So, Black Beauty (2021) is kind of a unique twist on the classic narrative. Directed by Avery Lundren, it dives into this animated realm where a noble stallion is set against the backdrop of an animal kingdom facing some serious threats from the likes of the Dark Horse Alta and this quirky pirate parrot wizard named Crosseye. The pacing feels a bit more relaxed than your typical family fare, allowing for some nice character development. The animation style has its charm, though it doesn't shy away from darker themes like friendship and bravery. The performances, especially of Black Beauty, lend an emotional depth. It’s not all sparkles and rainbows, which is refreshing for a family movie, you know?
