In Disney's first dramatic feature made specifically for the giant screen, Walt Disney Pictures is proud to present the continuation of a family favorite and a story that has enthralled generations of readers. "The Young Black Stallion," a prequel to the 1979 classic, presents the horse's adventures with a young girl named Neera, who has been separated from her father in Arabia by WWII. Left alone in the desert, she befriends the wild colt, whom she names Shetan. Once reunited with her father, however, Neera remains haunted by images of the "lost horse of the desert" -- one of a few stallions of legend, rumored to be "born of the sands, sired by the night sky, drinkers of the wind." The original writer and producer of "The Black Stallion" have returned for this production, which will bring giant screen audiences the wonder, excitement, and magic of Walter Farley's equine hero as they have never seen it before. -- © Walt Disney Pictures [More]

    ...on home video, stripped of its visual grandeur - the movie comes off as a superficial and woefully inept piece of work.

    ...ironically similar to Hidalgo.... In many ways, Young Black Stallion is a better film because it doesn’t have the baggage of being a star vehicle

    The Young Black Stallion is not so much a bad film as it is a non film. It was meant mainly to be looked at.

    This 50 minute L.F. narrative is at its best with music, big sky, interesting terrain and a charming girl on the back of a beautiful horse. Sticky in acting/dialogue.

    A film truly geared to the 6-year-old level. If not younger.

    The Young Black Stallion will provide a brief diversion for animal-loving youngsters. But beneath its polished good looks it feels awfully amateurish.

    Wincer delivers a gentle yet vibrant tale of natural splendor, a horse's valor and a young girl's plucky determination.

    Young Tamimi is a terrific rider but a lackluster screen presence, and the film's brevity ensures that her trials have a perfunctory quality that keeps them from being truly compelling.

    A choppy, disjointed film that feels like it was edited down to suit the typical, 45-minute running time of a large-format film.

    Every shot seems designed to show off the unique location, or fill the screen with something interesting.

    It's a full, flat 50 minutes -- long enough to get the job done, and fast and short enough that the kids won't get antsy. And luckily for us adults, it's well-crafted and keeps us interested, too.

    Nowhere near as adventuresome or artful as its famous predecessor, but it's still a vital, good-looking way to introduce the Walter Farley horse books -- and the resulting films -- to children.
