I've never seen it, but I know it was part of the kids baseball fantasy movie wave that hit the 1990's with other such movies like "Rookie of the Year" and "Little Big League". I didn't know it's a remake of a 1951 movie of the same name. Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review: Angels in the Outfield (1994) - 2.5 out of 4 stars
"Inoffensive remake, with the last-place Pittsburgh Pirates of the original now the last-place California Angels. Glover is the team's scowling manager; the invisible angels of the original are now depicted with glitzy special effects; and the prayers of a boy (Gordon-Levitt), rather than a girl, result in the title miracle. OK for kids, but the original was better. Followed by two TV sequels." ![](https://disneynews.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/l939_938_Angels-In-The-Outfield-210x300.jpg)

I liked it as a kid. Couldn’t tell you a single thing about it now.
From the dozens of times I watched my Lion King VHS tape as a kid, I remember the trailer for this one being on there before it started.

I thought it was very simplistic and formulaic and always went for cheap jokes rather than anything insightful.
The original wasn't great but miles ahead of this. Paul Douglas and Janet Leigh made an odd pair but were good individually.

Yeah, most of my memories of it are just the trailer before Lion King. I can still quote like half of it and hear the cheeseball score in the background. "God...if there is a God..." "They don't have it!" "Must have been those chili dogs I ate before the game." "Just call me Alllll" "We're alllllwaaaays waaaatching"
