A wonderful film. The first 40 minutes are as beautiful and well worked out as anything in film history. The slow bonding of horse and boy stranded on a desert island is exquisitely rendered here with many, many stunning shots.
After the action moves to civilization the story morphs into a Big Game saga but even that is so well done that I was willing to forgive and just sink into it. It was a fairy tale with a rousing climax.
Much use of long lens throughout which gave a sense on compression, massiveness and immediacy. Also, great use of sound to enhance the total sensory experience.
One of the best movies ever made for children of all ages.
