Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day (2014)

Paper Planes (2014)

A school kid growing up with only one struggling parent takes up a sport, is good at it, enters a competition that takes him to Tokyo, and pulls out a bird-inspired move to win the title, but this is not Daniel LaRusso, karate and the Crane Kick in The Karate Kid, but Dylan, paper-plane throwing, and the "Whistling Kite", in a feelgood Australian kids movie.
