   Is flying a good movie?

   • Bruce Broughton's melodious score is heartwarming and delivers full enchantment for the "flying?" scenes. (The main theme is so enchanting, the Walt Disney company has used it to open every film at their El Capitan theater in Hollywood, CA). This is a wonderful film for the entire family.

Here is a sweet and innocent parable about a boy who could fly - and about a girl who could fly, too, when the boy held her hand.
