«The Black Stallion» inspired plenty of
kiddie animal movies, but it's deeper impression is in films that try to recreate that feeling of being a child through intimate camerawork and editing that simulates how the mind takes in information.
And this is a reasonably safe family film, 2 provided you have a talk with the
kiddies and explain to them that, despite all the things they see on
movies, their mommy or daddy is not going to suddenly disappear forever and be replaced by talking
animals.
