But in manga Naruto couldn't fly because of Kurama chakra mode, he flies but only after getting Sage of Six Paths powers. And he clearly didn't activated Sage of the Six Paths mode in the movie (not that he even needed it, Toneri is so weak that I feel sorry for him).

Yeah, agree that using Sai's birds was mostly for more NaruHina moments. It was so "convenient" that Hinata was the only one without her own bird and she was riding on the same as Naruto and not, say, Sakura.

Still, he should have fly when chasing after Toneri and Hinata instead of jumping off of clones and wait for Sai to make a bird for him.
