- Synopsis:
Two cartoon classic tales.
Black Beauty (1978)One of the most beloved children's stories of all time. All of the warmth and pathos of Anna Sewell's classic novel is captured in this touching animated feature. It's the story of a sweet-tempered horse, Black Beauty, born and raised in the lush English countryside. Taught by his mother to always be a friend to man, Beauty lives happily with his master, Squire Gordon. The bond between man and horse deepens through the kindness of the Squire's stableman, John Manley. Beauty shares the stable with Ginger, an ill tempered and bitter mare who, because of her own unhappy experiences with different masters, warns him that he too will know harshness and a hard life when he is sold again. As the story unfolds, Ginger's words ring true. The beautiful Beauty becomes the property of several owners who use him as a job horse, pulling cabs and hauling heavy loads through city streets. But Beauty endures through his unyielding courage and faith. This is a story children will cherish for years to come.
