My husband is a baseball fanatic. He was so excited when our son was old enough to start playing baseball. At six, Matt was ready to play, the problem, he didn't seem interested in the game. We stumbled accross "The Littlest Leaguers Learn to Play Baseball" and bought it for Matt. He loved it. Matthew was so eager to play baseball by the time the first practice came around. It really made a difference!

...they'll likely end up being team starters! I first saw this at a friend's house and had to buy it for my son, even though he's almost outgrown it. It's a fun little flick especially for kids just starting out (4-7 age range)...obviously useful for softball or T-ball as well.

My son loves this movie. It's kind of silly but it's cute. I recommend it for any little ones who are interested in learning about baseball.

graphics are bad, songs are horrible and the "story line" is all over the place... but it really doesn't matter because the kids love it. my sons watched it every day this summer and were singing the songs and remember techniques that they learned!

My four- and five-year old grandchildren (and I!) thought this was an extremely lame production. The songs and "comedy" were painful to hear. There's a small amount of useful technical information but overall it just wasn't worth the money. I wanted it to teach the kids how to play baseball and I wanted to learn enough about hitting and fielding to understand all the plays when I watch a game. I'm even embarrassed to give this to Goodwill.
