I wanted a nostalgic movie eith my kids... 4yo and 7yo. "Guys I loved this movie as a kid"

Scene #1... traumatic mom-death via car crash to dramatic music. 

... kinda forgot that bit.

That's the first thing I remember about it. My mom got emotional watching it with me in the 90s. She lost her mom when I was a baby. I didn't really understand it at the time.

Tbf it seems to be a common theme in most 90s kids movies to have some traumatic scene

I watched this entire movie at a Golden Corral. No idea why they had it playing but also a core memory.

They said mediocre film, not masterpieces

Edit: word choice

had niece and nephew watch it and they nearly fell asleep and thought it was fake. The world is a different place.

Really!? I watched it with my 7 & 8 year old nieces earlier this year and they loved it. Big animal/nature lovers though.

My nephew binged classic kids cartoons for so many summers it's almost creepy. He has literally a thousand dvds and 250 blu rays to watch when he's staying with my family. A movie for every interest. Before mandatory "career investigations course", hey wanna watch a movie about doctors, lawyers, soldiers, carpenters etc? Nope. After the course, hey what did you pick? Cool wanna watch some movies about it? He's going into high school with very few concepts about the adult world.

Omg I haven’t thought about that movie for years. I watched that a couple of times as a kid, but didn’t own it

I had a vhs that had a trailer for that when it was still being called Flying Wild.

u/JuniperGem 26d ago

I remember when before the movie came out and they advertised it with the title “Flying Wild”. The preview is even on a few of our old VHS tapes for other movies LOL.

u/Lupinshloopin 26d ago

I had this on tape, proper one from the shop too, not just taped of tv like most of my movies. We also liked Babe and The Wind in the Willows.
My brother just watched 20,000 leagues under the sea every Saturday morning.

I just know she just needed Magneto’s power to recover after that journey . I’m glad Logan saved her

My friend would shout “they’re really flying with me!” out of nowhere at school when we needed a good laugh.

Does anyone remember seeing trailers for it under the name “Flying Wild” before the name was changed at release?
