I recently discovered this wonderful film that had somehow escaped my watchlist until now. Sometimes, trailers fail to capture the essence of a movie, leaving you unsure whether it would interest you or not. I had owned this film for some time, solely due to my collection of all things Disney, but it wasn't until I sat down with my son to watch it that I truly appreciated its heartwarming and engaging story. While not without its flaws, particularly in Disney's decision to omit a crucial fight scene, the film still manages to charm with its fun characters and beautiful family dynamics. The bond between the coach and players is a standout element, offering a great portrayal on screen. Although the story could have benefited from more emotion and better writing, overall, it was a very enjoyable watch that left a positive impression.
