A sweet but very forgettable animated adventure.

Rotten
The movie is a feast of miscalculations.
Stephen Hunter, Washington Post

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

Everyone's Hero is a sweet, inspirational movie that doesn't offer any surprises, but entertains youthful audiences in a gentle, almost old-fashioned way.
