My daughter (six years old) did enjoy this movie. It was slow and predictable to me, but hey, it was not geared for my age bracket.

This really is a great family flick. Great story and touchingly portrayed.

At least it was short! It did explain where the Black got his name, but didn't hold a candle to the first 2 movies. It seemed too Americanized. The grandfather forbids the girl to ride in the race. Hmm... I wonder what she'll do (about 2 seconds later).

The movie was way short so we spent the rest of the evening watching the extras which was quite fun. My 9 year old daughter really enjoyed it. The scenery was great. The best was watching how they train the horses. A must see. The movie was very short, only ran about 45 minutes.
