  1. Whoever wanders into the theater should leave a winner.
  2. The final resolution is silly by just about any standard. A little grounding in reality and a larger effort to avoid the trite could have made Everyone's Hero fun and inspirational for everybody, not just the very young.

    Grown-ups, depending on how in touch they are with their inner child, will be split during most of this, inspired to either smile or roll their eyes.

    An anemic adventure that epitomizes generic feature animation.

    I saw this movie at a preview screening with my kids (7 & 4), and they LOVED IT (particularly the talking baseball, whom they thought was hysterical). Expand

    It bored me frankly, but our three kids (5, 7, 10) really liked it, and were talking about it until bed. I was pleased that there was nothing in it that made me worry about what the younger two were seeing. Expand

    I'm an inveterate baseball fan, but not a Yankee fan. I thought it was cute. Our 2-year-old grandson loved it.

    You can see sparks of what might've been, but Everyone's Hero turns out to be a rehash of almost every cartoon to date... except without the funnies, the charm or the script to back it up. Honestly, I'm not a cartoon hater... but this is one cartoon I would NOT see again. Expand
