GOOSE!

Kenneth Donnelly, a widower in his late thirties, brings his young children Emily and Will to Willow Springs to begin a new life. Will has been mute since his mother’s tragic death six months earlier. On his first day of school, he gets into a fight with another boy. His attractive teacher, Donna Archer, goes to his house to confront his father about why the boy isn’t talking. Meanwhile, on his way home, Will meets a magical, talking goose, whom he calls Randall. Eventually, Will begins talking again, but just as he does, he learns that the goose is about to be “cooked” by Congreve Maddox, the eccentric principal of Will’s school. In an attempt to save the goose, Will and Emily recruit other children and kidnap Congreve’s mother. Howeever, the woman they grab from the train station is no “little old lady” but a savvy woman who joins forces with the kids…
