WWTD 222 - Miracle of the White Stallions: Let's Name All the Horse Movies
Manage episode 244543680 series 1051815
This week's movie gets filed under both subgenre "horse movie" and subgenre "war movie" in the Disney canon. But despite those promising categories, MIRACLE OF THE WHITE STALLIONS is dry like a cracker...though still not altogether unpleasant. It's sort of like the dressage style tricks the titular White Stallions do (in multiple extended sequences) - we understand that there's supposed to be something cool and impressive about it, but it just isn't quite coming through. Just like how we understand the lead of this movie is meant to be Austrian, but he's just coming off as corn-fed Nebraskan.
