“Paper Planes” is an imaginative children’s film about a young Australian boy’s passion for flight and his challenge to compete in the World Paper Plane Championships in Japan. Kudos to this bright and breezy Aussie kids flick for realizing that competitive paper plane flying can unleash young imaginations. It is a simple reminder in this high-tech age that joy can be found in a plain piece of paper and that old fashioned films like this can still ignite the imagination.
