Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who's ever talked to their pet and readers who like to compare the book and the screen version. An animal steals a fair few scenes. Shelve it next to The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse or The Secret Garden. Adapted from a book, so readers can compare notes.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1969: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A young boy, unable to speak, befriends a wild colt with blue eyes and a falcon named "Lady".
