"Black Beauty" is about the genuine bond between a girl and her horse, who share similar sad fate. Throughout the film, the charming visuals, especially ones filmed in South Africa in terms of cinematography, make every moment in the movie presented beautifully with soft color tones. The story plays out conventionally, and predictably, with fast-paced editing incorporated so as not to lose the viewers' (especially younger ones) attention. On the whole, the movie isn't doing anything revolutionary and like many other stories about the bond between a human and an animal it tugs at the heart strings while showing the evolution of that relationship. In the end, though the story may be derivative, don't forget it's done for Disney+, which is pretty much completely geared towards family viewing. For that purpose, this film offering something nice and enjoyable for the whole household. To be honest, I didn't expect to like "Black Beauty" as much as I did.
