Why it’s a little special

A deliberately absurd baseball comedy for families who enjoy animal antics more than realistic sports storytelling.

BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

Know the story.
Know your little people.

Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Crude and bathroom jokes, mild language, comic fights, and concern for the chimp's welfare. The animal's sporting behavior is entirely fantastical.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
