What Parents Need to Know
About Fly Away Home
Parents need to know that there is one profanity in the movie, demanded by the studio, which insisted that the movie must have a PG rating so that it would not scare off school-age kids. Amy's mother dies in a car accident. Amy has a nose ring, with Tom's approval.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why it's so important to Amy to keep the geese wild and free. What kind of a life would they have had with their wings clipped? How does Amy's cause help her heal after her mother's death? Kids can also look up the wetlands and their importance as an ecosystem. What's lost if too many wetlands are developed?

Hi, I'm ten years old and I think this is a wonderful story! The very beginning may be a little scary { a car accident.} But the rest is a great lovable film!

A cool movies based on an actual event
This was a great movie about a girl who trains geese to fly. She found them under a log. It's sad and happy at the same time because it's cool to see a young girl be so brave in flying with the geese but them letting them go. There was a little bit of violence when some hunters started shooting at the geese, but no one got hurt.

A good story
The one scary part, the car accident that sets up the story line, is handled very discreetly and carefully. The rest of the film is very uplifting and appealing. Both interesting and suspenseful. My 6 year old loved it, but I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids.

THIS IS A MUST SEE FOR ANY CHILD ABOVE 3!
this was my all-time favorite movie when i was a kid. i loved the storyline, the acting, the geese. (when i was little i called this movie amie and the ducks because that was the main characters name and when they were goslings they looked like ducklings so yeah. hahahahaa) ok. any kid above 3 would like it because of the animals. just watch it with your kids. you'll enjoy it as well

A good movie!
I have this movie and it is my 5-year-old sister's favorite movie. My brother who is 3 likes this movie too but, I think he likes The Lion King more than Fly Away Home.
