Erin M @Mightymotes Jun 24 Fantastic movie!!! Loved it as a kid, and watched it again after almost 50 years and it still has me in awe of the bond and raw emotion between the boy and the stallion. See more Lisa Z. @bluegiraffe457 Jun 8 A classic. It is extremely true to the book, too. As just about everyone says, the first half is better than the second half. That’s the part where the boy meets the horse and they end up on the island together and get to know each other. Once they return to the city, it gets more routine and less magical. But there is still lots of enjoyment to be had, and Mickey Rooney steals the show as a former jockey/trainer who knows what sort of horse this really is.

Beautiful photography throughout, my favorite aspect is how dialogue is not even necessary to convey most of the story's weight. Solid acting and good direction complete with a compelling story makes this a classic appropriate for any age. My kids loved it too. Don't miss this one!

A masterpiece. Mickey Rooney does a amazing job and is oscar worthy. See more Robb M @RT33579213 09/23/2024 This is really 2 movies in one. The first part is a magical movie The cinema photography is extraordinary. There is very little dialogue in the first part of the movie and everything is shown through the face of the main child actor and the placement of the camera. It is visually and cinematically a joy to watch. The performance by Hoyt Axton was surprisingly good. The second-half of the movie after the boy and the horse are rescued it's like an excellent Disney movie. Mickey Rooney sucks up all the air in the room in every scene he's acting in but Terry garr gives him a good run for his money. Watch this movie and pay attention the choices made by the director and how he moved his story along without hardly any dialogue it's such a pleasure to watch. See more Read all reviews
