There were a lot of live-action family sports movies in the 90s, but only one can be the best. It's Little Giants.
Rick Moranis and Ed O'Neill as rival brothers is 90's dream casting, and it introduced us to Devon Sawa at the start of his epic Little Giants / Casper / Now & Then run.
It also introduced me to misogyny, when Danny didn't pick Icebox for the team, even though she was the best player, and then had the nerve to suggest she become a cheerleader!
