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.

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.

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

It is heart warming in the right way. The project of the Geese going south is well worth watching - It is delightfull to follow the project of saving not only adopted geese and their future survival - But the reclaiming of nature and enviriontment for the future, against globalization and quick profit - It is as it gets.

Joyfully and against all odds, it turns out the way we hope for.

All actors are brilliant, the script is great and you cannot help loving this film if you are between 7 and 100 years of age.

Go for it. The film is a pearl of wisdom and a great example of how civil disobedience, is the way forward, when it comes to projects ahead of their time.

All Children should have this DVD waiting for them under the X-Mass tree or get it as a birthday present. It encorages the right spirit in children, in a delightfull way.

I watched this film by accident (one of those christmas movies when you happen to be in front on the TV) and was initailly put off by the schmaltzy synopsis/subject matter; In spite of myself, the beauty of the film combined with extremely believable and endearing characters forced me to shed my cynicism; i was transfixed by the end.
It is a simple but powerful film that stays with you for a long time afterwards.

It begins in New Zealand with windscreen wipers washing away rain. A mother in her mid thirties is driving her 13-year old daughter home at night to Pukekohe. Amy Alden (Anna Paquin) is listening to music on her headphones - smiling lovingly at her cool mum who looks over at her spirited girl with pride. But as a beautiful and inspirational piano theme plays ("10,000 Miles" by Mary Chapin Carpenter - a Robbie Burns poem put to music) - a truck approaches just when Mummy is taking an ill-timed mobile phonecall. She swerves fast to avoid the oncoming juggernaut but flips the car in doing so. It rolls to a shattered stand still - paramedics pull only the injured Amy from the wreckage. Her father Thomas then comes all the way from Ontario to bring his traumatized daughter home (they parted when she was three).

Thomas Alden (Jeff Daniels) is an upbeat force - a self-made man - a Canadian dreamer, sculptor and madcap inventor - obsessed with flight, hang gliders and ultralight trikes (he's even built an exact replica of the Moon Lander in his barn because the Earth no longer has one). And where Dad lives is beautiful - rural woodland and rolling hills surrounds his farmstead. But developers covet the land and one-day after bulldozers have illegally knocked down trees and natural habitat - Amy is out surveying the carnage. She spots a batch of goose eggs thrown by the dozers that haven't hatched yet. Gathering all 16 in a pouch - she carefully places them in a disused cabinet in the hay barn - using straw as a bed and her mother's old clothes as wraps. To keep them warm in the closed wooden drawer - she steals one of Dad's old mobile lamps (when he's not looking) and then hops the yellow bus to school.
