GOAT

2026

A small goat with big dreams gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball, a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? The PG-rated animated sports premise suggests accessible family viewing, though full-contact competition, bullying, rivalry, and intense challenges may mildly unsettle younger children. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
