Chase Moore and Arie Verveen are the human stars of this period drama about the extraordinary life and times of a horse. In 1914, a German supply ship is en route to Africa with a cargo of work horses when one of the mares gives birth to a foal. The pony is soon separated from his mother when the ship docks in a mining community, and he has a hard time getting along, but an orphaned boy who works at a stable takes a liking to the little horse and looks after him. When war breaks out, the stable is abandoned and the pony escapes into a nearby desert, where an Oryx antelope and a native girl become his companions and teach him how to survive on his own. Running Free was directed by award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov; it was produced by Jean-Jacques Annaud, who displayed a flair for unusual stories about animals with The Bear. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    As a horse person I can say that it was very fun to watch, but i would find this specific title to be more enthusiastic for children who have a love for horses.

    The cinematography of the horses in the desert is wonderful to watch as an adult who loves working with horses. If you want to watch horse behavior this is a fairly good movie that is mainly focused on interactions between horses giving the horses a lot of camera time - rather than the human drama in most horse movies. It is narrated entirely by the young horse which can be very cheesy at times for adults - but would be a good pace for children to follow. If you love horses I reccomend seeing it at least once.

    What a delightful little movie. There was nothing in it that I would not be able to share with a younger child. It was a tad unrealistic in thought processes of the horse, but after all, it is a movie. Horse loving children will adore this movie.
