Anna Sewell's timeless Victorian novel comes touchingly to life in this big-screen adaptation. Lyrically recounted from the handsome stallion's perspective, the film traces his fortunes -- from his happy beginnings on a sprawling, verdant country manor to working-class London's sooty, teeming streets. As he passes from owner to owner during a two-decade span, the ever-faithful steed encounters the best and worst of the human spirit. Carol Thompson (Edward Scissorhands) wrote this wonderfully moving film adaptation of the classic children's story told from the perspective of a horse named Black Beauty.
