Review of Everyone's Hero (2006) by Gabriel L — 28 Feb 2008

Very sweet animated film about a young boy that loves the game of baseball yet struggles to play well himself. He finds a magical baseball & rescues Babe Ruth's stolen baseball bat "Darlin'" and travels on the road to return it to him against all odds.

Moral of this 'keep swinging that bat' movie is NEVER give up. That being said, it's not surprising that this film was directed & produced by Christopher Reeve. Sadly he died while it was still in production and his wife Dana who co-produced this film and voiced the character of the mom in it, passed away shortly after it was finally completed.

Check out the special features for the actors words about working on this film for their friend Christopher Reeves. The movie naturally is dedicated to the lives of Christopher and Dana Reeves. Inspirational story, great tunes and two by a favorite rocker of mine John Ondrasik of Five for Fighting.

I enjoyed this very much.
