![The Black Stallion / The Black Stallion Returns [DVD] [1983] [1979]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QJuDhhmAL.jpg)
The Black StallionFrom its turbulent beginning in a storm-swept sea to its unforgettable horse race finale, The Black Stallion is a movie landmark. One of the most highly praised productions of its day, it is a wonderful experience for adults and for kids. When a shipwreck leaves Alec (Kelly Reno)--a courageous young boy--and “The Black”--a wild Arabian stallion--stranded on a desolate island, the two share a frightening adventure of survival which forges a lasting bond of friendship between them. Upon their rescue, Alec and the magnificent horse continue their adventures when they join forces with ex-jockey and horse trainer, Henry Dailey (Mickey Rooney). Recognising the winning combination of The Black’s remarkable spirit and Alec’s unwavering devotion to his friend, Dailey takes both under his wing and prepares them to go head to head with the world’s best thoroughbreds in the race of the century. The Black Stallion ReturnsHe would go to the ends of the earth to rescue his most treasured friend… a champion racehorse named “Black.” This remarkable story about the relationship between a young boy and his horse is a magnificent spectacle with adventures the whole family can enjoy. Co-starring Teri Garr (Tootsie) in a heartfelt performance, The Black Stallion Returns is an unforgettable journey of courage, hope and friendship that knows no bounds. “Black” is a stunning fire-and-silk stallion celebrated the world over. But to his young American owner, Alec Ramsay (Kelly Reno), he’s much more. So, when the amazing animal is stolen, Alec will stop at nothing to get him back--from stowing away on a plane to Casablanca to crossing the brutal Sahara desert. With the help of a friend named Raj (Vincent Spano), Alec finally unravels the mystery of Black’s theft...only to discover that he must overcome even greater odds to reclaim his beloved horse.

A very nice movie
I am 9 years old and i think this is a very sad movie. Even thought the first movie is mostly acting it is a wonderful movie. It is a movie of both, sadness and love either way I loved itThe second part is really sad and scary. After 5mins it was too scary to watch. I think that the movie should have been a little bit more child friendly.

Beautiful but difficult film
The film is beautifully shot and the actors are great, including the horse. Our children had liked the film, but we couldn't remember at what age they had seen it, so we watched it before deciding to show it or not to our grandchildren. We had forgotten how much of the film was to do with racing, which, if you are not interested in horse racing, is rather long, The relationship between the child and his parents is treated as background and the obsession of the young hero for racing is linked to his developing attachment to the grandfather figure of the old trainer. Because this film deals with difficult issues (relationship with the natural world, bereavement, salvation, freedom, different kinds of love, obsession...), I think it is best suited for teenagers who can make sense of them.

My favourite movie ever!
This is the movie that turned me horse-mad as a kid. I haven't seen it in years. It not only holds up to my memories, it far exceeded them! A stunning movie, regardless of whether or not you're horse crazy. Love it!!
