A boy (Jake T. Austin) comes to a turning point in his life when he faces a critical decision: Should he take a chance and possibly become a hero, or should he play it safe? Though the odds are stacked against him, he begins a cross-country adventure to return Babe Ruth's baseball bat before the deciding game of the 1932 World Series.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Everyone's Hero is such a predictable and bland tale that it'll appeal mostly to little kids; others seeking something in Pixar's league are looking in the wrong ballpark.

Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Old-fashioned, sweet, but ultimately disposable family fare with echoes of better films from Toy Story to The Iron Giant. Rated: B- Oct 27, 2006 Full Review Brian Clark Austin Chronicle Young boys may be enchanted by the inspirational adventure, but for anyone over the age of nine, Yankee's journey is ultimately a dull one paved with good intentions. Rated: 2/5 Sep 30, 2006 Full Review Tasha Robinson AV Club It's a shallow, treacly movie for children too little to question its many pointless puerilities. Rated: D Sep 23, 2006 Full Review Jane Boursaw Common Sense Media A bland feel-good flick with a positive message. Rated: 3/5 Jan 1, 2011 Full Review Christopher Smith Bangor Daily News (Maine) Sweet and good-natured, but ultimately it's as unremarkable as its animation. Rated: C+ May 10, 2007 Full Review Scott Mendelson rec.arts.movies.reviews Rated: D Apr 25, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

London H A good movie for the family to watch gets boring/weird at parts though you might not be able to get through the full movie Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/16/23 Full Review Alex P I watched this movie as a kid and every time I watch it, it gives me nostalgia. Love it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 28 minutes ever!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member What the heck?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****ing piece of ****. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Everyone's Hero at its core is a very simple (some might say generic) inspirational underdog sports movie that just so happens to be animated as well. This film isn't doing anything anyone hasn't seen before and exactly how much you'll get out of this movie will depend on how keen you are on stories like this (and talking objects i guess). As for myself, i found a lot to like about this film. I liked the simplicty and feel-good nature of the story. I liked the geniune earnestness you got from the film and perhaps most shockingly of all, i found the animation not all that bad and some scenes really pretty. Everyone's Hero certainly offers plenty to criticize but it's also the kind of film that's hard to hate. I guess simple works sometimes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Although this film is very good, it may not appeal to kids who don't love the game. It's primary audience is more than likely the boomers at the time who wanted to relive the glory days of Americana baseball. However it does have some good voice acting and a similar comedic pace of comedy of the era it's calling back to. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
