Gabor Csupo ('Bridge to Terabithia') directs this adventure based on the classic children's novel 'The Little White Horse' by Elizabeth Goudge. Dakota Blue Richards ('The Golden Compass') plays Maria Merryweather, a 13-year-old girl who is forced to move in with Sir Benjamin (Ioan Gruffudd), the eccentric uncle she never knew she had, following the death of her father. Uprooted from her London life and transplanted to the ancestral home of Moonacre Manor, Maria finds herself in a mysterious world out of time, populated by strange characters and mythical beasts. It's not long before she discovers that there is an ancient story around the founding of the family estate that will have a profound effect on her destiny....

For Dakota fans

By Bobsview (559 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 31 Mar 2013

Second Dakota Blue Richards film. Watched it because she was in it. Children’s fantasy . Dakota is excellent. Two families at war and a magic curse . Shot in castles and the forest.

A sweet take on a classic book. For fans of Harry Potter and Ella Enchanted

By DutchyTouchy (4 reviews) , 14 Jan 2013

A nice loose take on the book The little White horse. A little bit cheesy, however the film is pleasantly shot with a few key details from the book featureing in the film. Over all a sweet, feel good film for the family to enjoy.

By andrea77 (2 reviews) , 06 Jan 2013

it was a brilliant movie i would watch it over and over again! i love the actress Dakota Blue Richards shes really good. this movie i liked particularly because it would show the begining of how they all got into a fight, and i like movies that show that type of stuff. i dont like the fact that loveday just came out of no where and just started telling her story but that made it all the more intresting
