WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) When I was a kid in the 90s, I've heard a lot about this film. It was in the previews for the Jumanji, Matilda, and Madeline tapes. Then, from late 2008 to early 2009, I finally saw the entire film and it was really beautiful. It delivered what it promised. The comedy, the drama, and the flying sequences. And did I forget to mention that the geese are so adorable when they were babies? Anyway, on it's 20th anniversary, Fly Away Home still holds up. The story is really original and the concept was nothing I've ever seen before. A girl named Ammy, who copes with her mother's death in a tragic accident, finds a bunch of baby geese and trains them to fly. Her father decides to help her and as the geese grew up, he and his friends invented mechanical flying geese. Once they did that, they chartered a course that would bring the geese back home. The comedy and drama is just great and was perfectly balanced. The writing is superb, the pacing is tight, the music score from Mark Isham is beautiful, and the flying sequences are well done. The best part, however, would have to go to the acting. Overall, everyone gives a great performance with the best coming from Jeff Daniels and Anna Pacquin. Fly Away Home became an instant classic when it was first released at the time of blockbusters and it still holds up 20 years later. It's a perfectly example of flawless storytelling on it's own right. This deserves a recommendation to those who haven't seen it yet. :)

mattkratz This was a great movie about courage, overcoming tragedy, and leadership. After her mother is killed in a car accident, Anna Paquin moves to Canada with her father (Jeff Daniels) after he comes to pick her up. They discover a nestful of baby geese (newly hatched!) whose mother has just died too, and they have to learn how to fly. Unfortunately, they can't learn without example, and she has to be that example. She does so by building model airplanes which she flies. She makes news by showing them the way south.I loved the aerial scenes (which were beautifully shot) and the scene where the daughter was horrified when the guy wanted to clip the chicks' wings. Everybody matures and serves as "parent figures" in the process. This was a throughly enjoyable movie and great "family fare." You will love it-guaranteed.*** out of ****

[email protected] How anyone cannot like and appreciate this movie is beyond me. It has an incredible background in fact and is a moving tribute to the human spirit. It also strongly shows that all is not completely lost in the human race and that there is care among us and our fellow beings.What an inspiring movie and so well filmed and documented. Each time it is on, I watch it without fail. So nice to see true human caring and responsibility to all things.We can all learn something from the unwavering focus and support from so many people in overcoming the charge and many times unnecessary destruction of what is left of our former world and mostly in the name of greed and money. It is so nice to see greed being beaten back! We all can learn from this wonderful film.

pawleydeitra I just finished watching "Fly away Home" on youtube and I had forgotten how sweet the film was not the disgustingly sweet stuff you get with some films,but genuinely sweet and poignant.Anna Paquin plays Amy Alden a young girl who lost her mother and goes to live with her Dad played by Jeff Daniels from "Dumb and Dumber" and "Because of Winn Dixie". She hatches and raises a flock a geese all by herself. The soundtrack is excellent and the song "1000 Miles" is one of the best songs I have heard in a movie . At times I was tearing up,this film is based on a true story,but it is in no way a boring documentary. When Amy and her father lead the geese south is one of the best parts of the movie . The Canadian scenery is excellent .All in all this is a very good film
