Angels in the Outfield

I was very happy with the delivery of this item. I ordered it on Wednesday and asked for 2 day delivery but it came the next day.

This is one of the best "feel good" movies of its time. A must watch for the whole family!!

The California Angels are currently the worst team in their division. It seems that the players have a little trouble with their teamwork. Manager George Knox would like nothing better than to dump all of them, which the owner says is impossible. Roger is a boy whose mother died and is currently living in a foster home. His father feels that it would probably be in Roger's best interest if he becomes a ward of the state. But Roger would rather that he and his father get back together, and when he asks his father if that is possible; his father's reply is "when the Angels win the pennant". Roger then prays and asks if they could help the team. When Roger goes to a game, he sees some Angels come down from the sky and they help the players make some astounding catches and hits. When Roger tells Mr. Knox about it, Mr. Knox decides to keep him at every game, and it seems that Mr. Knox's faith is put to the test cause it seems that the angel are going to help if uses his worst players, but it seems to be working. "Angels in the Outfield" a very cute and charming movie. This is a fantastic movie for non and Baseball fans and I strongly recommend this movie.

This was not wrapped AS REQUESTED - your website kept re-routing me. I was being hospitalized during the holiday season and yours was the only company to NOT wrap my presents- OH WELL !!!!!!!!!!!

This was a great family movie. Everybody from 4-74 in our family enjoyed it. It's clean, funny and full of faith. I'm sure you'd enjoy it as well. I highly recommend it. We have watched it over and over since we got it. :)

Angels in the Outfield 1951 [VHS]
Angels in the outfield is great. The disney angels is a better movie then the 1951 angels.
And I tend to like old movies.

A SUPERB remake of a film by the same name. Danny Glover did a GREAT job as a man who wanted GOOD THINGS to happen SO much, that he accomplished the REALLY difficult. He got his own EXPLOSIVE temper under control AND gave two children looking for LOVE, a REAL life. ALONG the way, THE VIEWER learns there is a REASON for doing the BEST one can, as the help that one CAN get is NOT always "obvious" to NORMAL eyes. And BEFORE the film ends, the viewer is cautioned by the friendly, Chief Angel,who over-saw the HELP given THIS team, that "We are ALWAYS watching!" One SHOULD consider THIS FILM as FOOD for THOUGHT!

Movie appeals to entire family - from 3 years to adult. Should be watched in a family setting. Many years old, but still thoroughly enjoyable.

I love sports just like any other American...but I love sports movies even more!.. Angels in the Outfield was such a great classic for its time!! 1994... stupid movies like Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump came out and received so much 'attention' HAHA! What a bunch of stupid movies.

1994 was when a great movie like Angels in the Outfield hit theaters and boy was it a great movie! Generic recycled plot...sports time loses/wins/loses/wins championshiop...Angels fly to help save the game... what a GREAT MOVIE! To top it off.. this was so much better than that stupid Predator movie that Danny Glover did! Oh.. and 'Sandlot' wishes it was as good as this movie!!

For good movies stick with Angels in the Outfield, Battlefield Earth, Showgirls, Adam Sandler, Night at the Museum 1 and 2, Angels and Demons, and Waterworld.

I used to watch this film many times when I was young. Now, I see it again, and I still admire it. It's a heartfelt experience that can be shared by children, parents, and relatives (both near and distant). It's both comedic and dramatic, and there's plenty of good special effects. Maybe it's because I'm an Angels fan, but this never gets old. I'd recommend this to any Angels fan, and to those who believe in God & angels from heaven.

The used DVD we purchased was in excellent condition and arrived in 4 days. I will use this service again!

Good movie for my nephew. Arrived in perfect new condition and everyone was satisfied.

In an attempt to repeat the magic and financial success they had with `The Mighty Ducks' (92) two years previously, Disney turned their attention to major league baseball and the hometown Angels. Deciding to do a remake of the '51 film `Angels in the Outfield' which starred Paul Douglas they had all they needed available right from the beginning; a tried and true storyline to work from and access to a local, professional baseball team. What could make things more perfect? Well how about the fact that the team in question just happened to be named the Angels fitting perfectly into the title and theme of the proposed film! Ahh..., the genius of the Disney machine is a beautiful thing to observe isn't it?

The end result of their endeavors, `Angels in the Outfield' is definitely a kid friendly film that the whole family can not only enjoy but the wise parent may even be able to use some aspects of the storyline as "teachable moments" with their children. Maybe a conversation on the plight of the orphan and the importance of parenting might be in order, or on a more personal, human potential level how confidence in yourself and your own abilities can lead to miraculous achievements? if you're more spiritually oriented you may wish to use the film to initiate a discussion on the existence and function of angels and the role of faith? One that immediately comes to mind is the warning that smoking is hazardous to your health (remember at the end when Al (Christopher Lloyd) the boss angel informs Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) that one of the players will be playing for the REAL Angels soon due to his twenty year smoking habit). Leave it to Disney to not only entertain, but instruct (I hope you realize I'm being facetious).

This was a replacement video for the first one that our disabled son wore out. He loves this movie!!!! The first copy was probably watched a thousand times.Angels in the Outfield

I first watched this film before I became a teenager, and it made such a huge impression on me because it had so much friendship, love, comedy, and the-power-of-faith-to-change-people's-lives in it. It instantly became one of my all-time favorite films. Several years later, I became an adult and this film still means so much to me. I know it involves baseball, but you don't have to love baseball in order to appreciate it. Personally, I don't like sports, but I love this film so much. If you value friendship, love, faith in a higher power, and togetherness, I think you will love this film. This film is about a baseball team that has constantly lost games and their journey to the top. But it is also about an undying friendship between two boys from different races and how much love and faith can make a huge difference in people's lives. It is a very realistic film in the sense that some of the characters experienced losses and victories. And that the definition of family is what you make it. For instance, you don't have to share the same race with someone in order to have a special bond with them, and you can still live a happy life. This film was able to portray this and the fact that it is good to be open-minded and accept people as they are. In addition, I learned that in life you don't always get what you want but if you play your part and believe, you can win. It's a very beautiful family movie, and if you haven't already watched it I highly recommend that you do.

A real classic and enjoyed by everyone in the family. It is a movie that we can gather together to watch.

The DVD of "Angels In The Outfield" was a gift for our grandson.He was very excited and pleased. We had looked for the movie, Amazon is a very well stocked site.

This is a great movie and the matter in which I got the dvd was great! The price was right also, including the shipping charges.

Even though this is an older movie, I never get tired of watching it. It's a heartwarming story that brings smiles to your face and tears to your eyes. A great movie for the young and the young at heart.

i ordered 2 dvd's just days before the Christmas rush, and they both arrived with time to spare in wonderful condition. A+!

of all ages will enjoy this movie. I purchased it for my 8 y.o. grandson and he was delighted.

I give it 5 stares it is very good for younger grand children ages 2 1/2 to 7 or older very good movie

This is one of my favorite movies. Every year during baseball season, it is a MUST SEE.
It isn't just for the kids!

Definitely a good family flick, not slow or dull..lots of fun to watch...

For any family who enjoys the pasttime of baseball, this film is a fun and enjoyable watch for all. It has enough imagination and action to capture the little ones and enough humor to keep Mom and Dad interested. But more than that, the film is about the power to change for the better, which is a great lesson at any age. Some of the language might be a bit rough for the youngest ones, but if watched as a family, a parent can use the film as an opportunity to explain the value of good choices in life.

This movie is AWESOME!!!!!! When future generations use this movie as their blueprint for living, they will recognize the untold wondrosity of Roger and JP's relationship, the acting debuts of Matthew Mcaughany and Adrien Brody, and a sparkling star turn by Delmot Mulroney as the deadbeat dad. Not to mention noted thespians Tony Danza and Danny Glover!!!The following are some sparkling lines of dialogue.

"IT COULD HAPPEN!!!"---stated 7 different times

"IT'S GOD'S THUMBNAIL!!!"--JP

"THE FOOTPRINTS OF AN ANGEL ARE LOVE!!!"---Maggie

"UHM, DAVID, WHERE ARE THE NACHOS??? I'M SAVING THEM FOR LATER!!!"---JP and David

First off I wanted to say that I hate this movie. The only good thing is dogface. I just like looking at the cover to see wrinkley ol' dogface. Some times I cut his picture out and feed him dogfood. Jeez, this movie sucks. Danny Glover?! Where's that one other guy from lethal weapon?! AND NO GARY BUSEY?! YOU B@#%#$@*!!!!! But i gotta give 'em points for the dogface. No dogface no movie. That dogface.....i liked himm......loved.....funny...when....remember that one part....


PS:Dogface is Danza. I loved the dogdace. A wrinkley guy playin baseball?! Sounds like a sitcom!!!!!! Or a bad movie!

A little boy has the power to see angels. The head Angel is a guy he can call Al he doesn't look like an angel cause you don't see his wings he even's wear regular cloths. The whole purpose for the angels coming is the boy prayed for the Angels Baseball team to win a game it turns out their hear to help them win several games everytime the boy goes to a game thats why the baseball coach order them to enter every game.

This is the kind of stuff Disney needs to consistently produce, because "Angels in the Outfield" just happens to be a pretty good movie. One day a foster child named Roger asks the man who was once his father, "When are we gonna be a family again?" The man's response is, "I'd say when the Angels win the pennant," and with that, he leaves the boy behind.
Of course, Roger doesn't really catch his Dad's sarcasm, so he then asks God to help his favorite baseball team, the California Angels, win the pennant. Soon after, Roger actually SEES angels coming from the sky to help his team prevail.
What follows is a sports-fantasy that should keep children very entertained, which makes the film a success, for children are obviously its target audience, but adults may like it as well. The movie's special effects are indeed special, and the story provides a nice, uplifting ending. Danny Glover is good as the Angels' manager, while Christopher Lloyd provides plenty of comedic moments as Al, the head angel. Look for acting legend Ben Johnson in a brief role as the owner of the team.

This is one film I am aiming to get on DVD. But even on VHS, this film sparkles. The cynical amazon review talks about the effects heavy side of the film, but I guess I must have seen another film, since I thought that the material was treated with respect, and done as unobtrusively as you can possibly do with the appearance of Angels.
The cast is excellent, and I feel that this film works in a great way, not simply because it is a Disney film. Forget the comments that slate this film as cheezy, or sugary... it is just plain wonderful.
The brief appearance of the kid's Dad is memorable in retrospect, since it is played by the actor who also appears in ABOUT SCHMIDT, and does a wonderful job there as well.
Danny Glover fills an absolutely brilliant role as the coach, and eventually fills bigger shoes in the lives of the two main children.
Tony Danza plays a very accessable role as a "has-been" pitcher, who is given one final moment of glory thanks to the magic of the Angels, and the intercession of the young child lead ( you can see why when you watch the film). It is all very heart warming stuff in many ways, and whilst it has a lesson or two for many people, it is mainly very fine entertainment.
Christopher Lloyd does a great job as the lead Angel, and the ancilliary Angels are great as well.
This is one immensely beautiful film.
