This description is from Carole Blackwell. This thread was on another post where the seeker of the movie got their answer but not for this one. It was suggested that a new thread be made for this movie.

In this movie…all the children in heaven are waiting for their turns to be born. When their names are called, they line up, board a sail boat & come to Earth. This boy & girl in waiting start a relationship. This is forbidden. So, of course the day comes when 1 has been called & must go to be born. Heart breaking. Next trip, she gets called to be born. Time passes & you see them together, meeting for the first time. Re-incarnation. Does anyone remember the name of this movie?
I think that sounds a little like “the Blue Bird” starring Shirley Temple.

No, it isn’t The Blue Bird, but thank you anyway.
Mr. Nobody? There is a scene in the movie with children waiting to be born in heaven.
Maybe….Made in Heaven (1987)

I watched this movie as a child (born in 73) and it stayed with me for all those years. Children in heaven waiting to be born. I really hope someone will remember as none of the suggestions so far have been ‘the one’
It is probably the Shirley Temple movie The Bluebird. There is a segment where she goes with her brother to the heavenly place where all the children are waiting to be born. When their time comes, they board a ship that sails off and the song they hear are their mothers’s calling to them. They are children of all ages. There is a boy and girl who are in love with each other and they don’t want to be separated. But the boy gets called first and the girl is left sobbing.
