The beauty of Black beauty was the simplicity. This movie has only about two scenes in it that actually were in the book. I deliberately recorded this and waited to watch it for my birthday, because the book had been a gift for me as a child. I knew every line of it.
It led to a career and lifetime of horses for me.
There is very little of the original story left in this movie. I think that as a standalone movie, it was okay. I won't watch it again.
