When it comes to slang, "goat" means "greatest of all time." But in Goat, the new animated movie from Sony Pictures, we're talking a literal goat who aims to be "goat" — specifically the greatest roarballer of all time.

From the studio that brought us the epic Spider-Man Across the Universe comes an original adventure that make Zootopia 2 seem like kids' stuff. (Get it? It's a goat pun.)

Meet Will Harris (voiced by Stranger Things' Caleb McLaughlin), a small goat with big dreams. Roarball is a sport of ferocity, where predators face off, flexing their superior might. So what hope does a small goat have? Directed by Tyree Dillihay with co-director Adam Rosette, Goat brings a distinct style to its animal world that has us eager to see more.

But on top of a compelling premise and a fresh aesthetic, Goat also boasts a star-stuffed voice cast that includes Gabrielle Union, Stephen Curry, Nicola Coughlan, Nick Kroll, David Harbour, Jenifer Lewis, Aaron Pierre, Patton Oswalt, Andrew Santino, Bobby Lee, Eduardo Franco, Sherry Cola, Jelly Roll, and Jennifer Hudson. Plus, this trailer scratches millennial nostalgia with the smart employment of Skee-lo's banger "I Wish."

Shame we have to wait until next year to see Goat in full!

Goat will open exclusively in movie theaters on Feb. 13.
