Anna Sewell's classic 1877 novel beautifully comes to life in this family drama set in England. Told from the point of view of Black Beauty himself, the story sheds light on the details surrounding the colt's birth and his perception of humans (he has various owners throughout his life). While some owners are compassionate -- none more than Joe Evans (Mark Lester), the boy who first owns the colt.

"The movie is named after a horse, but ignores the horse for most of the film. Most of the scenes take place indoors and, when Black Beauty is in the scene, it almost always feels like he was added as an afterthought and rarely ever focuses on him. Instead, the movie deeply explores Black Beauty's owners and the drama of their situation, constantly stealing the spotlight from the main character (i.e. Black Beauty)."
