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.

B-

Old-fashioned, sweet, but ultimately disposable family fare with echoes of better films from Toy Story to The Iron Giant.

2/5

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.

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.

Completely forgot this movie exists. It's not bad. The animation is good, the soundtrack is adequate, and the plot is a painfully generic coming-of-age story. How interesting. I find it funny that they had to name the kid who lives in New York, roots for the Yankees, has a dad that works at Yankee Stadium, and has Yankee memorabilia Yankee as if it wasn't obvious enough how much he loves them.

Funny in 1 hour and 28 minutes. In loving memory of Robin Williams (1951-2014).

I dont even remember what happens but this movie was my all time favorite when I was little, like it was the only movie I could sit through fully. It makes me sad I can't find anywhere to watch it

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
