Question 1

Is GOAT woke?

Accepted Answer

GOAT has a woke score of 51/100, which means it is mixed, with noticeable woke elements. This 2026 animated family sports comedy is a straight-up underdog tale: tiny goat Will (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin) chases his dream in the brutal, co-ed pro sport “roarball,” idolizing the league’s top female panther star (Gabrielle Union). Director Tyree Dillihay openly called the boy-looking-up-to-a-buff-female-athlete setup a “powerful message” about gender equality in sports. It’s noticeable but not preachy — classic teamwork, dream-big stuff wrapped in fun animal action. No lectures, no forced swaps, just some modern inclusivity baked into the co-ed league and size-diversity metaphor. Solid family flick that slips in the agenda lightly.

Question 2

Is there DEI in GOAT?

Accepted Answer

The biggest factors in our score are Identity-driven story themes, Representation / casting choices, Institutional / cultural critique. 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.
