i watched this movie against my better judgment - i am so not a fan of mickey rooney. i ended up watching it in fast forward to minimise brain damage. saccharine music, execrable plot, wooden 'acting' and GUESS WOT???? NOT ONE STALLION IN THE WHOLE MOVIE. unless you are 5 years old (in which case you will fall asleep before half-way through) give it a major miss. this movie reminded me of one of those little golden books published by well-intentioned but hopelessly misguided adults who think that if a message has constant piano in the background, pretty horses, gruff but kindly old folk, token Indian mysticism and sleeveless denim jackets (how tough) it will circumvent completely natural teenage angst and make us all want to square dance in the dust. i don't think so. this movie is a collection of clichéd and stilted scenes which confirmed my worst fears; major studios have little appreciation of reality and absolutely no originality.
