I’ve been dying to see this movie ever since I heard it was going to come out. War Horse, the story of a boy who is separated from his horse during World War I. I was so happy when Disney sent me a copy to review.
The story starts out with this young boy who sees something in the horse no one else could. His next owner also sees that same courage in him, and as he battles his way through the war the story follows him through it all. Literally dodging bullets, getting caught in wire, and saving the owner that he loves. I don’t want to give away too much of the story because I think it’s too great to miss. This classic story will be enjoyed by my daughters one day and I know they will love it. I thought I’d leave this movie feeling sad but instead I felt hopeful.
