Summary: Miracle of the White Stallions
Review: I loved this movie as a kid and would love to see it again and be able to show it to my family. I remember it being an exciting story of courage, honor and compassion during WWII. It's a shame it is not currently available. How do we convince Disney to produce the video for sale again?

Summary: Miracle indeed!!!!
Review: I was lucky enough to acquire this movie from Readers Digest a couple of years back. The lippizaner horses are beautifull and for any horse lover that like to watch these horses do the"air above ground" it is very spectacular to watch. I think the movie get a superb description of how General Patton was indeed responsible for the safeguard of this noble breed.Please I would recommend to your organization to try to get it back on the market, so other people can see this beautifull movie. A great family movie and also great for people who love a bit of history.

Summary: Again, the "new" Disney shows no respect for their heritage
Review: No wonder the company is about to be taken over and broken up -- DVD was introduced to be an alternative to video, to offer more than video: better picture, more extras, and most importantly, more picture. Letterboxing. Widescreen. The complete image. So what does Disney do? They take some of their most beloved live-action films such as this one, and dump it on DVD in full-frame editions. It's a crime against these wonderful films, films that are a credit to the "old Disney" -- the wonderful, family-friendly Disney. And what, exactly is the point of pan-and-scan? Who isn't used to widescreen DVDs yet? Why should I waste my money replacing my old Disney videos with the same crappy full screen image as before? Disney just doesn't get it, and their sales show it.

Summary: Miracle of the White Stallions
Review: Several of the reviews on this site ask the Disney studio to release this film on DVD. Well, they have and this review refers to the DVD version. I have been familiar with this movie since I worked at the Disney studio in 16mm film distribution in the 1970s (about 7 years before the VHS blockbuster years began), and am familiar with the original negatives. In what I am finding to be typical of the Disney folks, this film is presented in a 'full frame' version, rather than a WIDESCREEN version. The film was shot for a 1:85x1 projected ratio (known as Academy Flat) which presents the picture in a slight retangular format. However, a full frame, 4x3 video transfer of such a negative isn't all that bad, although it would have distinguised it from the normal VHS format. Also, I am very surprised that the Disney people didn't make an effort to 'clean up' the original negative, which contains a great amount of negative dirt and scratches. The DVD does preserve the original look to the film (color and tint), but there has been so much technology invented to digitally reproduce an almost flawless image, that I am surprised it isn't been used. It is one of trhe major reasons that people have switched to DVD. Also, look for a mistake in the original negative. Just after the horses board the train, there are reddish, flash frames (possibly an overexposure to the camera original negative) which could easily have been removed digitally. A few "extras" would have been nice, such as behind-the-scenes material. This stinginess is becomming something notorious with recent Disney DVD releases. Walt Disney shot tons of background footage for every movie he made, and this is stored in the studio vaults. I've seen it in 16mm, although it was shot on 35mm.. You can ignore the lack of a WIDESCREEN image if the DVD contained these precious extras. Otherwise, it's just a transfer of the old VHS image. What's the point of that? As far as Robert Taylor's performance, far from being 'wooden' (as one reviewer wrote) I agree with another reviewer who said that he was protraying a real man (who was also alive at the time and a hero in Europe), and the script and direction decided to present a truthful, realistic portrrait of him. Don't forget that this movie, and many others (BALLERINA, HORSE WITHOUT A HEAD, ALMOST ANGELS) were shot in Europe after World War II. They were made chiefly for a European theatrical audience and were intened for an American TV audience on THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY. So, you'll find a different style of acting and presentation: a bit slow for us, but perfect for their intended audience.

Summary: Would like to purchase the video.
Review: The movie has been on The Disney Channel many times and the famous stallions appeared here in Port Charlotte, Florida - this past weekend, Dec. 16 & 17, 2000 -sponsored by a local radio station. After seeing them perform live and seeing them give a salute to Gen. George Patton for saving their lives, I wanted to rent or buy the movie as it signifies the foresight of this great man. His life ended not long after this great deed.
