	Filmtracks: Radio Flyer (Hans Zimmer)
		Radio Flyer: (Hans Zimmer) If you want to study about a film that definitely should never have been made, then Radio Flyer is your case in point.
		Unfortunately, Radio Flyer falls into the trap of an impossible reality: a mother of two children remarries an abusive alcoholic, but she doesn't know that he is beating the younger son.
		Having seen another child attempt to fly on his Radio Flyer wagon (and being crippled by it), the two brothers decide that the only way to escape the abuse is to build their own flying wagon and attempt to have the beaten brother fly away to safety.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Radio Flyer \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		"Radio Flyer" is a most disturbing film, not at all the feel-good "E.T." kind of movie its TV ad spots seem to be promoting.
		"Radio Flyer" is the story of two young boys, one regularly beaten by his drunken stepfather and the other is his slightly older brother, who tries desperately to protect him.
		"Radio Flyer" is an uncomfortable mix of real-life horror and whimsy — and it's certainly not a family film.

		Like the original little red wagon that lent the company its name, Radio Flyer Inc. is an American classic - a simple, enduring enterprise that has been reinterpreted with each new generation, creating toys that inspire the imagination.

	Movie Review - Radio Flyer
		They will turn their little red wagon, the Radio Flyer, into a flying machine which Bobby can pilot to the sanctuary of far off lands and adventures.
		For filming, special-effects men placed the fake arm on a stunt man, showed the dog the arm and encouraged him to "Get it, get it".
		The actual filming area was not a cliff, but a rock about 10 feet high with the ground gently sloping downhill below it.

		When the younger brother is subjected to physical abuse at the hands of their brutal stepfather, Mike decides to convert their toy trolley, the "Radio Flyer", into a plane to fly him to safety.
		This film portrayed almost perfectly what it's like to be that young and to be abused, and Joseph Mazzello and Elijah Wood did such a good job playing those boys that I found myself crying through most of the movie, because that's how it is.
		The film is about one single mum's straggles after her husband leaves her, and she has to raise two sons alone.

	Radio Flyer (1992) - Channel 4 Film review
		A cute but uneven coming of age story, narrated in flashback by its protagonist (an uncredited Tom Hanks) and starring Wood and Mazzello as the brothers subject to appalling physical abuse when they move to a new town to live with their stepfather.
		The solution to their problems appears to be to build a flying machine out of their old wheeled radio flyer cart.
		Director Donner is obviously well-meaning, but the film comes over as an expensive muddle; there are some touching scenes, and as this is aimed at youngsters, the abuse is largely glossed over.

		Whatever issues one may have about the film's ending, this is still a great movie.
		Told mainly from a child's point of view, it tells the tale of two brothers (particularly the younger one) terrorized by their abusive stepfather.
		The film mixes brutal realism with a fantastical solution that almost every child who's ever been through this kind of situation wishes were possible and, for the most, succeeds.

		For all it's status as a staple of childhood, however, Radio Flyers have increasingly become the carry-all of choice among adults, who have found the handy four-wheelers perfect for yard work and gardening.
		Taking note that so many moms and dads were making use of wagons to transport the little one's around parks and swap-meets, Radio Flyer introduced the Radio Rancher, a brawny variation of their classic model with higher sides to ensure a more comfortable - and safer - ride.
		The name Pasin chose for his most famous line of wagons was a nod to the marvels of the day - "Radio" from the wireless wonder invented by Guglielmo Marconi and "Flyer" as a testament to man's facination with flight.

		Guided by the prescient dreams from a buffalo, the two boys start building Radio Flyer, the trolley they were given for Christmas, into a flying machine so they can fly away and escape.
		For children's films, flight directly symbolizes freedom and the film's failure of imagination is that it never imagines a significantly big enough place for Bobby to fly to.
		The film reminds a good deal of the delightful The Boy Who Could Fly (1986), which succeeded in preserving its sense of wonder at the end by never specifying where its title character flew to.

		And there are wishful reveries inspired by their red Radio Flyer wagon-dreams of rolling off that big hill near the airport and flying, really flying, the way a boy named Fisher did years ago, when (according to legend) he powered his bicycle right up into the air.
		Yet even as Radio Flyer seems a tribute to the magic of childhood, an undertow of darkness develops.
		Radio Flyer wants to show us how a man this vicious could seem, in Bobby's eyes, a kind of abstraction, less a human being than a monstrous force.

		Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazzello play Mike and Bobby Wright (a not-too-funny pun, given the film's fascination with flight), two young brothers who travel from New Jersey to California with their single mother (Lorraine Brocco) after their father deserts them.
		The world of Radio Flyer is a world of crying buffalo, frightening werewolves, secret potions, and boys who can fly, all seen through the eyes of children.
		Wood, who was very impressive in 1990's Avalon, and Mazzello both do an excellent job in realistically portraying both the joys and pains associated with the stage of life when such visions are strongest.

		Director Donner has never been known as one who directs with a light touch, and Radio Flyer suffers from the same sense of weightiness that has bogged down so many of his other pictures.
		As the crux of the kids' salvation and their only means of escape, the last quarter of the film -- which ought to be carried along on a bouyant sense of childlike wonder, as intended -- is instead a muddled and confusing mish-mash.
		Too bad, because there are elements in this film that really click, chief among them Wood and Mazello as the two young boys.

		There was a bit of a fuss back in 1992 when writer David Mickey Evans was reportedly fired from directing his own movie, "Radio Flyer," and replaced by A-list director Richard Donner...
		Set in the late '60s, this is a well-intentioned but ultimately inconsequential family film about two young brothers (Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazzello) who attempt to escape the wrath of their mother's (Lorraine Bracco) drunken boyfriend by endowing their Radio Flyer wagon with the power to fly.
		Narrated by Tom Hanks, the movie is never gritty enough, never wondrous enough, never heartwarming enough to really work on any of those levels.
