disdressed12 while i don't think this was a horrible movie,i did find it disappointing.just thought the message(persevere no matter what life throws at you)was too heavy handed.it is a good message,but i thought it could have been more subtle.there are some good things about the movie.one is the physical comedy,which van be quite funny at times.the other is the exciting action sequences.but most of the movie just seemed a bit hollow for me.the story just seems lacking.the message just becomes overbearing,and ends up dragging the rest of the movie down.it feels more like sermon on life,than an entertaining animated feature.anyway,for me,Everyone's hero is a 5/10

bsmithindian I don't know why this movie has taken such a hit or lack of interest. I rented it one day for my 4 year old, and we wound up watching about 20 times in a week! She absolutely loves the movie, and tells me all the time that it is her favorite. It is totally appropriate for kids, no foul language and the humor is cute for adults as well. The story line was very well done, and entertaining. The constant bickering back and forth between Screwy (ball) and Darlin' (bat) was very comical as well. Naturally the kid is going to be successful as being the hero, but the stuff he had to go thru along the way kept me interested also. Being a lifelong baseball fan and coach, the fact that finally someone involved the Negro Leagues was great to see. Yes, everyone was happy and fuzzy and no racial issues in the movie, but it is an animated kids movie. I keep reading how people had a problem with this movie not addressing the racial issues of the time, but it is a kids movie! Overall, I thought this was a very underrated movie and it is very entertaining. My wife even loves this movie! I have since purchased this movie on DVD and I'm sure we will get more than our money's worth. I gave it a 10 because is a very good movie and it hasn't gotten old yet. Forget the naysayers and see this movie and decide for yourself.

hurleygirl-1 If I had paid, I would have asked for my money back. I am living in on a Navy base in Japan and we don't always get the newest releases. So when I found out that this movie was going to be played for free at the theater, I figured "Hey, Christopher Reeve was involved, I'll give it a shot" But I soon regretted that choice.This movie lost me within the first 10 minutes as soon as I saw the baseball speak and it just got worse from there. Nevermind that the story is meant to prove that no matter how big or small you are that you can make a difference if you just keep trying, because there is way to much going on that it distracts you from that point.I'll say that the kids in the theater seemed to like it and that's great, but even they were getting antsy after the first half hour. I would suggest waiting till this hits DVD. There are some amazing actors in the movie and it's saddening that they chose this particular flop to try and showcase their talents.

sacoody I went to this movie with my daughter expecting to NOT like it. But I loved it. It had funny parts, sad parts, cute parts, the whole she-bang. Babe Ruth has been a hero to kids for years and a movie based on him was something new. Especially in the light of coming from a baseball, and his special bat. This movie is definitely worth seeing if you have children. Its clean, funny and thoroughly entertaining. In fact I would probably go watch it a second time just to make sure I didn't miss anything. The little boys adventure is something you could imagine if you were seven years old or so. Definitely a good movie to see.
