There's no spirit of adventure to separate this one from the pack.
It's probably best to leave talking animal stories in the care of comedic filmmakers.
A stunner marred by its central figure, a colt named Lucky, having been voiced (by Lukas Haas). Piovani's score is lyrical and emotionally charged, and it goes a long way toward negating the effects of the voice-over narration we're asked to accept.
Suffers from terminal hoof-in-mouth disease.
Vacillates between cutesy Disney-style anthropomorphism and "Born Free" exoticism.
If you're looking for something child-appropriate that'll actually keep the little darlings awake for two hours straight, you'd do better...and cheaper...to just stay at home with the Discovery Channel.
This may be the first talking-animal movie in which the critter hero seems to have been body-snatched by a commentator from C-SPAN.
