It is usual to take an idea and then beat it to death and beyond when it has any kind of success. I suppose that CGI is where this kind of movie has evolved into.

(1951/52). I have thought about it quite a lot over the years and have told my grandchildren about those amazing birds! For an 8 year old the hour "flew". I also saw Jonathan Livingston Seagull and was bored spitless...Perhaps the intervening years had dulled my sense of wonder.

The doctor is checking into the office to read a few notes, and I'm happy to see so many ornithological-minded (not bird-brained) film buffs out there. Michael and Kate, you sure know your Oscar-winning bird movies, but Bill and Coo's "dramatic" plot surely makes it stand out from cartoons and documentaries on the weirdness scale. And yes, ManWhoKnows, I think a case study may well be due for Jonathan Livingston Seagull, which wasn't an Oscar-winner by any stretch of the imagination...but then, you knew that.

I remember loving it. Of course I was a preteen then. They ran this film on TV in New York it seemed like every year back in the 50's. I remember loving it. Of course I was a preteen then.

I went to see the promo for the story. I was 12 years old. We didn't get to see the movie, but we did get the record. I'm not sure about the book. I can remember listening to the record many times, rooting for Bill. Thanks to Ken Murray, we have a treasure of Hollywood history on film.
