The Derby Stallion is a great film for kids. It's a straightforward storyline that makes you think positively about your dreams, being courageous in chasing them and staring bullies in the face. It's about being the best that you can be. The Derby Stallion is a touching story and the performances are relatively strong. It's a great film to see and well worth the rental but don't expect anything too demanded.
If this is the alternative to High School Musical as a career move Ephron should stick with musicals. The storyline is laboured and sacharine sweet and the acting stilted and poor. Don't bother, since you don't even get to really see the horse much and he is by far the best performer.
