Parent reviews for Bold Eagles

This was TERRIBLE!! The ENTIRE movie is really about a police car named RADAR, and two bumbling police officers. The birds are *barely* in the movie at all! The two human police officers are only interested in flirting with two female campers (mother & daughter, nonetheless). They are obsessed with them, and don't believe the car when he sees them capturing animals in the park. At one point, the car is looking for them in the woods, and hears giggling in the bushes. He calls out, and the older police officer and the mother basically sit up in the bushes, clothing a bit disheveled, and he says "what are you doing together?" and the officer says "we were, um, bird watching" and holds up binoculars. Then, the other police officer sits up with his arms around the daughter, also clothing disheveled, trying to fix their glasses/tie/hat, etc. They also say they were "birdwatching", with a very obvious nod/wink between them. The car tells the officers he saw the women steal the eagles, but the officers say they believe the women instead of him. The older woman also mentions that she's just using the police officer, while the daughter says she really likes the younger guy. Later, she says to him "I want to be arrested... by you!" Then, "I hope you have handcuffs" while looking flirtatiously at him, and puts her hands out to be cuffed.

Also, in one scene a motorhome is barreling towards a police checkpoint, and the police officer gets down on his knees and closes his eyes, waiting for the motorhome to kill him, but the car Radar pushes the motorhome out of the way.

The whole story is just badly done! PASS!!

Bold Eagles is 1973 Anime movie. For the English dub, Disney named the film Bold Eagles, despite being a sequel to the 1970 critically acclaimed anime film Police Patrol. Now onto the review. It is a deliciously dark, engaging, and beautiful film. But the films dark tone makes it better for 18+.

My son was very distraught every time they captured an animal and especially when the eagles egg goes over the cliff. We watched it because it was included with Amazon Prime. I had to fast forward to the end so he'd stop crying. If your little one has a big heart or a strong love of animals, just a heads up!
