Tarzan was raised by apes. Mowgli was raised by wolves. Gigi was raised by goats. Sure, she’s technically human but Gigi has assimilated astonishingly well into the goat way of life.
Goat Girl is a coming-of-age comedy about a heroine who tackles every challenge with goat-like stubbornness and strength. From mountain life to middle school, Gigi’s ready to show the world she’s the G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time)! Goat Girl premieres March 9th on Cartoon Network HD across the MENA region.
This is the wacky story of Gigi, a 13-year-old girl raised by mountain goats. Now that she’s a teenager, her goat parents Nanette and Billy think it’s time that Gigi spread her wings so this year she faces her biggest challenge yet: surviving school, and for the first time in her life, spending time around actual people.
Gigi loves being a goat, it’s made her strong, fearless, unbridled, spontaneous and unfiltered (which sometimes gets her into trouble) but nevertheless, she’s happy to be a “goat out of water”. Through her eyes in Goat Girl, we live with Gigi, love with Gigi and bleat with Gigi – her journey is about being comfortable in your own skin, being happy being you, and embracing your differences!
For Gigi, the human world isn’t scary – it’s a brand-new mountain to climb, preferably at full speed. She brings the resilience and wholeheartedness of the mountain with her, often misunderstanding human customs but always charging in with sincerity. Her experiences share the blend of ‘goat’ and ‘girl’, learning that friendships can be messy, vulnerability isn’t a weakness and that being mountain-made can be your superpower.
Produced by Daily Madness, MIAM! Animation and Thuristar, with the participation of Warner Bros. Discovery Kids & Family EMEA, Goat Girl is an animated adventure that showcases the exploration of #FindingYourHerd and understanding you are good enough, no matter where you come from.
