Summary

RATING: G for General Audiences

Starring Richard Romanus, Patrick Elyas, Gérard Rudolf, and Biana Tamimi

Disney's first dramatic adventure made expressly for the Giant Screen; this is a prequel to 1979's "The Black Stallion." The film follows the adventures of young girl named Neera who finds herself alone in the desert when a wild stallion comes to her aid. (Disney)

Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold

Plenty of visuals but little of the rhythm, flow or characterizations that made the earlier film an instant children's classic.

Entertainment Weekly Scott Brown

The hoofbeats are seismic, the music is like hot cheese, and the sandy vistas thrill appropriately: It's a perfectly rousing Ben-Her of a centerpiece.

Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt

There are two good things to say about The Young Black Stallion" It's beautifully shot, and it's short.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Stallion" has gorgeous cinematography with spectacular landscapes - plus a lazy script, forgettable performances and regrettably uninspired direction.

Dallas Observer Jean Oppenheimer

Does not measure up to its predecessor, but it's child-friendly and lasts only 45 minutes.

The New York Times Dave Kehr

Joins the small pool of films that have dared to use Imax to tell a story.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

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

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

Designed to maximize the visual opportunities for Imax's cameras even as it minimizes the dramatic conflicts that make for a satisfying moviegoing experience.

New York Post Megan Lehmann

A visual treat diminished by lifeless dialogue and self-conscious acting.

Variety Ken Eisner

A visually opulent but dramatically undernourished prequel to the 1979 hit of almost the same name.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

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.

LA Weekly Ella Taylor

IMAX magnifies everything, including flaws, which are legion in this listless, awkward prequel to the 1979 movie based on the novel by Walter and Steven Farley.

San Francisco Chronicle C.W. Nevius

Yet another 'Stallion'? Talk about beating a dead horse.
