Amazon.com essential video:
Adapted from the beloved novel by Walter Farley, this 1979 family classic was hailed by no less than hard-to-please critic Pauline Kael, who wrote that "it may be the greatest children's movie ever made." A visual feast from start to finish, the timeless tale of The Black Stallion plays out on almost mythic terms. A young boy survives a shipwreck and is stranded on a deserted island with a graceful black stallion, with whom the boy develops an almost empathic friendship. After being rescued and returning home, the two make a winning team as jockey and lightning-fast racehorse under the tutelage of a passionate trainer, played by Mickey Rooney in an Oscar-nominated role. From its serenely hypnotic island sequence to the breathtaking race scenes, this delightful film is guaranteed to enthrall any viewer, regardless of age. The Black Stallion is a genuine masterpiece of family entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

I own both the Black Stallion Returns & The Young Black Stallion yet I couldnt find the orignal movie until I found it here and its still the most moving movie I have ever seen in my life with the Black starting out as a distant horse yet Alec Ramesy saves him cutting him loose from the bridle holds and ropes then the stallion does the same when a cobra snake almost attacks Alec. In which sums it up to going back to the real world after being lost at sea for quite a long time but that doesnt stop ... Read More

'The Black Stallion' (executive producer Francis Ford Coppola) is one of the most underrated films of the last three decades and remains one of the best family pictures ever made. I first saw the movie when I was a kid and bought the DVD when it came available in 1998 but after upgrading to a Hi-Def TV last year (and recently Blu-ray) it became all too obvious that this transfer does not do the film justice. Compared to other DVDs in my collection the picture is simply sub-par as viewed on my 50" plasma ... Read More

there are few films that never get old, that have a universal appeal; this is one of the best. the locations, cinematography and acting (both human and equine)are first rate. i watched this film 30 years ago with my children; i watched this film last week with my grandchildren. i have no doubt that they will all be watching it with their grandchildren.
