Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Don't waste this one on your children: buy it for yourself. A spectacular adaptation of the Anna Sewell novel, this is faithful to the source material but creates a life of its own on the screen. Told from the point of view of the horse, it recalls a time and a place that could be both beautiful and cruel. Black Beauty faced both hardship and kindness as he passed through the hands of many owners throughout his life. Some are generous, but the agonies endured by the title character may be too harsh for small children. Unfortunately, director Caroline Thompson did not resurrect her magical touch a few years later with another animal tale, Buddy. --Rochelle O'Gorman, Amazon.com

4.0 out of 5 stars Very pretty indeed, 25 April 2005
By A Customer
A nicely shot film where the horses are undoubtedly the stars even with the presence of the likes of Sean Bean and David Thewlis. Alan Cumming's narration might irritate adults but I couldn't think of anyone who'd do better but it does pigeonhole it as a kids film. From my very vague memories of the book when I was young, I think it was probably reasonably true to the feel of the book. An enjoyable couple of hours and the horses and English countryside look gorgeous.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant adaptation!!!, 16 Jul 2007
By jenaveve "ville7" (leeds, england) - See all my reviews
I first saw this film when i was 4 and i still love it!!! Unlike several other adaptations this film remains very true to the book. It really takes you inside the mind of black beauty and can be very emotional in places.
Overall this is a truely classic film all the family can enjoy again and again.
