    There's no spirit of adventure to separate this one from the pack.

    I seem to be developing a rule about talking animals: They can talk if they're cartoons or Muppets, but not if they're real.

    The majesty of the landscape and the sweetness of a plot strand about the horse learning survival skills from a 12-year-old girl might have been more intriguing without the cloying voice-over.

    Lukas Haas' narration is perhaps the most atrocious experience a moviegoer could ever hope to endure. A "must skip", unless you're into silent colour films. Anthropomorphic elements are irritating, and border on profoundly disturbing. Show to your children if you wish to stunt their development. Expand
