Created as an IMAX movie based on the novel by father/son team
Walter and Steven Farley, Disney's Young Black Stallion tells the
story of a wild colt who befriends a young girl in the Arabian
desert, eventually becoming her equine soul mate and champion
racehorse. Set in 1946 North Africa, the story begins as Neera gets
separated from her desert caravan by an ambush of soldiers. Alone
and lost, she discovers a colt among the drifts and, in time, they
forge a friendship of interdependence. The spirited horse and child
ride like the wind, yet when they arrive home, the colt bolts,
leaving Neera to convince her grandfather that the legendary
stallion is more than a mirage. Ultimately, she proves this in a
climatic action sequence brimming with girl power. The
cinematography dazzles with its large-format visuals and sweeping
panoramas, yet the 50-minute length truncates the story into a
seemingly abridged version. An extra hour of plot and character
development would have allowed it to venture closer to the
magnificence of the original Stallion installment. (Ages 8 and
older) --Lynn Gibson
