I agree with Pauline Kael who said "it may be the greatest children's movie ever made."

Ballard is my favorite director because I am a sucker for naturalistic storytelling and cinematography. Ballard's "Stallion" cinematographer, Caleb Deschanel, collaborated with Ballard on two other wonderful classics: "Never Cry Wolf" and "Fly Away Home". (Deschanel is also noted for his camera work on "The Passion of Christ").

Great commentary on this lovely film. Appreciate so much all of your reviews, I was taken with the idea that Mickey liked this film so much out of all the films that he made over many years. Thank you!!!!
