Jonathan Livingston Seagull (film)
Jonathan Livingston Seagull is a 1973 American drama film directed by Hall Bartlett, adapted from the novella of the same name by Richard Bach.
The film tells the story of a young seabird who, after being cast out by his stern flock, goes on an odyssey to discover how to break the limits of his own flying speed.
The film was produced by filming actual seagulls, then superimposing human dialogue over it.
The film's voice actors included James Franciscus in the title role, and Philip Ahn as his mentor, Chang.

Best Cinematography and Best Film Editing.
The soundtrack album, written and recorded by Neil Diamond, was a critical and commercial success, earning Diamond a Grammy Award and a Golden Globe Award.
