Can a wild horse with a bad attitude and a not-quite-wild but pretty darn sullen teenage girl with a bad attitude be the best things that ever happened to each other? Though we guess the answer pretty early on in Flicka, it doesn't diminish the feel-good family film one bit. The film is a remake of the 1947 My Friend Flicka itself based on the bestselling (and still riveting) novel by Mary O'Hara, and starring a young Roddy McDowall as the aimless teen hero. This 2006 update changes the hero to a heroine, Katy (Alison Lohman), though the dynamic is similar, and in some ways makes the appeal of the film broader. After all, young girls love their horses, and Katy's moxie and determination, as she opens her heart to the wild filly, a touchingly and humanly conveyed. As Katy struggles with her relationship with her gruff dad (given an excellent performance by country star Tim McGraw), she finds she can gain confidence and be the person her father wants her to be--solely by being herself as she connects with Flicka the horse. The cinematography is stunning, and showcases a part of America that once was seen and celebrated often in films, and lately so rare as to be precious. --A.T. Hurley

Lame Remake.......2007-06-13

Whoever green-lit this remake needs to be horsewhipped. Now I don't expect every viewer to be coming from my perspective--I read the 1941 novel My Friend Flicka, watched the 1943 movie many times throughout my childhood and, like the protagonist of the story, broke my own horse to ride. However, I do expect that anyone with an iota of horse sense will immediately agree that this is one lame remake.

The basics are in place: a horse-raising family living in Wyoming struggles to hold onto their ranch while their dreamy youngest child latches onto a wild mustang and becomes convinced that their fates are intertwined. There, the similarities end.

In the update, 12-year-old Ken has morphed into 16-year-old Katy (Alison Lohman), and Flicka, once a delicate sorrel filly we met as a foal and watched grow into a racehorse, is portrayed by a fully-grown, massive black male horse (though he is still referred to as a "she"). Apparently, once Ken lost his manhood, he also lost his ability to ride: Katy falls off of Flicka so many times, head injuries are the only explanation for her incredibly stupid behavior throughout the movie.

If you are hoping, at least, for any semblance of authenticity when it comes to the horsey scenes, forget it. For months, Flicka lives in a roundpen with no feeder, no water bucket and no shelter. Katy has no idea how to properly break and train a horse, but of course Flicka--after a stint in the rodeo, no less--plods along like she's a Pony Rides veteran.

Add to all of the above: over-wrought performances (even the horse overacts!), ding-bat dialogue, and a never-ending barrage of New-Agey songs set to dramatic montages, and you've got the "Flicka" remake. No wonder two horses died during the production of this film--they probably committed suicide.

The only saving grace for this DVD is a delightful photo slide-show of real girls and their horses, which plays out through the end-credits. It's much more stirring and heartwarming than the film itself.

Flicka.......2007-06-13

This heartwarming, breathtaking, exciting, PG rated, DVD movie is one of the best I've seen. Featuring Alison Lohman, Maria Bello and country music star Tim McGraw. If you country lovers are excited already, then get ready for an even bigger excitement!
16-year-old Katy McLaughlin (Lohman) finds a black mustang in the mountains where her family's ranch is set. Katy falls in love with the horse and wants it to be hers. Katy sets out to find and rope the mustang. She then sets out on the struggle to tame the horse. But it's not going to be easy this mustang is pure wild! Taking days to tame, Katy's not going to give up. Katy soon reach's the heart of the horse. Flicka meaning beautiful young girl, is what Katy names her precious horse. Together, Flicka and Katy saddle out for adventures to come. Her and Flicka know that they must become a hard working team in order to stand up to their challenges and face them. But one challenge throws them off. The two meet up with a mountain lion when traveling through the woods to home. Both scared and not knowing what to do. What will happen to Flicka and Katy? Your going to have to see the movie to find out.
I thought this was a great movie! The best! When I heard about it I knew I had to see it. And when I did I loved it! The end was so sad. Movie's never make me cry no matter how sad, but this one did make me cry. This movie took me on an adventure, and I hope it takes you on one too.
I recommend this movie for country lovers, ranchers, and horse lovers because this movie has this all packed in it. I recommend you see Flicka.

I was so disappointed in this movie, being a great fan of Mary O'Hara's original book. Tim MCGraw was better than I expected---everything else was worse!

boycott my dead flicka.......2007-06-05

I made the mistake of renting this and watched a few minutes -- only to discover with a little online cruising that I should have done ahead of time that two horses were killed in the making of the movie. I didn't watch any further. Who can consider being entertained by any movie knowing animals were tortured and killed during the making of it? It's nauseating and disgusting.

Horse lovers young and old will celebrate this utterly enjoyable and marvelous-looking animated film. The titular stallion runs free in the Cimarron (New Mexico) wilderness until a series of men try to master the proud horse, leading to adventures through a U.S. Cavalry fort, Native American settlements, and a railroad camp. Despite a heavy dose of political correctness and realism (the animals don't talk; we only hear Spirit's internal monologue, voiced by Matt Damon), directors Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook give their hero many only-in-a-movie moments, including an action sequence rivaling any of Rambo's escapes. The stirring mix of 2-D and 3-D animation is absolutely stunning and aptly fueled by composer Hans Zimmer's synthesized score. The film earns one demerit for '80s rocker Bryan Adams's abundant songs--a different singer could have brought more to the film. Rated G but there is some rough treatment of horses shown, so nix the sensitive preschoolers. --Doug Thomas

this movie is a favorite of our entire family, including the music (we bought the CD). The only part that is mildly concerning is where the colonel orders that Spirit be starved for 2 days in order to break his spirit. the colonel hopes that this will show his men that he can control anything. but you are relieved when Spirit not only refuses to be ridden but escapes.

Good messages. nothing offensive. I secretly hope my [...]will pick this when he wants a movie, as I enjoy it so much myself. My husband is also a fan.

Touching Wild Horses is Worth Seeing!!.......2007-01-29

It's called "Touching Wild Horses" with Jane Seymour. Kinda like a Hallmark movie, you know, no bad language, no sex, no nudity just a good story and good acting. It's about a boy who goes through a very traumatic event and gets sent to an aunt he doesn't know to live on an island that has wild horses. I'm sure you've seen the same thing before in another movie, but this one is worth seeing!!

good for older kids.......2006-11-22

Good story about helping those who are hurting and helpless. Held my attention to the end. The horses are beautiful. There was one crack at the Catholic church for its stand on morality. My 8 year old was a little disturbed by the nightmare sequences involving the deaths of a character's family members.

Touching Wild Horses.......2005-03-20

I live in Boulder, Colorado and on March 19,2005. I rented the DVD movie of Touching Wild Horses staring Jane Seymour. I enjoyed the movie and all the horses.
But what got me was the way the Aunt started out, rough and un caring but with a little help from a boy and a horse foal named John.The Aunt saw for herself that being caring and opening up does more then acting rough and uncaring. I really also enjoyed the views of Sable Island.

Loved it.......2004-10-04

I am a huge Jane Seymour fan anyway and thought she did wonderfully in this film. I liked the underlying story of how Mark's family died. It kept me guessing. The horses and scenery were beautiful. Even though the story line moved slowly at times, I still liked it. It showed the natural beauty out there. The innocence of the horses was wonderful. I would especially recommend this movie to people who like nature.

Wonderful story paired with breathtaking cimematography.......2004-09-11

After a terrible accident rips his family apart, 12-year-old Mark is shipped off to live with his aunt Fiona, whom he has never met. From their first chilly meeting, their relationship seems doomed. Fiona, a reclusive researcher living a hermit-like existance on a windswept island, is quite happy with her life and certainly doesn't welcome the intrusion of a child. She has spent happy, quiet years studying the wild horses who share her island and she quickly makes it clear that she will not allow Mark to endanger her position on the island. For his part, Mark tries his best to please his aunt, although his natural young-boy energies and curiosity tend to push her nerves to the edge.

Eventually, both learn to give a little and their relationship slowly begins to warm, with each learning to enjoy the other, despite their quirks and their lives settle into a comfortable rhythm.

When a sudden storm leaves the newest wild foal orphaned, however, Mark is unable to walk away and allow nature to "take it's course." As Fiona's residence on the island depends on her strict adherence to the law (which forbids any physical contact with the wild horses,) she is forced to choose between her idyllic life and the life of the helpless foal.

Starring Jane Seymour, the beauty of this film lies not just in the heart-warming story, but also in the stunning footage of the island and its lovely equine inabitants.

Very sweet family movie!.......2006-07-30

This is a very cute family movie about three kids who hide in their brothers trunk of his car when he leaves for Nevada. The horse crazy kids thought they could catch a wild horse and bring it home after seeing a tape on wild horses in class.It gets a tad more complicated with two bad guys going after a prize winning horse they want to capture and get money for. But it interlocks with the storyline,and makes for a very sweet show! It can catch the eye of all ages. I am thirteen and my sisters are,ten,and four and we all have watched this show for years now,renting it over and over again at the video store. I would recommend it to anyone!

fun and adorable.......2006-05-28

This movie was both fun and adorable at the same time. The child actors gave strong performances and portrayed distinctive and engaging characters. The adult actors provided strong support throughout the entire movie. The scenery was fantastic and there was plenty of light humor throughout this movie. The plot wasn't quite believeable, but it wasn't so far-fetched that it wasn't enjoyable. An eight-year-old boy who dreams of owning his own horse seizes an opportunity to sneak a ride to Nevada with his older brother (who is going to visit his girl friend who he winds up dropping) in order to capture wild mustangs. Two other kids wind up sneaking along. Add a couple of horse theives into the mix and a pretty young lady to attract the interest of the older brother and things get interesting. Who would enjoy watching this movie? One audience is likely to be children under the age of ten. The pacing, humor, and action in the movie would attract this audience. The other main audience that would apprectiate this movie is adults who get a kick out of silly kid movies. This movie does a good job of presenting a captivating story without getting preachy or sappy in any way. There were a couple of moral lessons thrown in along the way, but they fit seemlessly into the plot and don't seem forced in any way. There is also a strong and appealling sub-plot in this movie involving a budding romantic relationship between two people in their early twenties which integrates quite naturally with the main plot.

A real favorite of my 4 year old grandaughter.......2006-03-19

This was a birthday gift for our 4 year old grandaughter who
loves horses. She's already watched it several times since
early March.

Solid Family Entertainment.......2006-01-18

This is a very entertaining movie, and not irritating (like many kids' movies can be) when your kids want to watch it several times in a row. Absolutely beautiful footage of the desert, gorgeous horse, and really cute kids. Three kids stow away in big brother's car, with the plan to capture three wild mustangs in the Nevada desert and "ride them home for supper". Lots of exciting scenes, the kids get to be the heroes, and it isn't too scary for the little ones. Our teenaged neighbors enjoy the movie, just as much as my not-yet-teens do.

I suspect that the "professional movie reviewer" who gave this movie a bad rating wasn't really watching the movie, since she got the entire plot wrong. Definitely worth the money!

An adult's view.......2005-03-30

First the bad: story not totally believable. So-so acting by adults. Dialogue n eeded a rewrite.
Now the good: adorable child actors. Interesting, if not totally believable, story. Excellent photography and beautiful scenery. Fine transfer, though DVD has limited extras.
All in all a pretty good deal, i.e. for the budget the thing probably was shot on. Overall a good effort.

Wild Horses.......2005-03-21

The place is New Zealand, the time is the present, and the story is about what happens in a small community when the trees have been cut down and the sawmill closes. Some of the workers, the ones who can shoot, hire on with a venison packing company to hunt and pack the plentiful deer. Others just drift away. The ones with an independent bent strike out on their own. Mitch (Keith Aberdein) is one such free spirit, and he decides to earn a living by capturing and reselling the free roaming wild horses in New Zealand's Tongariro National Park.
Mitch and a couple of his mates prove to be inept, and loud, horse catchers. Essential to the plot but bad for them the ruckus they raise not catching horses spook the deer, making the venison harvest difficult. Plant owner Benson (Michael Haigh), in the best western tradition, hires a black clad professional, Tyson (Bruno Lawrence) to kill the horses so they'll quit interfering with the deer hunt. In the meantime, Mitch enlists the help of two skilled horse capturers - the wise old Sam (Tom Poata) and the pretty young Sara (Robyn Gibbes.)
I liked WILD HORSES a lot. It was nice to see a conflict western in a new and, to me at least, exotic location. The rules are a little different in New Zealand. As one character says, "Horses, deer, rabbits - they've all got to go. None of them are native." In other words, horses can be shot where they stand, with impunity, and left to rot where they fall. In fact, there are some disturbing scenes where it appears horses are actually shot and killed. The movie doesn't condone the killing, and it has dramatic impact, but anyone sensitive to graphic and realistic scenes such as those should be forewarned.
If you can abide the violence WILD HORSES is a deeply rewarding film. I especially liked the way the hired-gun Tyson developed. Early in the movie the veteran wild horse catcher Sam tells Mitch that "We leave a few of the best stallions to breed. That way there'll always be horses." The best of those is an elusive silver stallion. Tyson reaches an agreement with Mitch that the silver stallion will be the last horse shot by his men. The stallion, "something that stands up for itself out there," binds Mitch and Sara and Tyson together and propel them all into a surprising, although inevitable, conclusion.

WILD HORSES is a modest little gem of a movie. The color is a little washed-out and it contains some short scenes of graphic violence. Save for that I strongly recommend it.

"Tim Holt B-Western Series ... Wild Horse Mesa (1947) ... RKO Radio Pictures".......2007-02-14

RKO Radio Pictures present "WILD HORSE MESA" (1947) (60 mins/B&W) (Dolby digitally remastered) --- actor Tim Holt graduated to starring his own series of 1940's "B" westerns and to playing solid supporting roles in higher budget features ... At the peak of his career in the 1940's "B" westerns, he was the "fastest draw" in the movies with the ability to draw his revolver in five frames of film (slightly over one sixth of a second) ... From 1941-43 and 1948-52 Tim Holt was a top ten box office star ... Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1991.

Under Wallace Grissell (Director), Herman Schlom (Producer), Zane Grey (author of novel), Norman Houston (screenplay), Paul Sawtell (Original Score), Frank Redman (Cinematographer), Desmond Marquette (Editor), Lucius O. Croxton (Art Direction), Albert S. D'Agostino(Art Direction), Adolph Kuri (Set Decoration), Darrell Silvera (Set Decoration), John Pommer (Second Unit Director), Roy Granville (Sound Department), Jean L. Speak (Sound Department) ------ the cast includes Tim Holt (Dave Jordan), Nan Leslie (Sue Melbern), Richard Martin (Chito Jose Gonzalez Bustamante Rafferty), Tom Keene (Hod Slack), Jason Robards Sr. (Pop Melbern), Tony Barrett (Jim Horn), Harry Woods (Jay Olmstead), William Gould (Marshal Bradford), Robert Bray (Horn rider Tex), Dick Foote (Melburn rider Rusty), Frank Yaconelli (Clemente, the mule driver) ------ the story line is the classic tale from the pen of Zane Grey, with Dave Jordan (Tim Holt) and Chito Rafferty (Richard Martin) searching for wild horses for Nan Leslie (Sue Melbern) and Pop Melbern (Jason Robards Sr) ... but beware of Jay Olmstead (Harry Woods) who is also interested in capturing those wild mustangs, with murder in his heart ... what part does veteran actor Tom Keene play in this exciting adventure, is he on the side of good or evil ... can Tim Holt bring in the killer and rustlers, while Chito is clearly mooning over every senorita that catches his eye ... one of my favorite villains Harry Woods gives an outstanding performance as the number one baddie of B-Westerns --- great stunt work by the RKO stunt personnel David Sharpe (stunt double: Tim Holt) --- don't leave the theater until the final scene ... another winner from the vaults of RKO Radio Pictures --- this is a must watch for the B-Westerns fans in all of us.

Description

The popular image of the horse may be as a domestic animal living in a stall or pasture, but the horse is actually a naturally-occurring living being that survived on its own for untold ages before it was domesticated. Today, in the United States as well as other parts of the world, horses continue to survive on their own with no help from humans. This video utilizes years of experience dealing with horses plus the wild horses of Shackleford Island, North Carolina, to explore the characteristics of the horse as it was designed to be - how it eats, lives, interacts, and survives. This understanding of the horse as a natural animal is then compared with some of the most popular ways of keeping and dealing with horses, and a more natural way of keeping horses is discussed. The second section contains in depth discussion about how horses communicate, not only with each other but also with humans, and how we, sometimes without realizing it, communicate with our horses. These insights will allow the horse owner to understand the causes of many common horse problems and keep and deal with horses in an empathetic manner that is more harmonious with the horse's natural ways.This is not a demonstration video showing work with horses, and it is not a horse training video; rather, it provides essential, foundational understanding that encourages horse owners to step back, take a few minutes, and think about their horses and their interaction with their horses. Useful for those with extensive experience with horses as well as those just beginning. An essential resource for all who want to understand the horse as a whole and maximize their enjoyment of their horse.

Not recommended.......2007-03-01

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and was very disapointed. We use many natural horsemanship methods with our herd, but this DVD was all wrong. I do not recommend this to anyone.

Natural does not mean "no care, no deworming and no hoofcare". I would not follow this DVD's advise with my animals.

From the Author.......2007-02-23

The idea for this video came from years of interacting with horse owners during my hoof care practice. I saw the same misunderstandings of horses over and over and decided to produce a source that would address these misunderstandings. I had no desire to promote myself as a personality or to claim to have some kind of breakthrough method, as there is too much of that in the horse world already.

It is presented for the good of the horse and from my love of horses. Most of all it is presented in the hope that it can help improve horses' lives, as it helps owners to see their horses as living, breathing, feeling beings, not just objects to be used. It does not describe horsekeeping in a conventional manner congruent with veterinary and pharmaceutical interventions, it certainly won't please the supplement manufacturers, and it does not follow the image aspect of horsekeeping as promoted in major horse magazines by those with an endless array of products to sell. It tries to go beyond all that and give the horse owner a glimpse of something beyond the horizons of what every one else is doing, beyond the horse world of product, image, and personality marketing.

Much of the material is just common sense--things that most horse owners already know but don't think about. I purposefully presented it in an easy to understand, conversational style, for I wanted it to be just like I was standing around and talking to someone.

It will not tell you how to get your horse to do what you want, but it might help you understand better what your horse wants...and needs.

Interesting but different.......2007-01-25

I got this as a Christmas present. Didn't know what to expect. I liked it. At least Tim Ware's not just another guy dressed up as a cowboy saying the same old things. What he said really made me think. It's stuff I knew but never really thought about in that way. Those who are stuck in their own ways won't like it, but those with open minds and wanting to learn will.

Oh, Well..........2007-01-18

From the cover of this DVD, I really expected it to be pretty good. Turns out I was wrong. No useful info at all. Just a pleasant country fellow looking into the camera and saying whatever came into his mind about horses. It seemed like the narrator followed no script, outline, or even train of thought - he just said whatever came into his mind (sometimes over and over and over and...)

Worst video EVER.......2007-01-08

I was merely disappointed by the lack of anything interesting in this video until I got half way through it when he started talking about vaccines and deworming - then I became absolutely horrified and disgusted. This man actually thinks that horses kept in boarding stable situations do not need regular deworming or vaccinations! It's obvious that he belongs to the crowd that believes horses should not be kept by humans unless they can roam on land big enough for them to get a natural diet, natural water, etc. Well, down here on planet Earth, it doesn't always work that way.

Go ahead and get this video if you want to watch some guy, standing in a field, droning on and on about how everything you do with your horse should be done the "natural" way - and if you don't, then you just don't understand horses. Oh, and by the way, if you don't vaccinate or deworm your horse and he gets sick and dies, that's just nature's way of telling you that your horse wasn't strong enough to live. You think I'm exaggerating? Get that video and see for yourself.
