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, ...( read more  read more... )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
