Information for Parents
Common Sense Media says OK for kids 6+ A harrowing and Beauty-ful version of the book.
What Parents Need to Know Parents need to know that this handsome adaptation of Anna Sewell's 1877 children's classic is emotionally harrowing, but ultimately heartwarming. Even the most stoic of kids will be moved. Because of the film's intense and sad scenes, parents are advised to use caution when allowing younger and more sensitive children to watch this film. Older children will love it for its action and a noble creature with which to empathize. Some teens may be a bit old for a horse story, but the movie is engaging, especially for teens interested in animal rights.
  • Families can talk about animal rights and how each family member treats the animals they come into contact with. What is the message of this movie? Does it inspire you to think about animals differently?
The good stuff
  • message true3 Positive messages: Black Beauty is a magnificent horse at the mercy of human owners who alternately abuse and adore him. This may spark important thinking -- and discussion -- about human rights.
What to watch for
  • violence false3 Violence and scariness: the mistreatment that Beauty and Ginger suffer proves most frightening. Ginger's death (we don't see her die, she is just carted away) will probably inspire tears.
  • sex false0 Sexy stuff: Not an issue
  • language false0 Language: Not an issue
  • consumerism false0 Consumerism: Not an issue
  • drugsalcoholtobacco false0 Drinking, drugs and smoking: Not an issue
