My take on it was a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and
Indiana Jones, starring Mr Ed. Why why why do movie makers have to
depict horses as so cartoonishly intelligent? But I have to
admit--despite shaking my head and rolling my eyes at about every other
scene--I enjoyed myself. I can't really explain why I liked it, and all I
seemed to do was pick it apart when we were walking out, but this IS Disney
after all...I just wonder if Vigo was wearing Homies in the last race scene
(Hey, what a great idea for an endorsement...plus wouldn't we all like to see
him in the contest!). It was also fun to pick out the truly horsey
people in the audience. The women next to me almost yelled "hey he's
still got his shoes on!" at the last scene.
