Archived comment by Noyock:
Parts of "Fly Away Home" (the Disney movie about the girl who raises geese) were filmed in my hometown, especially any bit that has fields and/or sand dunes. And one of the small town scenes that was supposed to be in Virginia was filmed in another town nearby, and they used locals for extras but then had to import several black extras as well because there weren't any black people living in that area (ultra-Loyalist part of Southern Ontario) and the demographics would be odd for Virginia, I guess.
