Arlene, between this and TinTin it will be a fun holiday movie season! The scene where the horse turns around and looks at the camera looks exactly like Keil Bay. (who when I suggested tonight that he had snuck off and starred in a movie and had the cash hidden in his stall turned around and gave me the evil eye, LOL).
I read a synopsis of this story and can almost absolutely assure you that I will not be seeing any part of it. Mostly because I don't want my hair to get stuck in the goo on the theater floor where I would be, weeping and sobbing my brains out...while my kids drag me out to the parking lot. I don't do animal death/suffering in movies...walked out of Of Mice and Men (the puppy), and into Last of The Mohicans (human slaughter). My husband couldn't believe it. :)
Considering that I can't make it through Black Beauty, Bambi, or even The Lion King, I may be being optimistic about my ability to see this one - but there is something about the thought of the movie-going public seeing a film about what horses brought to WWI that makes me think this might have an overall positive message that I want to experience. OTOH, I know I will cry and it might be too much. I am well-practiced at simply covering my eyes and ears and blocking out things I can't manage while my family laughs at me for being so sensitive. "It's just a MOVIE, MOM..."

We'll definitely be going to see this next month when it comes out. I'll have to bring a box of tissues with me also.
