Summary: It really is a miracle!
Review: "Miracle of the White Stallions" has been a family favorite of ours for many years, so much so that when I moved to Idaho to attend graduate school, I had to swipe our old VHS copy from my parents just so I could have the movie with me. We have been trying to find the movie for sale for a long time and are thrilled that it is finally being released on DVD. Now, we all have a copy so we don't have to fight over it anymore!
Why do we love this movie so much that we would fight over it? Horses, horses, horses! Not only are the dressage sequences spectacular to watch, but the story behind their near loss and preservation is wonderful. In a time that is celebrated for destruction, there were a brave few that were willing to put their lives on the line for what many would call "a few dumb animals". (Not me, of course!) In my profession, I deal with extinction a great deal. If it hadn't been for those people portrayed in the movie (which was based on a true story), I may have had one more extinction to add to my list.

Review: "Don't give a hoot about Joe Public" seems to be the mantra these days at Disney when it excitedly releases classics on DVD.Why don't they take a little more care and issue these films in widescreen format in the way they were supposed to be seen. Its just another way the public has been hoodwinked by a greedy mouse. I wouldn't purchase any of these "new" re-releases until they put product of an acceptable - as opposed to half-assed - quality. Shame on you!

Summary: Horsemanship
Review: A reviewer commented that Robert Taylor delivered one of his most "wooden" performances in his roll as Col. Podhasky in the film "The Miracle of the White Stallions"; do please realize that his performance was based on an officer of formal training in an elite corp, and the fact that he "unbent" as much as he did in the scenes of his personal life is a compliment to the nicety of R. Taylor's interpretation. Some might enjoy reading the Col.s book on horsemanship; it will give an impression of his training style. Then, contrast his methods with, e.g., "The Horse Whisperer" -- all interesting information. All our people, "mostly Irish", bred horses and followed the gentling methods.

Summary: Muddled plot, but the dressage is amazing
Review: During World War II, the famed performing Lipizzaner Stallions of the Spanish Riding School (actually located in Vienna, Austria) were in direct danger of being destroyed. Colonel Alios Podhajsky (Robert Taylor), the head of the school, does some fancy thinking and persuades a German general (Curt Jurgens) to define the horses as bona fide "art treasures" which would allow the animals to be moved out of harm's way. (The real Colonel choreographed all the graceful, spellbinding airs-above-the-ground performance scenes seen in the film.) Based upon the memoir The Dancing White Horses of Vienna by Colonel Alios Podhajsky.

Review: I have been trying to track down this movie for a long time. It was a movie from my childhood and I loved it dearly, I simply could not remember its title. I remember the heroics of the rescuers and the beauty of the Lipizanner horses. This is a movie that would still entrance all viewers, but especially those with a passion and love of horses. I wish Disney would release this on video for the children of today and tomorrow. This movie reminds us that war is not just about people but treasures and animals as well.

Summary: Miracle of the White Stallions
Review: I have tried to find this movie to show my children and I am in shock that I can not find this great Disney Movie. We went to see these great horses in person and I would like to see the movie as well. As a child I remember it like it was yesterday. Disney needs to bring this movie back for our kids to see. What a great classic.
