Content:
Biblical, moral worldview with emphasis of achieving your dreams through the support of those around you, preserving through trial and tribulation, asking for forgiveness of past failures and finding redemption thereafter, gaining self-confidence, and highlighting strengths over weaknesses;;
No profanity, but some uses of crude language (obscenities) include the use of “sheep” in place of the “SH” word, a character telling a referee parrot to “shove it up your cloaca”, and a “your mom” joke. There were also instances of implied urinating, but the camera moves up to reveal the character is just pouring water;
Intense action scenes include violent gameplay such as characters getting pushed around, a character’s arm being accidentally cut by another character’s claws, a character breaking their ankle/leg and causing further injury, etc.;
Light sexual content includes animals kissing each other, a character getting happy after a team win and telling their spouse “let’s have another dozen kids”, a character saying for another character to “take it all off” after they took off their necklaces to play seriously in the match (this played more as a joke and did not imply anything sexual);
Rear nudity of character’s butt crack peeping out of their shorts, nudity of a hog character’s manubrium while taking a bath but not sexual or too revealing, upper body nudity shown of animals with fan body paint;
One character briefly drinks a cocktail;
No smoking content and/or drug use or abuse; and,
While playing a card game, a character uses a UNO card which could be seen as cheating.
More Detail:
Even though Will is a great baller, he’s always been pushed aside because he’s smaller than the other animals. But when Will catches the attention of the Thorns’ team owner after defeating a pro-baller in a 1v1 match, he is signed to the team but still must prove he’s got what it takes to be “the goat”.
The movie’s overall quality is top-notch, showcasing amazing animation, vibrant colors, and a cool art style that makes it a great viewing experience. These components, together with awesome camera direction, really shine during gameplay sequences. The unique biomes are visually appealing on-screen. Characters are created to be extremely appealing to children and adults alike. Lastly, the dialogue and humor are performed amazingly by a very talented cast.
