A nice film. 'The Littlest Outlaw' isn't extraordinary, though it has a lot of heart and a story that you can't help but get attached to. I enjoyed the mini adventure feel that this has to it, as we follow Pablito on the run. Pablito is portrayed by Andrés Velázquez. He isn't anything special, yet I still care for the character thanks to the likeable nature of Velázquez; similar case for Laila Maley's Celita. Pedro Armendáriz and Rodolfo Acosta are solid in their roles of Torres and Chato, but it's Joseph Calleia who stands out as Padre; becoming a father figure for Pablito, which comes across as charming. The only negative here is the questionable animal welfare. I know nowadays you can make an animal do things without putting them in danger, I just doubt that was as easy a thing to do back in 1955. I don't see any horror stories online though, so perhaps it's not as bad as it looks at times. It's a rather short film, one that probably could've been expanded and built upon. Nevertheless, it is still a production that I had an entertaining enough time watching.

Corny but entertaining Disney film about the son of a horse trainer who wants to save a horse from being sold to a Mexican general with bad intentions towards the horse. I will give this film credit for avoiding stereotypes better than most films of the era and a also for casting actual latino actors to play all of the roles for a film set in Mexico. Nothing brilliant here or even on the level of "The Red Pony" but it was entertaining enough.

A Disney film that is good for the whole family. It's not as great as other classics, but it has its place as it captures Mexican culture.

About a Mexican boy who runs away with a doomed jumping horse, THE LITTLEST OUTLAW doesn't quite have the staying power of a Disney classic, but it's still a nice little film. The cinematography is lovely, and the cast plays their roles with sincerity and heart. The only oddity may be the somewhat "Americanized" dialogue, but that's hardly a deal breaker. Good family entertainment overall.

A unique live-action Disney film shot and set in Mexico. It's a feel-good family story about a boy and the love of his horse. The unknown, Andres Velasquez, was likable as Pablito. (First and only viewing - 11/9/2010)
