Visually stunning 50 minute IMAX thumbs-up.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

...on home video, stripped of its visual grandeur - the movie comes off as a superficial and woefully inept piece of work.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 19, 2006

...ironically similar to Hidalgo.... In many ways, Young Black Stallion is a better film because it doesn't have the baggage of being a star vehicle

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 29, 2005

The Young Black Stallion is not so much a bad film as it is a non film. It was meant mainly to be looked at.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 2, 2005

If you are able to read this review, you are probably too old to get much pleasure out of Young Black Stallion.

| Original Score: C | Jan 27, 2004

This 50 minute L.F. narrative is at its best with music, big sky, interesting terrain and a charming girl on the back of a beautiful horse. Sticky in acting/dialogue.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 15, 2004

Tired rehash.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 26, 2003

A film truly geared to the 6-year-old level. If not younger.

The Young Black Stallion will provide a brief diversion for animal-loving youngsters. But beneath its polished good looks it feels awfully amateurish.

Wincer delivers a gentle yet vibrant tale of natural splendor, a horse's valor and a young girl's plucky determination.

Young Tamimi is a terrific rider but a lackluster screen presence, and the film's brevity ensures that her trials have a perfunctory quality that keeps them from being truly compelling.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 26, 2003

A choppy, disjointed film that feels like it was edited down to suit the typical, 45-minute running time of a large-format film.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 26, 2003

Every shot seems designed to show off the unique location, or fill the screen with something interesting.

| Original Score: B | Dec 26, 2003

It's a full, flat 50 minutes -- long enough to get the job done, and fast and short enough that the kids won't get antsy. And luckily for us adults, it's well-crafted and keeps us interested, too.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 26, 2003

Nowhere near as adventuresome or artful as its famous predecessor, but it's still a vital, good-looking way to introduce the Walter Farley horse books -- and the resulting films -- to children.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 26, 2003

Continues in the hackneyed tradition of other made-for-IMAX dramas, with storytelling that doesn't measure up to the scope of the screen.

Full Review | Dec 26, 2003

Simon Wincer's Imax film is a prequel to the classic 1979 children's film The Black Stallion.
