Amazon.com essential video: Adapted from the beloved novel by Walter Farley, this 1979 family classic was hailed by no less than hard-to-please critic Pauline Kael, who wrote that "it may be the greatest children's movie ever made." A visual feast from start to finish, the timeless tale of The Black Stallion plays out on almost mythic terms. A young boy survives a shipwreck and is stranded on a deserted island with a graceful black stallion, with whom the boy develops an almost empathic friendship. After being rescued and returning home, the two make a winning team as jockey and lightning-fast racehorse under the tutelage of a passionate trainer, played by Mickey Rooney in an Oscar-nominated role. From its serenely hypnotic island sequence to the breathtaking race scenes, this delightful film is guaranteed to enthrall any viewer, regardless of age. The Black Stallion is a genuine masterpiece of family entertainment. --Jeff Shannon

Very Poor Service, Very poor quality DVD received

The DVD was of poor quality, obviously copied, the sound tract did not match the words being spoken in the movie. No response from the seller when we inquired about this. We also paid for expedited shipping and received standard shipping. Would definitely not recomment this seller. We had to go to good ol' Hollywood Video to get a quality product. We are embarrassed to have said we bought on Amazon.com ... Read More
