A movie or TV show where the anthropomorphic goat (ferals allowed) is not the villain

[Sam Wamm]

Anyone else feel like they get a bad rep in TV and cinema unjustly because of a certain religious figure being the bad egg that spoiled the whole bunch.

I honestly find it difficult to find anything where the goat character is not the villain of the piece.

Even when they are not they are often a nasty unlikable character.

Why are there no nice goats?

I know it's not TV or cinema, but the game Undertale has kind hearted goat-based characters. That's all I can think of though!

well i know there's been a few games, especially indie titles where there have been good guy goats but when it's mainstream media like TV or Cinema it seems to have a distinct lack of it.

Fortune telling goat woman from Kung Fu Panda 2 was pretty nice. Was being forced to work for the villain but she helped out protag out and disliked the villain.

yes, this is often an example i use myself.

Well, Cranston from "Cats Don't Dance" kinda falls into the "nasty" category, but it's more of a "charmingly cranky old guy" character. And while he's usually the most downbeat of the main protagonists, he does have his moments where his fun and talent shine and he's rewarded in the end along with everyone else.

There is a silly anime called Devils and Realist in which one of the devils has an anthro goat butler who is sweet, likable, and an amazing cook. He is in reference to the certain religious figure you mentioned, but the devils are painted as sympathetic creatures you're supposed to like and root for... well, must of them anyway.

Japeth from Hoodwinked.

I don't know specific names, but I think I've seen a few wise goat characters here and there

Does the chronicles of narnia count? He was half man half goat.

It’s a tough one since you said, sign of the devil.
I also have to say black billy was a badass in witch.

There is also the men who stare at goats they’re victims but only shown briefly a few times.

 

[Sam Wamm]

oh yes i already have Tumnus

yeah i'm not a fan of Ooch for multiple reasons.
personally i think it's a shoddy production that uses cheap tricks to appear better than it is.
as for the goat in it however they're actually the underdog that got pestered by kids for the sake of a shitty movie.

Yeah the goats are the victims in that movie but in a way that's worse.
They don't leave any impression and their entire purpose is to die.
essentially they're treated as worthless and expendable.
even the person who kills them isn't so upset about ending a life as he is about the concept of ending a life.

Goats are the bad guys in the movie "Drag me to Hell" but it's f**king hilarious.

okay that's pretty hilarious but still can you keep to the brief because the world is already saturated with goat villain and if you started listing them all this would just be one giant goat villain topic and that's not what i'm looking for. that's already pretty easy enough to find.

Pan from Pan's Labyrinth? He's more "human" than an average goatman and isn't nice to look at, but he isn't the bad guy.

ah nice suggestion.
i think they're cute.
but i think you mean faun, isn't pan the girl?

The little girl is Ofelia. But you're right, they call him Faun in the movie. I say Pan just because it's implied.

Sorry, didn't intend to derail.

 

[Baalf]

you are wanting to see a show where goats are protagonists? Because I just like to see something where anything that isn't human is a protagonist.

 

[Jaredthefox92]

I think it's because unless they're butting you with their horns or biting you, goats generally are not seen as evil. However, rams are often associated with demons due to horns. That and the "chin" of a goat makes them look like evil old guy wizards. XD

Personally,I want more evil foxes. Sly, cunning. Like that one fox from that North Korean cartoon. Foxes would make great chess masters. They also have retractile claws, can see in the dark, have magnetic pole detection, and a banshee like shriek.

No thanks. We've had plenty of that shit over the centuries, and are just recently starting to get better. As for the vixen you cite as an example, as with the Bible, the "villains" are actually the good guys.

Eh, there's not a lot of fox villains out there. Also, I happen to be a Christian, so that was sort of offensive.

i can think of lots of examples of fox villains. what indeed are you talking about?

also this isn't a topic for religion so bringing it up in the first place is kinda questionable and i'm stroking my metaphorical beard on how far it has to go before it's a breach of the rules of FAF as well.

Examples then? I wasn't even the one who started to bring up the Bible, he did.
