| Sacramento BeeJim CarnesIt's a full, flat 50 minutes -- long enough to get the job done, and fast and short enough that the kids won't get antsy. And luckily for us adults, it's well-crafted and keeps us interested, too. |
| Common Sense MediaBeth PrattVisually stunning 50 minute IMAX thumbs-up. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA film truly geared to the 6-year-old level. If not younger. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneJeff StricklerFamily-friendly to the max, it's a bit corny but beautifully shot. |
| Boxoffice MagazineBridget ByrneLike the subject of the story, this film is swift and beautiful, knows where it's going and how to get there fast. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanStallion" has gorgeous cinematography with spectacular landscapes - plus a lazy script, forgettable performances and regrettably uninspired direction. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghYoung Tamimi is a terrific rider but a lackluster screen presence, and the film's brevity ensures that her trials have a perfunctory quality that keeps them from being truly compelling. |

| Dallas Morning NewsNancy ChurninA majestic, glossy black stallion rears up against a backdrop of burnished, brutally jagged desert cliffs. And he feels so close on the giant IMAX screen that for an instant, you just might think you could reach out and touch him. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookDefinitely a treat for the small fry, "The Young Black Stallion" races along swiftly on the IMAX screen. |
