Don't Believe the Hype

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Cute, fast-moving kiddie cartoon, loosely based on a true story, about a kid who comes into possession of Babe Ruth's missing bat and treks from New York to Chicago to return it to him -- right in the middle of the World Series. Since this is a cartoon, the bat and the kid's baseball both have faces and talk. Whoopi Goldberg is perfect as the the old bat (heh heh). The animation is simple and the action never flags. The finale is a real crowd pleaser. And this review comes from someone who gave up watching cartoons a long time ago, especially CGI cartoons. Maybe it was the baseball angle that kept me watching this one. I am a lifelong Yankees fan, after all.

This is a fun film for the 5-9 year old age group. My 5 year old son laughed out loud and wanted to watch it again and again. And found the baseball to be quite funny. Rob Riener should do more cartoon voices. The plot was a good plot for a child to follow and entertaining for adults that need to sit through the movie. It has a nice moral particularly for fiver year olds which seem to be identifying with their limitations. The message to keep trying is a great moral for young children need to hear more of. The movie had great character voices and bad guys that wouldn't scare many children...my two year old was not frightened at all by the "bad guys". I would recommend it for any parent. I wish a few of bad words like stupid were not part of the movie and that I wish my five year old didn't hear in a G-rated but otherwise quite clean.

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

A nice animated action/comedy for the whole family. Yankee Irving(Jake T. Austin)is a ten-year-old baseball fan that loves the New York Yankees. After all, his dad works for them. The young boy with an esteem problem finds himself in a position not exactly enviable. He witnesses Babe Ruth's prized bat Darlin(Whoopi Goldberg)being stolen during the 1932 World Series. With the help of a foul ball named 'Screwie'(Rob Reiner), Yankee follows the thief, Lefty(William H. Macy), all the way to Chicago in order to rescue the bat and return it to The Babe. Other voices include: Brian Dennehy, Forest Whitaker, Robert Wagner, Joe Torre and Raven-Symone.
