GOAT

While I went in with modest expectations, this film proved to be far better than it had any right to be, anchored by a scene-stealing performance from Nick Kroll as the lizard. His character was the undisputed highlight; I found myself eagerly anticipating his next line of dialogue throughout the entire runtime. The voice cast is full of surprises—including a Steph Curry cameo I didn't even recognize until a mid-movie Google search—but the real strength lies in the production's DNA. It carries the same palpable heart and soul found in the Spider-Verse franchise, and if Sony Animation continues to deliver this level of quality, their future success is virtually guaranteed
