Fly Away Home is a rousing family tale at which Mom and Dad should find themselves as enthralled as the kids. Without the sugar-coating that plagues so many youth-oriented films, it addresses such serious topics as environmentalism, death, divorce, and reconciliation. As father and daughter, Jeff_Daniels and Anna_Paquin turn in strong performances; the supporting geese are no less important. The adept director Carroll_Ballard and cinematographer Caleb_Deschanel previously worked together on The_Black_Stallion, and their subtle, delicate work is similarly impressive here. A credit to all involved, Fly Away Home is the rare family film that inspires as it entertains. Matthew Doberman, Rovi
