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.

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-

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

AV Club

It's a shallow, treacly movie for children too little to question its many pointless puerilities.

Sweet and good-natured, but ultimately it's as unremarkable as its animation.

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

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.
