Fly Away Home


A fairytale based on a real experiment that took place in 1993. In this version, a girl is distraught after her mother is killed in a car crash, and her father struggles to communicate with her. She is devoted to her pet geese. Her inventor father builds her a microlight airplane to teach the geese which way to fly to warmer climates. Apparently it is not as schmaltzy as it sounds, although kids may enjoy it more than adults.
