jennifer b Wonderful movie—and a true story. I remember watching it as a child-and I became a dressage rider because of it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review r 9 Too pedestrian for my liking. The concept as a whole isn't all that interesting, at least in regards to making a film about it. Nothing about it really stands out really, Robert Taylor does a decent job as Podhajsky but I'm struggling to pick out any others. Also, for a film about horses there's hardly any major scenes with them. It's practically just 118 minutes filled with chatting which either goes against what Podhajsky desires or impacts Podhajsky and the Spanish Riding School. 'Miracle of the White Stallions' is just all rather dull, which is a surprise for a film set during World War II. I assume Disney were going for an artsy film about Austria and its Lipizzan horses - as they similarly attempted with 1962's 'Almost Angels', which focuses on Vienna's Boys' Choir. It mostly worked in that, though it doesn't for me in this unfortunately. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful horses and locations plus fine actors but it goes on too long. Robert Taylor's insistence on keeping that jet black hair as he aged led to an unfortunate resemblance to Count Dracula. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Is it fiction or reality? Based on a true story, this rather unlikely Disney adventure is as dark a film the studio EVER made, with German troops telling this story. See it as you will never see another one like it.

It is the story of the evacuation of the Lipizzaner horses from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna during World War II. In World War II Austria, Col. Alois Podhajsky sets out to protect his beloved Lipizzaner stallions - purebred snow-white horses with centuries of tradition - from "liberation" by the Soviet Army, and ensure that they are surrendered into safekeeping. It is known that U.S. General Patton is something of a horse fancier and might help, if he sees the stallions perform.

This was so far the most boring Disney movie I have seen, the storyline was boring and it was way too long, I kept waiting for it to end. No need to see again.
