The Sandlot franchise consists of American coming-of-age sport-comedy installments including one theatrical film, and two straight-to-home video sequel films. The plot centers around preadolescent baseball fans, and their comedic adventures growing up as neighborhood friends. The first film was met with mixed-to-positive critical reception, while it was a financial success. Spawning a franchise, it has since been revered as a cult classic movie.
The franchise is set to continue with a prequel film, planned for a theatrical release. A legacy sequel series for Disney+ was in development but was later canceled in 2023.
