This movie inspires, the bloodlines are passed down through the strong breeding of the Lambert Morgans of Quietude Farms in WVA.

This childhood movie not a true tale of Figure...you need to read the Morgan Horse history BUT family clean and enjoyable with many tale that is close to what history records about the horse. It led me to buy my first Morgan Mare, Pristina's Diana Redwood. My daughter was raised on that mare and never a more safer breed if you follow the Quietude bloodlines. On her sire side she was 14 generations from Figure. Smart beyond any horse that I've ever had the pleasure of owner. Due to a divorce I lost her but she was my first, not my last. If you want a child safe, bomb proof, animal for riding and thinks for itself yet is gentle enough to allow your 9 year old to lay bareback in a 100 acre field while she east grass and your 9 year old is laying on her back on the horse's back (stretched out no less) while reading a book for hours then look into the Lambert bloodlines of the Morgan Horse. I could tell you many stories all true. We had 7 & 8 year old children training on her before she was 3 herself. MORGAN HORSES RULE! I found Tina after if researched for 2 years for a horse that would keep my "boo-boo, band-aide daughter" safe. I found the Lambert Morgans in West Virginia which had tight crosses within 13 generations of Figure. The owners are honest, knowledgeable, and a deep respect for this little horse "Figure". So if you want a great Disney flick for the family, and inspire dreams in your little ones you can't go wrong with this movie.

It was a good story about how this breed of horses got started.

I liked the whole story and it gives much insight to our own history as well.

Great movie, but don't get rid of your VHS copies yet

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2012

There is only one little bit of disappoint that I could find with the Generations release of this DVD, and that is that this is not the full 91 minute release, but rather the 88 minute version that was released by Disney Educational Products for school classroom use. The basic story is there but with references to drinking/alcohol edited out. Unfortunately this eliminates the reason that the ride to the tavern (from where Figure pulled the log) was a race. Knowing what was in the original release makes this scene seem a little awkward, but if you haven't seen the original, you probably won't realize that something is missing. But an edited release is still better than no release. Let's hope that Disney doesn't do the same thing with Light in the Forest if it is ever released on DVD to the general public (as with Justin Morgan Had a Horse, an edited DVD is available from Disney Educational Products). So the bottom line is that this DVD is definitely worth owning if you don't have the DEP DVD, but still hang on to your VHS copy if you have one.

Good family movie

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2021

Sweet classic Disney tale. Great for the whole family. The underdog wins, of course, but the best part is that it is based on a true story of the foundling stallion of the Morgan breed of horse. It does not follow perfectly the Marguerite Henry book of the same name, and the costumes are rather dated, but all in all it’s a good story. The kids liked it and the footage of the horses is quite nice!

A GREAT movie for the entire family!

I love horse movies and this one is no exception. In fact, this is one of my favorite movies. I first saw this movie as a kid when Disney first released it. I have never forgotten it. I’ve only ever seen it on TV a few times and the last time was approximately 20 years ago, at which time I taped it on VHS. I no longer have a VHS machine, but I still have the tape. The quality/resolution of this DVD exceeds the version I have seen on TV in years past. I had never searched for this movie until recently. I had to buy it as soon as I saw it on Amazon. Even though I have read in a review that this DVD version is missing about three minutes from the original movie, I’m still very happy to have this great family movie about the Morgan Horse in my library of movies.

Great Disney Classic, But Cut, & WHY?

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2012

I LOVE this clasic Wonderful World of Disney Movie, but I agree with another reviewer-a few short, but noticed scenes are not on this new DVD release. I not only own an original Disney VHS copy, but a DVD copy a friend made for me off of the Disney Channel. The beginning of this DVD does not include the few minutes of history and current use of the Morgan breed of horse that was included in the original movie. I haven't played the whole movie yet, but I hope more isn't "cut" from it. I'm so glad that Disney is FINALLY releasing their old classics on DVD format- including other favorites of mine- "The Horse With the Flying Tail" & "The Waltz King" but I'm hoping that these DVDs won't be "cut" from the originals. Aside from that, the picture and sound quality are terrific. Keep those Wonderful World of Disney movies coming! They were, and still are top rate entertainment!

Great Movie! Dumb Disney!

Love this movie. Wonderful classic Disney film, from before they stuffed films with junk and gas jokes.

That being said, I agree with other reviewers: Disney's PC removal of the pub scene (when the pub was the centre of culture in America for 400+ years) is laughable. What, they're afraid little kids will start hanging out at bars because of a scene in a movie set 200 years ago? Why not worry that they'll take up the dangerous sport of horse-racing? ...Of course, then there'd be no movie...why no worries that kids will act like Bruce the Shark in Finding Nemo? Where'd the editing of that go?

Silly Disney. Kids aren't stupid. This movie is about the origin of the Morgan horse- warts and all. Great movie, a classic. My kids love it. And yet they don't run around threatening to sell horses for skins or fining each other a day's pay for watching a horse race...gee, I guess kids are smarter than Disney's PC executive board.

A very good movie. It is very different from the book. But still outlines the life of the first Morgan horse. A great family movie to watch again and again.
