Everyone's Hero is officially rated G. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 6+.

In Everyone's Hero, a young boy named Yankee Irving embarks on a cross-country quest to return a stolen baseball bat to Babe Ruth and clear his father's name. The film is a G-rated animated adventure that features light slapstick peril and mild cartoon conflict. Parents should be aware of some mild name-calling and…

There is no sexual content in this film, beyond an occasional mild innuendo where a talking baseball bat references a male bat admirer and brief shots of women in period-appropriate low-cut dresses.

The film contains mild, slapstick-style cartoon violence. Characters frequently tumble, collide with objects, or get hit with items like apples during chase sequences, but injuries are portrayed for comedic effect without lasting consequence.

Language is very mild. The characters engage in light name-calling, such as 'loser' or 'leather face,' which is typical for schoolyard-style conflict.

There is no substance use or depiction of alcohol, drugs, or smoking.

The central themes involve the fear of family separation, the injustice of a parent being wrongly accused of a crime, and the pressure of social standing during the Great Depression. These issues are handled in a way appropriate for the G rating.

Everyone's Hero runs 87 minutes, directed by Colin Brady, Christopher Reeve, Dan St. Pierre, released in 2006.
