Indeed <B>burrahobbit</B>, we didn't hear too much about the Eagles in the book, but Gandalf's words with Gwaihir had been noted. We knew that Gandalf had been carried by the Eagle twice already. Add that to the similarities between this and the ending of <I>The Hobbit</I> and the Eagles did mean something in the book.<P>In the film we had seen one Eagle saving Gandalf from Saruman which, by the way, was never explained. So it really was quite different. And I don't think that the addition of that little bat (from <I>The Fellowship</I>) was a nice touch.
