Blue Yonder, viaje al pasado

It's pretty obvious that Disney Studios was trying to catch some of the time travel magic that Back To The Future had with The Blue Yonder. Another Fox, firs name of Huckleberry does the time traveling instead of Michael J. And the man who invents the time travel machine taking the place of Christopher Lloyd is Art Carney.

Young Fox has a legacy he feels, that of his grandfather who was by all accounts a brilliant but eccentric guy. An aviator in the first World War he wants to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean and just before Lindbergh did it he tried and disappeared.

An aged and dying Carney gives Fox the time machine he built and Fox does go back and meets his grandfather Peter Coyote They do bond and the plot goes along the lines of Back To The Future. The Time Machine is whole lot like the one Rod Taylor used in his film though.

Obviously stolen from Back To The Future this made for TV film from the Magic Kingdom has merit and heart and can be enjoyed on its own terms

Excellent TV movie for all ages. Peter Coyote, Art Carney, and Huckleberry Fox are wonderful in this movie. A young boy hears about his great grandfather trying to fly across the English Channel from stories by his grandfather. Then he finds out his grandfather has a time machine he has been to sick to use. Max takes it for a spin and meets his great grandfather in person. He tries to help him make the flight that could put him in history books. Unfortunately I rarely see this on TV and it is not on VHS or DVD. I hope it gets enough recognition to be transferred to DVD soon. If you enjoy movies like "Back to the Future", "Explorers" and "Flight of the Navigator" you will certainly like this movie.

Although it seems to borrow heavily from "BACK TO THE FUTURE", this certainly qualifies as one of my all time favorite family films. Of course, I'm a fan of time travel stories anyway. Peter Coyote and Huckleberry Fox turn in a fine performance; as does Art Carney, who, prior to this, appeared in the awful "THE NIGHT THEY SAVED CHRISTMAS", one of my least all time favorite family films.

A worthy addition to anyone's video collection.

When Jonathan's grandfather tells him about his great grandfathers attempt to fly across the Atlantic before Lindbergh he is fascinated by the stories. With the assistance of a time machine he goes back in time and meets him before his flight. Art Carney makes a good grandfather. Good casting, locations, and music. An entertaining family movie worth seeing.

This is a wonderful story about early aviation and how several pilots lost their lifes trying to cross the Atlantic before Lindbergh. When a young boy hears a story from his granfather, played by Art Carney, about his great grandfather, played by Peter Coyote, trying to make the crossing he decides he must help him. With the help of his greandfather he travels back in time. It is a shame a wonderful family movie like this is not on VHS let alone DVD.
