Reviews
That was an excellent one.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The film tells the story of a boy from Puerto Rico who works selling fruit and whose life changes the day he meets a paso fino palomino, a horse descendant from the Spanish horses named this way for the special way of smooth walking he has. More a documentary than a film and although not one of Disney's best, it is still an enjoyable and entertaining movie for all the family containing good values as well as a good story. I do recommend it to all horse and Disney lovers. The film was filmed on location in the Caribbean and the boy role is played by the son of a Puerto Rico famous entertainer. The horse is named Cristobalito for Cristopher Columbus.
