Radio Flyer (DVD, 2004)

This film is one of a kind. It finds a way to mix fantasy, magic and the power of a child's imagination and turn them into reality. Not only that, in the style of THREE WISHES, it has the power to make you believe nothing is impossible!

This is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it so many times I've lost count and enjoy it every time I watch it. This movie is about two boys with an abusive, alcoholic step-father who escape from the reality of their sad situation by using their imagination to go to a better place. EVERY parent and child should watch this movie together, followed by a discussion about the lessons of triumph over tragedy.

This movie also features several current stars who were unknowns at the time the movie was made. The first time I saw the movie I knew without any doubt that Elijah Woods was an actor we would see again; he had such talent for a young child. It's funny because whenever I tell people about this movie they usually aren't familiar with the name, then they watch it, love it, and wonder why they'd never hear of it before.

the timing of delivery was great my kids & grandkids are still watching it. i bought this movie cause I couldn'tfind it anywhere else

I remember seeing this film when it first appeared on cable television back in the early 90's (release date was 1992). It featured a cast of actors that were unknown at that time, with the exception of Lorraine Bracco, who was to be making her break out jump from television. AND the narative talents of a "barely established" Tom Hanks. Included in the cast are child actors, Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) and Joseph Mazzello (Jurrasic Park). Also in the cast (though the camara works hard at keeping him facelessa) is the youngest of the Baldwin brothers, Adam Baldwin (Independence Day). This story delivers a very powerful message that deals with children as victims of child abuse in the 1960s. It's written beautifully by David M. Evans, as memories as seen through the eyes of a child, which includes fantastic dips into a young boy's imagination, while dealing with the harsh reality of an abusive alcoholic step father. This movie could be released today, and it's quality and craftmanship (Directed by Richard Donner) would not be out of place in our contemporary cinema. Except for the hairstyles, which sometimes glare of the 1990's trends. Buy this DVD, you won't regret it. Especially if you have young ones and want to spend the afternoon watching a great movie with a lovely discussion afterward about parent and child releationships.

I still have not received Radio Flyer. These were ordered for a birthday gift which is this weekend. Where is my other movie. I received Frequency already.
I am not a very happy customer at this point.

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS DVD YOU NEED TO. IT IS REALLY GOOD AND IT JUST KEEPS YOU GOING THROUGH THE WHOLE THING. TOM HANKS PLAYS THE NARRATOR AND THE CHARACTER IN THIS FILM THAT YOU NEED TO SEE TO BELIEVE. IT IS ABOUT TWO YOUNG BOYS WHO GET SERIOUSLY ABUSED BY THE STEP FATHER AND EVENTUALLY BUILD A PLANE OUT OF A RADIO FLYER WAGON. DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ANYMORE SO BUY IT ALREADY AND BE AS SURPRISED AS I WAS. YOU REALLY WILL LIKE THIS FILM.

I HAVE WANTED THIS MOVIE FOR A LONG TIME. AND IT JUST HIT ME TO LOOK FOR IT ON EBAY.I LOVE THIS MOVIE FROM DAY ONE. IT REMINDS ME OF A SIMULAR EXPERENCE.

This is a wonderful movie. I owned it on VHS and have been trying to get it on DVD. It is heartwarming and a little upsetting at the same time.

i have always loved this movie since i was a kid. so i have been looking for this on dvd so i can add it to my collection so i can show my kids one day.
this is a must have movie for anyone. it will touch your heart and show you how a brothers promise is more then just words.

I love this movie no matter what because this movie rocks It's to me a true story in a way because to me it shows that when you love someone you will do anything to keep them from Danger no matter if that means puting your self in danger

I have always looked for this movie. I was a horribly abused child and this movie relates. it is wonderful and I just am so glad I found it.

I loved the fact that ordering this movie was so easy and very quick to arrive to my house in perfect condition.

love this movie been looking for it in every store and couldn't find it. i'm very satisfied that i found it here........

My children love this movie. It is a good family movie and allows parents to talk about issues such as abuse. I would recommend watching it with your children so questions can be answered, there are several times throughout the movie that my kids had questions and concerns that needed to be addressed right away. All in all a very good movie.

I have been looking for this movie for months...my daughter is so happy she got it and sooo fast... they said 7-14 days it was here in like three or four!! thank you for the great deal!

I remember seeing tis movie years ago, on VHS, never could find it for my library until i discovered it on DVD. forgot that Tom Hanks was in the movie. very good flick, something the grandkids will enjoy.

I loved this movie because it portrayed the way things are seen through a child's eyes. I loved how they leaned on each other to get through a difficult situation with their new stepfather. Great movie for the family if you can handle a little foul language.

My husband had been looking for this item and telling me for years that he wanted it for his classic collection of movies.. I decided to do a search for the movie on E-bay and there it was.. So I bought it and surprised him with the movey...To this day the movie has not been opened and sits with his collection of movies..But it's the joy in knowing that I bought someting for him that he truely wanted..

Have loved this movie since it came out in the 90's. Elijah Wood is perfectly adorable as the protective older brother in this film. Elijah Wood and Tom Hanks...great combination. You know you'll love it. :)

the movie came on time and was exactly as desribed. it was brand new and in the package. we have watched the movie and it saw just as good as i remember.

Great ebayer, Item was shipped quickly. Item was exactly as it was described. Would buy from them again. Thanks for the movie.

this is a very emoctional movie dealing with child abuse and the awareness of child abuse in the 60's and 70's and still when it's viewed today it's a eye opener and a reminder that if a child is being abused get involved do something to get it stopped the whole moral of this story is that kids are little people and that we need to protect them from exactly the same type of abuse that was shown in this movie it should not hurt to be a kid".
