the pearly moon has a beauty spot 
grubbing about in rehab chic 
dodging monster germs 

what is my ghost doing in there with
the neigh-bours 

legendary splendor, panoramic drama and heart-stopping intensity
Turning a treasured play into a movie is a job for either an idiot or harum sacrum
an illusionist with dogged faith in his own instincts
a boy’s bulletproof love for his horse
life-size marionettes with real emotions and body language that moved like a Heros rotor

whose career is already reaching g force
sold to buck the cannons through the trenches 

a four-legged superstar literally dumb, even though he has a way of communicating. What he goes through is so wrenching that never before has the disclaimer “not tested on animals” carried so much badly needed reassurance. The most cuddly horse on the screen

a requiem of a film that clocks in at two hours and 20 minutes, but I cherished every single second

a boy in love with a horse I didn’t miss the dummies at all. The result is an individualised experience that inspires the type of love audiences used to have for Skippy … The vast and spreadeagled screenplay respects the story enough to leave it unchanged without bells

The next hour is told from the horse’s point of view

Two males will lock each other's antlers together and try to push each other away. The most dominant males can collect as many as 15-20 females to mate with. They return to the main herd in preparation for the rut. Their testicles and epidymus increase considerably in size as the rut approaches. Prior to the rut, they loose the velvet from their antlers, their necks thicken, their stomachs draw in and they grow a mane

They become restless, start chasing after cows and testing their strength in snort, ferocious fights. During the rut they may fight until one is killed. Yearling bulls may actually keep after a female until they kill her by pawing with the front feet every time she lies down

slow and steady wins the race
