Blue Yonder, viaje al pasado

Put Huckleberry Fox, Peter Coyote, and Art Carney in a Fantasy Adventure film dealing with airplanes and time travel, add an intelligent script, excellent performances by the entire cast, give it a couple dashes of suspense, a few pinches of comedy, and capture it all with dazzling cinematography, and you have The Blue Yonder. This is the type of film that I actively seek out. BRAVO to all who worked on this fine family film.

This is a wonderful film that has everything you could want in a movie-adventure, action and comedy. It has a great cast. Huckleberry Fox who plays Jonathan Knicks is wonderful in this movie. Peter Coyote plays Max Knickerbocker is perfect in his role. And Art Carney who plays the aged Henry Coogan.

The film starts in the present, and Johnathan is fascinated by the aviation stories that Henry tells him. He tells Johnathan that Max Nickerbocker wasn't only a pilot, but also an inventor. He then tells Johnathan about an invention that was nutty-but Henry does not tell him what it is-at least not yet.

When Henry becomes ill, he tells Johnathan about what Max called "The Time Traveler." He tells Johnathan that he has planned to test the machine-but is sick and can't do it. Johnathan Then decides to try to go back in time to save Max's life.

He does go back in time-almost 60 years-back to May, 1927. He meets Max Knickerbocker and the young Henry Coogan. Can he save Max's life? Can he alter the events in History? Watch this Movie and find out.

This Movie is also called "Time Flyer" It's great for the whole family-don't miss it.

It's rare to see me liking movies made purely for television, but this one, while by no means great, is okay.

Time travel has always been a fascinating subject. Perhaps this movie isn't the most original because it has many similarities with 'Back To The Future'. The similarities have to be more than coincidence and they even came out in the same year.

I'd like to travel in time, visit other generations, times I didn't live in. It would be fun to experience some of that, although, like everything in life, there would be risks. But sometimes it's necessary to take chances, otherwise we do nothing in life.

Other than the interesting idea of time travel, this movie also delivers good cinematography, good performances by Peter Coyote and the charming Huckleberry Fox, a decent combination of the year 1985 (present day) and the year 1927 (almost 60 years before), good environment and feeling of both times (especially 1985), decent amounts of adventure, action and cleverness.

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

The Blue Yonder is great family entertainment! It includes: adventure, science fiction and just clean family fun! Huckleberry Fox is as cute as a button. Without effort his facial features are adorable, but WATCH OUT -- HE CAN REALLY HAM IT UP! He is so convincingly surprised when the "time machine" starts up, and it is so funny to watch his bubble lip expression as it turns him around and around and around!
