A fascinating journey, one of constant healing...a must to read for all of those connected in some way to anyone on the autistic spectrum.

Secretariat was a fantastic horse, and this is a great movie telling the story of the people behind the horse. The real footage of him winning the Belmont Stakes consistently gives me goosebumps.

The picture on here does not do this item justice!! This is just beautiful!!! The horse's mane has tassels that turn different colors depending on which way you're standing in front of it. The red balloon really makes the piece pop!!

OK, so it is a wee bit on the corny side - horses are not able to do some of the things the horsey hero (Spirit) in this story is capable of doing; a horse with quite human-like intelligence. But, quite frankly, I didn't care. It was a great, fun story with a wonderful, feel good ending. The animation was beautiful, even breathtaking at times. It is a movie I would have liked to have seen on a big screen actually. I watched this movie with a 12-year old neighbour (it was her's, and she wanted me to see it; I think it was a sort of "I'm sorry" for having subjected me to the horrendous "8 Crazy Nights" the day before, lol). I was as enthralled as she was!  I am not a Bryan Adams fan, but the music fit the story well. I personally wouldn't buy the sound track, but a Bryan Adams fan would enjoy it.
The only slightly annoying thing (probably just to adults) was the continuous whinnying. While this made sense since it was, after all, about horses, it did become a bit much at times. At least the horses didn't talk like humans. The animation and story more than made up for any of the longer whinnying scenes, however.
Most of the story was told in the eyes of the horses which were animated in wonderfully expressive ways. Every emotion was expressed successfully; bewilderment, fear, anger, sorrow, and more. A real tribute to the talent of the animators.
I am sure that no-one will regret purchasing this movie - it can be enjoyed by children and their parents alike.

Buck the man, and Buck the horseman, both appear in this video set, which I found useful not only in training my mare, but in seeing how I live my own life. A beautiful portrait of a fine horseman, who has extraordinary gifts in communicating his knowledge.

Beautiful journey between a man and his horse. I highly recommend this story for all, but especially for those who appreciate love, commitment, dedication , and a genuine friendship. Every parent should read this to your child, teaches compassion and to follow their dreams and passion. P.S the photos are worth the price of admission... just beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful.  Attention to detail is spectacular, a real work of art.  Very pleased with purchase, as is my granddaughter, the collector,
and horse lover.

I enjoyed this movie very much. It shows a wide variety of people who love horses and how they all train differently. It is good to see people trying to help the horses have a new and happy life.

Ken is bored with school and doesn't apply himself so fails English.  He is given a horse to take care of in order to make him take responsibility.  He chooses a filly and names her "Flicka".  How he tames the filly and earns her trust and love, how he overcomes his father's dislike of the Albino's bloodlines in Flicka and how he earns his father's respect is the meat of the story.

I loved this series when I was a teenager, and still enjoy it as an adult.

Its great for anyone who loves horses.

Beautiful visual and audio representation of Cuba. My only drawback to this one is that there were some repeated clips from one of his other DVD's but if you see it as a 'stand alone" product it was wonderful.

When you start watching "War Horse" movie, make sure you carve out 2.5 hours out of your time to watch this wonderful movie.  The story is set in early 1900s in England just before an onset of the Great War.  A young man from rural England finds himself training a horse to plow fields in the area that is clearly hostile to any agricultural endeavor.  The horse itself is a magnificent animal.  He is not a work horse; he is smaller and more fit to be a race horse than anything else.  His personality is amazing and before long, young man Albert and this new horse he names Joey create unbreakable bond.

As Wold War I breaks out and Germany declares war on England, Joey is sold to the British army to help out during the war.  His young caretaker is heartbroken from being separated from the animal that is clearly his great companion.  Joey first becomes officer's horse, but as war goes on his destiny leads him from British to German and then French population.  Joey makes friendhip with another horse as equally beautiful and honorable as himself.  As story evolves, we see how at times of war people of all backgrounds and all generations are able to connect with this amazing animal that allows them to connect with their own humanity.  Joey is able to give them back their dignity, love and understanding that even humans lose touch with after seeing all the horrors of the war.

I will not retell the movie, because it will spoil the viewing of another Steven Speilberg's hearwarming story.  This film is meant for all generations.  It has moments that are touching and deeply emotional.  I enjoyed this film from start to finish.

This is a great book for a horse loving child. The pictures are just absolutely gorgeous! It is similar to the other fun schooling books but has a different perspective. I love that it has cursive writing practice in it!

Actually really enjoyed this movie. A horse goes from a boys friend to being a war horse. The horse does make it home again. It's a touching story. Honestly the reason I bought it is because Tom Hiddleston is in it. It is actually worth watch, I cried. May not be right for younger members of the family to watch.

Tommie Turvey caught my attention as the trainer of the Clydesdales for the 2013 Superbowl Bud commercial.  I found out he had trained the real star of this movie, Bob, the Gypsy Vanner horse, so I had to see the results.  I always enjoy watching trained horses and how they respond, but this movie was a joy to watch in general.  It does a service of keeping horses in the eyes and hearts of young people.  We are becoming an increasingly urban society with little heart for animals.  Movies like this help a lot.  Thanks!

I truly miss pictures that are made such as this. But the enhances background is beautiful and breathtaking.its worth a view an a massive screen. The story an the end are all well in place but the middle has some sticky points.

I was quite pleased with this product, in receiving the product on time, and reliability on the product being everything it was supposed to be. The beauty of this particular puzzle's artwork of the herd of horses running through the snow was even more enhanced once the puzzle was completed to it's full size. I'm sure anyone who loves horses will enjoy this puzzle. As enjoyable this particular puzzle was, I find jigsaw puzzles, in general, great for keeping the mind active in skillful concentration, as well as, relaxing and entertaining.

His hooves beating aginst the cold misty Earth sound that of rolling thunder, the strike of hot lightning is like his strenth,the trees sway as the golden Burmby, son of the wind rules the WILD untame horses of the high mountians! You are sure of his heards safety any time he is around. This movies is still as graceful, and captivating as it was when I was little. It has some beautiful slow motion senes which I liked, others you may need to slow down yourself to take it all in. It is a story like no other even the oldest horse lover can love. Let's face it some movies you see as a kid and love, but grow out of when you get older. NOT this movie. I can't wait to show this to my Neice. Then she can fully understand why I named my Chestnut with slivery white main and tail Wind Dancer. Like Thawra Dancer was born ona WILD Spring morning, with driving rain, with plenty of wind and thunder rolling throught the sky. Thawra means wind, and my little colt trotted out into the wind and danced with grace and spirit. That's how he got his nameWind Dancer. I gave his mom the name Beauty for Bell form Beauty and the Beast, which is not far from Thawra's mothers name Bell Bell . He grew into a wonderful, thilling adult, with a kind but wild spirt. To this day no one but me has ever gotten close to riding him but me. I encourage any horse lover young or old to see this movie. It's a family flim that ranks high in the best movies ever made!
