5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet and Inspiring Film 20 Feb 2008
Format:DVD
In this film, a young girl, played by Anna Paquin, has to go and stay with her Father after her Mother dies in a car accident. At first, the young girl is depressed and fails to find her feet in the strange new surroundings of Ontario, but eventually discovers some purpose after discovering an entire family of abandoned Geese eggs who she nurtures through the hatching stage.

In the process known as imprinting, the Geese latch onto the young girl and follow her everywhere, but then the girl and her Father have to think about training the young geese to fly, and do this with the help of two aircraft which the Father has designed and built himself. All of this is based on a true story.

This film is sweet, poignant, and has much to say about the importance of nature. It is all the more inspiring for being based on a true story and if you allow it to, this film will also teach you that EVERYTHING in nature has a value, not just the animals that are cute and cuddly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Family Movie 15 Sep 2007
Format:DVD
We recently rented this film from Amazon and it was thoroughly enjoyed both by Kids (10, 8 & 6) and by their parents - so much so that having just watched it my daughter immediately asked if she could get a copy for Christmas!

It's loosely based on a real life story (some details of which are included on the DVD for the benefit of curious adults) with great acting from the leads and affecting photography of the geese.

If you are one of those families who still sometimes sit together round the tv on wet Sunday afternoons and you enjoy the classic Disney action movies (Incredible Journey et al)then this will be perfect for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best family movies I have seen 17 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Amy has just lost her mother in a car accident. While wandering around by herself she finds some eggs in a destroyde goose nest. She decides to try to make them hatch. I guess its her way of dealing with her loss.

The movie contains some stunning scenografi as the full 5 minute+ beautiful song "10 000 miles" (by Mary Carpenter) is playing. Can you imagine, in this fast moving world, a movie taking time for that? Almost brings tears in the eyes of a grown up hard-boiled man like me.. Right from the magic opening scene, I was grabbed by this move.

You might say this is not very complex, but sometimes you can find room in your heart for a relativly simple story.

Impressive playing by the young girl, Anna Paquin( youngest Oscar winner ever with "Piano").

ps: sorry for my not-so-good english
