There is a good deal of the charm of a fairy story about the picture and also some superb riding sequences.

Along with the vast appeal evoked by a winsome boy and a condemned animal on the run, Walt Disney's The Littlest Outlaw is enhanced by its excellent camera record of Mexican scenics and moires.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 23, 2021

Winning, honest, and wistfully touching.

| Aug 23, 2021

Boy and horse move staunchly through the action, doing what seems to come naturally, and Joseph Calleia offers a warmly likable, sometimes humorous performance as the friendly padre.

| Aug 23, 2021

Director Roberto Gavaldon takes this basic situation and weaves skillful action, centering his story on Andres Velasquez, whose performance has seldom been equaled by a child thesp in point of appeal.

| Aug 23, 2021

Joseph Calleia appears as the padre in whose church the lad takes refuge with his horse, and whose antics with his old automobile provide a good share of chuckles.

| Aug 23, 2021

Disney has combined in this Mexican-made movie something of his People and Places series with a story that should have special appeal for children.

| Aug 23, 2021

Director Gavaldon has managed to linger over a picture here and there that doesn't do much to advance the action, too, without noticably damaging his picture's pace. This is a good trick if you can do it and Mr. Gavaldon obviously can.

| Aug 23, 2021

A thoroughly juvenile film in its story, its comprehension and particularly in the way it is played. It offers a children's fiction in elementary and often hackneyed terms.

| Aug 23, 2021

Children and horses and colorful scenery are offered in this Walt Disney film, and they're all very well, but a story of stouter proportions is badly needed.

| Aug 23, 2021

While following the adventures of his little outlaw Director Roberto Gavaldon makes the most of his Mexican location. Natural beauty is enhanced by colorful festival scenes and a fascinating religious service.

This is an affecting little tale of a Mexican boy's love for an Army horse that has been condemned to die. Here, too, the Technicolor is superb.

[Pedro Armendariz and Rodolfo Acosta] have a good bit of footage, and they are highly competent. But for all human purposes it is young Andres Velasquez as a boy of extraordinary devotion and courage.

| Aug 23, 2021

Walt Disney has fashioned a simple but heartwarming story of a boy and his horse in this live-action feature, a pictorially beautiful production.

| Aug 23, 2021

A simple, fond, well-told tale, filmed In Mexico In vivid color.

| Aug 23, 2021

Young Velasquez plays his role with fresh charm and competence despite his little previous experience in films.

| Aug 23, 2021

You could not help but love it. It would be a shame to have the children miss seeing it.

| Aug 23, 2021

It's a gentle picture, full of the tenderness of children, of the shy courage of horses, and the dignity and the feeling for the fitness of things that goes with old Mexico.

| Aug 23, 2021

Little Andres Velasquez plays well as the boy hero of the film... Altogether, a most enjoyable little item.

| Aug 23, 2021

The ceaselessly roaming cameramen and the dextrous artists of Walt Disney have drifted south of the border for a recounting of a winsome diverting little fable about the devotion of a wide-eyed boy for a mistreated and imperiled horse.
