    Phantastic Movie!!!

    I have seen this movie when I was about 7 years old - which was 33 years ago - and I never forgot this movie! I was deeply touched and moved by the brave little boy and the beautiful eagle. And I just couldn't believe it when he turned into an eagle just when everyone in the theater thought he was going to die...

    My sister was in the movie with me and I asked her recently if she remembered the movie we saw with the boy and the eagle and she said she remembered it like we saw it only yesterday. So it isn't just me.

    This movie is a MUST SEE !!!

    You will never forget it - just like my sister and me...

    Where, oh where is this movie now?

    I saw it as pre Pippi Longstocking movie in the cinema. (those were the days when you got a full movie before the main event!) I was only little, about 8 years old, and I can honestly say it had a profound effect on my thinking and imagination. It was much more important to me than Pippi Longstocking. I wrote a novel not long ago, 'By the Icehawk's Feather' and that profound happiness and sense of mystery I remembered from that movie filtered though the story line. Life changing for a little girl then, would love to see it again. I'm surprised it's not being shown any more. I just found this site! https://www.truetvmovies.net/store/p6946/Walt_Disney's-The_Legend_of_the_Boy_and_the_Eagle_(1967)_Frank_DeKova,_Stanford_Lomakema_.html Haven't ordered yet, so no idea if it works.

    The Legend of the Boy and the Eagle

    I just found the IMDb and searched this film and I was moved almost to tears by the comments of all the people who saw this film as I did when 6 or so years old in 1967?. I saw it before the Jungle Book so I was Eagle Boy for a few hours and then Mowgli for the next year. I burst into tears at the cinema when the boy turned into the Eagle and always wanted to see the film again. When we got home we had a Roast chicken dinner and I got the wish bone and guess who I wished to be? My dad then said 'I bet you wished to be an Eagle' and of course we all know that wishes are broken if someone guesses so more tears and a little resentment to this day for not being able to fly away...

    Would love to see it again!

    As the other reviewer commented, I would love to see this again. I saw it in the theater as an opening short to another Disney film in the late sixties. I forget which film that was, but I certainly remember this one. I do recall seeing this movie on the Sunday evening broadcast of "The Wonderful World of Disney" at least twice after having seen it in the theater. The boy's name is Tutuvina (not sure if I spelled it correctly) and the movie was/is very enjoyable. I would love to see it again!

    Legend of the boy and the eagle - short movie preceding the Jungle Book (NL)

    I've also been looking to find this movie for quite some time, and how great it would be to find it on DVD...

    I saw this movie when I was about 6 years old, in the Netherlands. And I was very impressed by it. It was shown before Walt Disney's JUNGLE BOOK!

    What I remember of this movie is fragmented. I remember that an Indian boy was friends with an eagle. This impressed me very much. For some reason he was thrown out of his village (did not grasp the reason for this). When other boys threw stones at him, he climbed a rock and jumped off. At that time he turned into an eagle and flew away with his eagle friend. As an eagle he was still wearing his turquoise necklace.
