7/10
Wholesome, simple and without pretension.

Art is often aimed at a "target audience", as we all know. The biggest surprise about this film is the negativity in some of these reviews, as if an animated film has to contain veiled references to adult themes to be relevant or valuable. I assert the contrary. This film is clearly aimed at small children, not their parents, and contains nothing objectionable or controversial. The pacing and the moral are both rooted in the history of classic American films. If the goal is to provide 90 minutes of harmless diversion without offending anyone and teaching kids a little bit about baseball, America, and the values of honesty and perseverance, then this film managed at least a three-bagger. Let the kids have this one, you won't regret it.
