I was actually pleasantly surprised when I saw this movie. I thought Beauty's voice over really made the movie personal. It was heartwarming and ,at times, funny. My four year old enjoyed it, fortunately he was too young to understand about Ginger's death and the animal abuse. I have already recommened this movie to other family members. You won't regret seeing this film!

You have to be old enough to under stand it and when you do you realize what a beautiful trhing it is.

This really upset my sensitive 7 year old. She cried several times, even when the movie ended "happily" - Ginger dying and the mistreatment of the horses really affected her. She wanted to give the movie away after seeing it.

I absolutely love animals including horses, but I just can't bring myself to rate it higher. I've always been a sensitive kid, but this movie was particularly devastating to me with animal abuse and Ginger's death... it's just too sad. As great as "Black Beauty" is, I would never watch it again or recommend it to a sensitive person.
