OK today had to sit still for a bit and caught most of this on TV. Not the original film which I remember with fondness - but a modern travesty. You could play spot the similarities to the original book, and have a very short list! Ken is a girl and Flicka is black! Plus all the horse scenes have to be violent and dramatic, overdubbed with stallion screams to an extent which reminded me of that awful Horse Whisperer film, and the rodeo scenes were not fun to watch at all! It has made me long to watch the original again.

I have to admit I've not seen either film.
I can't stand it when they dub all that horse neighing in for no good reason. Drives me potty!

Yes i heard about this film and commented on it on my website. In general I don't like remakes and why change Ken to a girl anyhow? Is it cos they think horsey girlies will not identify with a male? Wonder how we all managed back in the days we read the book/watched the old film and had to identify with a BOY!

I got the DVD cheap from a charity shop. Watched first half hour or so but then the DVD was corrupted so saw no further - not necessary a bad thing I feel!!!
