Everyone's Hero | comment |
A 2006 American CGI animated film directed by Christopher Reeve (yep, the Superman guy), Daniel St. Pierre, and Colin Brady and starring the voices of Jake T. Austin, Rob Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams, William H. Macy, Brian Dennehy, Raven-Symoné, Mandy Patinkin, and Forest Whitaker among others.In 1932 New York City, 10-year old Yankees fan Yankee Irving is a big fan of Babe Ruth and dreams about becoming a professional baseball player himself one day, despite being lousy at being a novice. One day, during a visit at the Yankee Stadium with the help of his father working as a janitor there, he gets to see Ruth's special baseball bat. However, he is shooed away by an unknown security officer – who is actually Lefty Maginnis, a pitcher for the rival Chicago Cubs who's working for their owner Napoleon Cross to help them beat the Yankees in the upcoming World Series by stealing Babe Ruth's precious lucky bat. Lefty manages to do this, indirectly causing Yankee's father to lose his job and putting their family in danger of living out on the streets during The Great Depression. Yankee, knowing full well who was responsible for the theft, embarks on a journey to recover the bat and return it to Ruth in time for the series while dealing with Lefty and Napoleon.Did we mention the bat and the baseball are alive in the eyes of Yankee? | |

Everyone's Hero / int_15177ded | comment |
The Runaway: Yankee travels all the way to Chicago to return Ruth's bat, until his parents realize he's not with them and have to find him. Also coupled with the fact that the kid is being assailed by a grown man during said trip on top of dealing with the hardship of traveling. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
Everyone's Hero / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The film is set in 1932, yet at one point Screwie mentions Superman (director Christopher Reeve's most iconic role), a character that wouldn't be created until 1938. Marti's father is a member of the Cincinnati Tigers, a team that wouldn't be founded until 1934. Yankee Stadium is shown with lights for night games, something that no major league ballpark had in 1932. | |

Everyone's Hero / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Screwie proves that he has a heart and manages to cheer up Yankee right during Babe Ruth's big game as they're trapped in the room overlooking the field. Earlier, when Yankee breaks down crying from homesickness, he calls out Darlin' for putting a ten-year-old in this situation and not even saying "thank you." | |

Artistic License – History: The movie has been sometimes cited by publications as one of the most historically inaccurate movies ever released. The only Historical Domain Character depicted is Babe Ruth and the Yankees never lost any of the games during the 1932 World Series. | |
