    My wife just loved it!! Though the setting is a little dated the story is timelss and thoroughly deserves the classic adjective. A must for every little girl in love with ponies and horses.

    Awful, Not true to the original story and very little about Black Beauty. The horse encounters people who dominate the screen and some of the scenes are not for children.

  • it was really good

    I am a girl of nine years old. I thought the film was really good. It was a bit sad when he went to war in the middle of the film. I really liked the ending. I recommend it!

    Kids watched it but didnt really want to watch it again (unusual for them). They have seen another version since and found that better. Bit long winded and boring.

  • On the right side of schmaltz

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    My children and I have watched three versions of this story and this one came out tops. It eschews a voice for the horse and that made it feel more sincere. It got a bit silly in the middle and felt like the writer had got a bit desperate to make it longer, especially the circus section. Overall though we liked it.
