Everyone's Hero

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

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.

A sweet but very forgettable animated adventure.

The movie is a feast of miscalculations.

... a modestly engaging mix of broad comedy and nostalgic fable, spiked with a few unwelcome sprinklings of gross-out gags.

A bland feel-good flick with a positive message.

Sweet and good-natured, but ultimately it's as unremarkable as its animation.

misguided and poorly executed
