news yet? Tickets are now available, and Filipino fans are invited to be part of the action.
Front and center is Caleb McLaughlin (Stranger Things), who voices Will—a small goat with a huge heart and even bigger ambitions. Will dreams of playing roarball at the professional level, and in a special video message, McLaughlin personally invites Pinoy audiences to head to cinemas and cheer for this unlikely hero.
An All-Star Cast Brings the Game to Life
Joining McLaughlin is an impressive lineup of voice talent led by Gabrielle Union (Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You) as Jett Fillmore, a roarball icon and the athlete Will looks up to the most. The film also features voices from Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton), Nick Kroll (Sing, Sausage Party), David Harbour (Stranger Things, Thunderbolts), and basketball superstar Stephen Curry, who also serves as one of the film’s producers.
With such a dynamic cast, GOAT delivers an energetic mix of comedy, sports spectacle, and heartfelt moments that feel both entertaining and genuinely uplifting.

A High-Energy Underdog Story with Heart
From Sony Pictures Animation—the studio behind Spider-Man™: Across the Spider-Verse—and the artists who made KPop Demon Hunters, GOAT tells the story of Will as he earns a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the pros and compete in roarball. The sport is fast, physical, co-ed, and dominated by the biggest and fiercest animals around.
Naturally, Will’s new teammates aren’t convinced that a small goat belongs on their roster. Skepticism runs high, confidence is tested, and the pressure mounts. Still, fueled by passion and belief, Will sets out to challenge expectations, shake up the game, and prove that talent and heart matter just as much as size. Along the way, the film delivers laughs, thrills, and a powerful reminder that determination can change everything.
Showtime Details
Tickets are available now at local cinemas nationwide and through official cinema websites.
GOAT opens in Philippine cinemas on February 11 and locally distributed by Columbia Pictures PH.
