Whoever wanders into the theater should leave a winner.

Everyone's Hero re-creates Depression-era America with surprisingly agreeable anachronistic panache, but a sassy ball and bat don't cut it as compelling cartoon characters, and the not-so-human humans never quite do either (Babe Ruth looks like Shrek).

A film filled with heart and charm. The look possesses a beautiful pallet in a world of flash. I'm just happy to see an animated film with no cheap jokes or animal characters. Kids will love it and adults won't be bored.

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.

A strange film, because it seems designed specifically for extremely old moviegoers to see with their great-great-grandchildren.

Neither a grand slam nor a strikeout, Everyone's Hero is minor-league animated entertainment.

A tweener but not necessarily a good one. It falls into the gap between good intentions and faulty storytelling.
By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW

It's a shallow, treacly movie for children too little to question its many pointless puerilities. But do kids that young really belong in a theater? Keep 'em at home and wait for this to hit cable.

If you still have a child's heart inside, then you will certainly love this fun movie. I thought the plot was enjoyable, simple enough for even smallest children to grasp, with plenty of nostalgia thrown in for adults

It was a regular film , the hilarious script, the characters , the story focused on baseball, but the title does not really connected with the plot that does not change to " The Baseball Kid " rather than put " Everyone's Hero ' because if the final will win, because I did not like the title .
