Interesting facts

Everyone's Hero is a 2006 American animated sports comedy film directed by Christopher Reeve, Daniel St. Pierre and Colin Brady. Starring Jake T. Austin, Rob Reiner, William H. Macy, Raven-Symoné and Whoopi Goldberg, along with many others. The film was produced by IDT Entertainment in Toronto with portions outsourced to Reel FX Creative Studios and was distributed domestically by 20th Century Fox.

Production

The film initially began as a bedtime story written by Howard Jonas of IDT Entertainment. Years later, Jonas decided to develop a feature film based on the story and directly approached Christopher Reeve to direct it, with Robert Kurtz and Jeff Hand writing the script.

Reeve later died of heart failure in October 2004, at which point, Daniel St. Pierre and Colin Brady were hired as co-directors. St. Pierre and Brady opted to remain as close as possible to Reeve's original vision, which was also overseen by Reeve's wife Dana.

The film was originally named Yankee Irving during production. On March 22, 2006, IDT announced that the film had been renamed Everyone's Hero.
