Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are back for another podcast. This time they’re discussing Fly Away Home for its 25th anniversary.
Fly Away Home is a family film directed by Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion). The film came out on September 13, 1996.
Inspired by true events, the film tells the story of a 13-year-old girl named Amy Alden (Anna Paquin, The Irishman), who raises a flock of orphaned geese. With the help of her inventor father, Thomas (Jeff Daniels, The Comey Rule), Amy leads the geese south for the winter using an ultralight aircraft. Other characters include Tom’s girlfriend, Susan (Dana Delany, Desperate Housewives), and Officer Seifert (Jeremy Ratchford, Cold Case) from Animal Regulation.
Fly Away Home garnered critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Cinematography at the Oscars. It grossed $25 million at the U.S. box office.
In the podcast, Josh and Aaron talk about their history with the movie before going into its plot, characters, cinematography, and effects.
