All the negative reviews must be from people who don't like change! Agreed, it's way different than the classic '90s black beauty, but once you get past that it, is a darling film. I absolutely love black beauty, although she is not a mustang...I was confused by this. I like the fact that it was a female led cast. The scenery was breathtaking, I love out west and I love Mr. Manly's New York ranch. Very warm and fuzzy feelings for me as I used to have my own female quarterhorse when I lived with my mom on her ranch! This movie is adorable, the horses are so gorgeous they literally steal the show, especially black beauty! Watch this movie if you love horses!
