...on home video, stripped of its visual grandeur - the movie comes off as a superficial and woefully inept piece of work.

...ironically similar to Hidalgo.... In many ways, Young Black Stallion is a better film because it doesn’t have the baggage of being a star vehicle

The Young Black Stallion is not so much a bad film as it is a non film. It was meant mainly to be looked at.

Horse lovers, especially fans of the purebred desert Arabian, will swoon.

If you are able to read this review, you are probably too old to get much pleasure out of Young Black Stallion.

This 50 minute L.F. narrative is at its best with music, big sky, interesting terrain and a charming girl on the back of a beautiful horse. Sticky in acting/dialogue.

Tired rehash.

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

Top CriticThe Young Black Stallion will provide a brief diversion for animal-loving youngsters. But beneath its polished good looks it feels awfully amateurish.
12/26/03
Wincer delivers a gentle yet vibrant tale of natural splendor, a horse's valor and a young girl's plucky determination.
12/26/03
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.
12/26/03
A choppy, disjointed film that feels like it was edited down to suit the typical, 45-minute running time of a large-format film.
12/26/03
Every shot seems designed to show off the unique location, or fill the screen with something interesting.
12/26/03
It's a full, flat 50 minutes -- long enough to get the job done, and fast and short enough that the kids won't get antsy. And luckily for us adults, it's well-crafted and keeps us interested, too.
12/26/03
Nowhere near as adventuresome or artful as its famous predecessor, but it's still a vital, good-looking way to introduce the Walter Farley horse books -- and the resulting films -- to children.
