Product Description
War Horse is a thrilling and spectacular production based on the celebrated novel by Michael Morpurgo. Winner of Olivier, Evening Standard and Critics' Circle Awards, it has captured the hearts and minds of everyone that goes to see it; children and adults alike. Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff have been invited by the National Theatre to film the intricate process of putting on this extraordinary production, as it makes its way from the National Theatre to the West End and beyond.
With exclusive access to the actors who work these astonishing life-sized puppets, we learn exactly how the internationally renowned Handspring Puppet Company make these animals come to life. Throughout the film, director and creator, Michael Morpurgo gives us candid insights into his inspiration for this production as we film him at his home in Devon, surrounded by the fields that he drew his creativity from. This film will be more than just a behind-the-scenes documentary; it will be visually stunning and shot entirely in HD, will bring the magic of this extraordinary puppetry to the big screen. Phil Grabsky and David Bickerstaff's filming style is poetic and delves beyond the surface, revealing the passion and determination involved to make this production the success that it is.

War Horse is a remarkable piece of theatre.
The making of War Horse looks behind the scenes at how the principal character was created. In the theatre the horses appear real, in this documentary they show how the horses come to life, to breath and express emotions and become three dimensional characters (the three operators just vanish - an indication of their skills) capable of making tears.
For theatre lovers a must, War Horses on a par with The Lion King when it comes to the suspension of belief!

I live in London but not keen on west end shows but recently saw War Horse at the new London theatre after being highly recommended. Hubby + I just loved it + both cried liked the rest of the audience, so very moving. If you visit London to see one show this is just a huge must. The documentary has lots of info, interviews with the puppet makers, the cast + the man who wrote the book the play was based on. After watching bought another for mum in law who has also seen + loved

I had to purchase this after I had seen Warhorse on the Stage. The puppets and their actions were
unbelievably real and I wanted to know how this had been done.
