"Little Giants" is a family comedy sports movie directed by Duwayne Dunham and released in 1994. The film revolves around two brothers, Kevin O'Shea (Ed O'Neill) and Danny O'Shea (Rick Moranis). Kevin is the coach of the local Pee-Wee Football team, the Cowboys, and only picks the best players for his team. On the other hand, Danny is an out-of-shape gas station owner and a former football player who had a rough time as a child. After Kevin rejects his niece Becky "Icebox" O'Shea (Shawna Waldron) from the Cowboys, she convinces Danny to coach a new team of misfits and underdogs, the Little Giants, to challenge the Cowboys for a place in the upcoming Junior Super Bowl. Danny recruits a group of outcasts, including his daughter Becky, who has excellent football skills, Junior Floyd (Devon Sawa), a boy with asthma who is a great receiver, and Tad Simpson (Steven Anthony Lawrence), a small boy who can kick field goals with precision. As the Little Giants train and prepare for the big game, they face numerous challenges, including bullying from the Cowboys, Danny's lack of experience as a coach, and Becky's desire for recognition from her father. However, the team is determined, and they work hard to overcome these obstacles and prove themselves to their families and their town. Aside from the sports storyline, "Little Giants" also touches on themes of family, friendship, and self-esteem, with Danny and Kevin's sibling rivalry and Becky's desire to be seen as more than just a tomboy being central to the plot.
