    One of my top 5 favourite movies, with the most brilliant opening scene I have ever seen. A well-acted story about grief, kindness, love, and healing, with an excellent environmentalist message, beautiful cinematography. The end scene ties the movie together beautifully.

    I saw this movie on Netflix. I loved this movie, the music especially. I was saddened to find that they didn't release a soundtrack. While a little folksy, it is nevertheless a funny and heartwarming story about a girl's relationship with her father in a home she is struggling to remember. Amy is trying to cope with her mother's death, then has to move halfway across the world and get used to new family members, her father's workaholic bachelor life, and her father's girlfriend. Just as she is ready to give up, she becomes the mother to fifteen abandoned Canadian geese. Her father and friends put together an elaborate scheme to teach the geese to fly and chaos ensues as Amy and her father lead their flock south for the winter. A touching story of life and love. I recommend it highly.

    Very dramatic at times, but the humor makes this classic gem funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Geese being escorted by planes? It really happened and Fly Away Home is a dramatization of how it happened with Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin, in her first full-length motion picture after her Academy Award-winning performance, leading the way.

    I thought it was a beautiful, heart-warming story with a very happy ending... something you never see these days! A must see for a family especially.

    I'm an adult and this movie is probably directed at kids and teens, but I really enjoyed it. Very engaging, heartwarming, and inspiring.
