Simply a great movie for the whole family ! The setting makes it feel like you are there and shows nature in it's beautiful depiction of the imprinting that the birds are known for...It''s like you are IN the plane with the young girl..I have flown an ultralight (had 2 ) and it really brought back the excitement I experienced while soaring up there alone ! Long time ago but feels like yesterday..............

I remember when this movie had just come out. Since then I have moved many times and gotten married so My copy was lost. I looked everywhere but no store had this rare movie. I turned to ebay and was relieved to find it. The story of how a littel girl from a torn family loses her mother in a car crash in New zealand. Her father comes and takes her home to Canada, where she has to learn to adjust to new friends and a new family. When she adopts a flock of orphan geese, her world and purpose begins to focas as she protects and raises them along with her father. In a journey to save her geese, and teach them the right route to take on their migration south, she forms an unbreakable bond with her father and learns even if we lose the ones we love, we are never alone. Very inspiring.
I bought this one as I just gave the previous one I had to someone & wanted to replace it back into my own collection as it is one of my very favorite stories. It is a touching story of a early teenager getting to know her father from whom she had been separated for a number of years by a parental separation. The mother passed away & left the daughter somewhat bitter toward the situation. As the father (Jeff Daniels) in his rather unusually cluttered home of creative projects attempts to do his best in the only way he seems to know to reach out to his daughter they finally find something in common. This proves to be affective but so fascinating to follow as they do an unusual feat to get a flock of wild geese from the north to the south--a great distance in an outstanding way. See how & you can't help but like this movie.Read full review
This is, hands down, the best movie I have ever seen! The characters are SO great and the story line is very moving. Anna Paquin and Jeff Daniels were the perfect combination of dad and daughter, while Terry Kinney was a joy to watch! It's funny, sweet, interesting and, all-in-all, just the best of the best in a movie. Do yourself a favor - watch it and buy it to watch over and over! I did and pull it out of my "disc-saver" whenever I want to be uplifted.

I looked up the real story online and Hollywood took liberties with the facts, but it was really enjoyable. Anna Paquin was fun when she was acting as a child long before she starred in "True Blood" and the X-Man series. Jeff Daniels inhabits the characters he plays and Dana Delaney is an underrated actor. Quality of dvd is great and I'll be watching it again.

Anna Paquin can do no wrong. Her costars are equally marvelous. The geese are adorable. Content is compelling. It’s not a true story, but very well could be. Excellent gift for a youth interested in animal welfare. Maybe more appropriate for girls.
