Synopses for Angels in the Outfield (1994)
1.
This effects-heavy, 1994 remake of the 1951 film starring Janet Leigh and Keenan Wynn is all computer-generated pizzazz, with none of the charm or imagination of the original. Aimed squarely at children this time, the story focuses on a boy who gets some divine intervention on behalf of his favorite ball club. Christopher Lloyd plays the head angel, and Danny Glover is good as the team's manager, but the real star of the film--for better or worse--is the software that makes a glowing, celestial presence on the field seem real. --Tom Keogh

The down and out California Angels are so bad, one dysfunctional family even begins to compare their own tragedies with this baseball team. When 11-year-old foster child, Roger, hears his drifter Dad sardonically compare the two -- that the chances of reuniting the family are as good as the Angels winning the pennant -- Roger takes it as a promise and the truth. That night, he prays for the Angel's success, and in response, a star winks back at him with promises of baseballs faster than the speed of light and players able to leap tall buildings for a single catch.

"A Flat-Out Wonderful Movie!" -Gene Shalit, The Today Show
Catch the movie that flew over the fence and into the hearts of millions of cheering fans! It's Disney's Angels In The Outfield, the feel-good film about a young boy praying for a father - and a struggling baseball team praying for a pennant.
Danny Glover plays George Knox, the frustrated coach of the California Angels, a ragtag team of major-league misfits who are down on their luck. But things begin to look up when 11-year-old Roger, their biggest fan, starts giving Knox some winning tips from a real live angel named Al (Christopher Lloyd). The Team miraculously climbs back into the pennant race all while learning to believe in themselves.
With its heavenly mix of outrageous comedy, dazzling special effects, and amazing baseball action, Disney's Angels In The Outfield is an entertainment home run for the whole family!
