Really awesome to see people caring enough about animals to do stuff like this.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_Away_Home [–] xg15 19d ago ↗ Hah, was just about to write about that movie too :D [–] helterskelter2 19d ago ↗ Wow I haven't seen this movie in...about 30 years. We had it on VHS when I was a kid. Time flies.
