Amazon.com:
There are some filmmaking teams that invariably bring out the best in each other, and that's definitely the case with director Carroll Ballard and cinematographer Caleb Deschanel. They previously collaborated on The Black Stallion and Never Cry Wolf, and Fly Away Home is their third family film that deserves to be called a classic. Inspired by Bill Lishman's autobiography, the movie tells the story of a 13-year-old girl (Anna Paquin) who goes to live with her estranged, eccentric father (Jeff Daniels) following the death of her mother. At first she's withdrawn and reclusive, but finds renewed happiness when she adopts an orphaned flock of baby geese and, later, teaches them to migrate using an ultralight. Sensitively directed and stunningly photographed, the movie has flying sequences that are nothing short of astonishing, and Daniels and Paquin (Oscar winner for The Piano) make a delightful father-daughter duo. (Ironically, the digital video disc is not available in widescreen format, but the image quality is brilliant.) --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great family movie
I saw this movie on tv and was so impressed with it that I bought four dvd's, three as gifts and one for me!!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A personal project
The quality of this movie -- cast, director, writers -- reflects the quality of producer John Veitch. Mr. Veitch, though his credits list is short, was actually one of the behind-the-scenes movers and shakers of Hollywood, as a studio executive with Columbia Pictures. He was also, by marriage, part of the Ladd clan. 1961's Misty, starring David Ladd, was the story a wild herd of "ponies" in their annual human-led "migration" between Assateague and Chincoteague Islands near the Virginia-Maryland ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not Just A Family Movie
As my title says, this movie is hardly just for families. Anyone of any age can appreciate this magnificent film. As far as I'm concerned this film catapults itself into instant classic, just like Bambi, Old Yeller, Benji, Lassie, or any of the classics that came before. There is not a bad performance in this film, not a wasted moment of celluloid, not a single bad line of script. It's simply a beautiful, touching, heart-felt, and most importantly real film. The movie touches on so many different things ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fly Away Home
I love movies based on real events. The story is fiction, but the fact that geese can be taught to follow an ultralight aircraft is in your face reality depicted in the movie. Teaching migrating birds new migration routs and destinations was the purpose of the original research, and was the same purpose in the film. The cinematography is excellent and so is the acting. Paquin and Daniels are A+ actors. This is a truly inspiring family movie.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Movie of Mixed Feelings
This movie is a great one. Has a slight bit of "Imprinting". I first watched this movie in science class ( I have NO idea why). But the first time I watched it. It must be bought on amazon video on demand! Should be made a classic. So I highly suggest buying this movie if you love Crying during a part of the movie. and Laugh at the same time. Also loving to fly. Its a must have to your collection of digital Library! 5 Of 5!
