Hey, Reddit! Tyree here. I directed Sony's GOAT.
I had an incredible time making this film over the course of 7.5 years, and it’s one of my proudest pieces of work. You may know also me from the episodes of Bob’s Burgers I directed, or as the creator of the sneaker-centric webcomic SN’EADS.
Synopsis:
A small goat named Will gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball — a high-intensity, full-contact sport that's dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Ridiculed by his teammates, Will becomes determined to revolutionize the sport and prove that "small can ball!"

What animated film you wish you had directed/made?
Hi Tyree, thanks for joining us!
If you could only bring 3 movies with you on a deserted island to watch for the rest of your life, what would they be?
If you could have included past NBA legends in your movie for voice roles, who would you have liked to have in it?
yo this sounds wild, what’s the craziest behind-the-scenes moment you had while making GOAT?
Can you explain the story of how this was made? Did you have the idea and bring it to Steph Curry? Were you approached? did Curry come on later?
Favorite NBA team and player?
Did you get any pushback from Sony or anyone on the idea of the league being ostensively gender integrated even though it was with anthropomorphic animals? As a trans writer and aspiring animator, I found it so simple and inspiring. Looking forward to catching it on the big screen!
