      My Sons favorite
      Love the movie. It was my son's favorite movie. He watched with his siblings. Sadly it was vhs and dvd only. I subscribed to a company that only sold movies that taught about morals. There was always a lesson to be learned. Today that is something that's lacking in today's society. My son watch many of these movies by Willy the sparrow was his favorite. He's 20 and he's house sitting right now and was wondering what could he do to pass the time. I said you could watch Willy the Sparrow. He said OMG mom I haven't seen that movie in years. That's a great idea. So years later it's still one of his favorite movies.
