Win a copy of Everyone's Hero DVD

EVERYONE’S HERO, the heart-warming story of ten-year-old baseball fanatic Yankee Irving, conceived and directed by the late Christopher Reeve, will be released on DVD on the 4th August 2008.

Yankee Irving (voiced by newcomer Jake T. Austin) is always the last one picked for baseball games, but when his idol Babe Ruth’s prized bat is stolen during the 1932 World Series, and his janitor father is blamed for the crime, Yankee embarks on a wild cross-country journey to help retrieve it. Riding the rails around America to return the bat, his exciting adventure teaches him the importance of perseverance, the true meaning of friendship and what real heroes are made of.

With CGI animation of the highest quality, Yankee’s exhilarating adventure to return the bat and restore his father’s good name is brought to life thanks to the incredible three

dimensional techniques.

Featuring an all-star voice cast, including William H Macy, Rob Reiner, Raven Symone Whoopi Goldberg, this exciting tale of baseball and bravery is a grand slam for all ages, also featuring the voice talents of Forest Whitaker, Robert Wagner, Brian Dennehy and Mandy Patinkin.

Alongside Christopher Reeve, EVERYONE’S HERO was also directed by Daniel St Pierre and Colin Brady, who have both worked extensively on hugely successful CGI films including Shark Tale, Toy Story 2 and Bugs Life.
