1/10
Did any reviewers read the book?

This was such a disappointment. In fact I couldn't even go beyond halfway before turning it off. Glad I only paid 99 cents for it. This strays so far from the book that it's a joke. Black Beauty tells the story in the book. The friendship between Black Beauty and Ginger is central but Ginger barely gets a mention. Started off so we'll with the beautiful Dutchess giving birth then down hill all the way from there. So basically rubbish. I suppose if you haven't read the book it's passable given all the good reviews, but I grew up with this story and I'm going to read the book again because the book is excellent. I can't write 600 words about this. Nothing good to say. It's a terrible movie and has nothing to do with the book but is spruiked as a "faithful adaptation". Obviously even the Director hadn't read the book.
