Fly Away Home submitted by SBNB on July 12, 2015, 2:47pm This is a nice movie for kids and families. It used to be one of my favorites.

Loosely based on actual events submitted by jhaiduce on August 3, 2016, 11:12pm Having already read about the actual events this movie is based on, I must say the movie only vaguely resembles the real story. While the movie tells about saving geese from developers, the real geese were guinea pigs in an experiment to demonstrate the concept of training birds to follow an ultralight aircraft during migration. The real beneficiaries were whooping cranes, which were introduced to new migration routes. Still, it's an entertaining movie.

Migration 101 submitted by ccrose on August 31, 2019, 3:59pm That was the topic at dinner table. The movie was handy.

Beautiful submitted by humann30 on August 17, 2020, 1:39pm The cinematography was fantastic! This was a bit classic movie, it means Computer graphics didn’t work like nowadays. It’s worth watching the amazing migration of geese and humans!
