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.

Narration is simply wretched.
Jessica B. gave it a 10:
It is the best horse movie i have ever seen. I love it.
Casey gave it a 10:
People don't know a good horse movie when they see one. This is better than Black Beauty! And it's aimed at adults too, not only children. A touching movie focused on a young Arabian colt named Lucky, born on a ship leaving Germany to arrive in Nambia, trying to surviving in a harsh desert town in 1914. His mother is a gorgeous grey Arabian mare that is murdered by the arrogant "thoroughbred" stallion Caesar (who is actually a Fresian.) Lucky must survive in the desert after the town is bombed and evacuated, and vows to return to the abandoned town to defeat Caesar and to take his daughter, Beauty (whom Lucky has a crush on), and the other horses to the magical lake in the mountains to live with him without fear of old Caesar. A very cute movie, and the best one I've seen out of all live action horse movies! 10+!
Laurie L. gave it a 10:
The critics were a bit unfair in judging this movie and giving it such a bad rating. Anyone who works with horses and can appreciate all the work that went into this movie and what a tear jerker it was. Chapeau to the producer and I think it was one of the best horse movies since "The Black Stallion." Saw the movie for the first time today and will certainly purchase it. Bravo, a definite 10.
