Angels in the Outfield
A hopeful foster kid prays his struggling baseball team will win the pennant, and when a mischievous guardian angel answers his call, he must rally the outcasts into champions before his father's promise turns their lives upside down.
“Ya Gotta Believe!”
Synopsis
Roger is a foster child whose irresponsible father vows to change his behavior if Roger's favorite baseball team, the California Angels, wins the pennant. However, the Angels are at the bottom of the league standings, so Roger prays for assistance in improving the team's fortunes. His prayers are answered through the arrival of angel Al.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 24
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.6× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
