Product Description
A young boy is bequeathed the ownership of a professional baseball team. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: John Ashton Timothy Busfield Run time: 119 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Andrew Scheinman
Amazon.com
When the owner of the hapless Minnesota Twins (talk about art imitating life) dies and leaves his grandson (Luke Edwards) the team in his will, the 12-year-old decides to manage the team himself. Aside from the obvious headline value of his move, no one seems to like the idea and the kid finds himself battling for his fledgling managerial career. Eventually, however, he wins the confidence of his favorite player (Timothy Busfield) and before long has the team playing like kids: for the fun of it, rather than the money. (Now there's a concept.) Though billed as a family movie, the saccharine level is high enough to scare off most adults. But kids, particularly baseball fans, will eat it up, as much for the appearances of baseball stars like Ken Griffey Jr. and Paul O'Neill as for the plot itself. --Marshall Fine

 True Family Entertainment November 9, 2008
This is a great movie for the whole family - fun, imaginative and light-hearted. Even non-baseball fans will enjoy it!
Favorite of the kid sports stories October 13, 2008
My son was into anything sports and this film became a family favorite. Must have watched it 100 times and still we all enjoy it.
 Some tech notes (NOT Widescreen) August 15, 2008
Okay, so Little Big League is a cute movie. You know, for kids!
But because I'm a filmmaker and I was an extra in it, I just wanted to mention some details about the DVD. This refers to the less-expensive 2005 Warner Home Video with the hinged snap case (UPC #053939273021).
Note that it is NOT Widescreen as the current Amazon information says. It is FULL SCREEN, modified to fit your regular ol' TV. Letterbox might scare the kiddies, I guess.
This version contains the following extras:
1. Cast & Crew - just a list of the top 6 actors, and the producers, writers and director (no info)
2. Let's Play Ball! - baseball tips and trivia that you access by clicking on little players in a picture
3. Behind the Scenes - 5 minute studio promo
4. Theatrical Trailer - also Full Screen
The other version has the featurette and trailer, too, not sure about the trivia. So it looks like they are identical; just get the cheaper one.
Wonderful baseball movie February 18, 2008
Little Big League is the story of Billy Heywood, a kid born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and a grandfather who owns the Minnnesota Twins. He's constantly around his grandfather because he has a single mother, and as a result, he lives, breaths, eats, and sleeps baseball. Unfortunately for Billy, his grandfather dies. On the bright side, little Billy inherits the Twins.
With his first major decision as an owner, after briefly trying out a hard-nosed manager currently with the team, Billy names himself manager and coach. The move is met with justified criticism and skepticism. After all, he's a teenager who has shown nothing, and has not moved up the coaching chain. And, at first, the nay-sayers appear to be correct, as Billy has difficulty balancing time between popping zits, playing Nintendo, and MANAGING A MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL TEAM. The concept is so ridiculous that it's not even worth mentioning; just go with it because it's fun.
Well, the team sucks, sucked before Billy became manager, and nothing has changed. The team blames their new precocious manager. Afterall, how can a team relate to a kid who has never had a beer, chased a woman, or driven a car?
Billy's infectious attitude eventually wins the team over, getting the team to play for fun and love of the game - a novel concept for today's athletes who think anything under 10million per year is an insult. Naturally, the hijinks and winning ensues, and the team makes a run for the playoffs. Along the way, Billy learns how to manage a baseball team, as well as the responsibilities of growing up.
This is a great movie, very fun and entertaining. Perfect for a father-son movie night.
