THE BLACK STALLION RETURNS (Theatrical Release USA 1983)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

The Black Stallion Returns does not serve at the same entertainment level as its parent movie, The Black Stallion, partially because movies that work around the ‘love of horses’ theme need to be presented at highly spaced intervals to fully appreciate. The film, however, still delivers due to the wise choice of moving this story into a Lawrence of Arabia desert setting which adds enough value/difference to once again capture the status of a classic children’s watch. Great work for Director Robert Delva.

Yes. This is a sweet, clean adventure for the whole family and can be a good child/adult share flick especially if the child loves horses.
