Ed is a 1996 American sports comedy film starring Matt LeBlanc about a talented baseball pitcher and his friendly ball-playing chimpanzee as his team's mascot.

Production

In May 1993, the film was announced to be in development under the title You Should See Them Play and was one of three active monkey/ape films announced to be in development along with Dunston Checks In (then known as Prime Mates) at 20th Century Fox and Monkey Trouble (then known as Pet) at New Line Cinema.

That was, on paper, a great idea. [Laughs.] It was supposed to be like a Disney movie for kids, but made by Universal, about a guy who played baseball, and there was a chimp on the team who played third base. The script was great, and the guy learned about his life, turned his life around. It was just this kind of warm, sweet little kids’ movie. I went to a few screenings, and the kids did love it. It was a cute little movie.

Primatologist Roger Fouts served as a technical advisor and directed Caputo to effectively mimic chimp behaviors. Due to how loud the animatronics in the chimp's head were during filming, LeBlanc had to redub some of his close-up scenes during post-production to accommodate for the noise.
