Little Giants

About Little Giants

Little Giants is a 1994 family comedy movie, which starred Rick Moranis and Ed O'Neill as brothers in a small Ohio town, coaching rival Pee-Wee Football teams.

Danny O'Shea (Rick Moranis) has always lived in the shadow of his older brother, Kevin (Ed O'Neill), a Heisman Trophy winner and a local football hero. The brothers live in their hometown of Urbania, Ohio and Kevin coaches the local "Pee-Wee Cowboys" football team. Despite being the best player, Danny's daughter Becky ("The Icebox"), is cut during try outs because she is a girl. After being ridiculed by the other players that did make the team, Becky convinces her dad to coach a new pee-wee team named "The Little Giants".

At first Danny is reluctant to do so, but later accepts in an attempt to show Urbania that Kevin is not invincible, and that there is another O'Shea in town capable of winning. Kevin mockingly reminds him of the "one town, one team" rule and with the help of the locals, they decide to have a playoff game to determine the lone team that will represent Urbania. Among Becky and the other children that did not make Kevin's team, Danny also gathers other children that have never been given a chance. One such player was Junior Floyd, a strong armed quarterback and son to Danny's childhood sweetheart, Patty Floyd. Becky slowly develops a crush for Junior and struggles with her new found feelings as a girl.
