Argghh
Partially similar to the fabulous book, Misty of Chincoteague is about a horse known as " the Phantom " being brought into the hands of two kids, Maureen and Paul, after working hard for four months. Did they find out just when Paul went on the Pony Penning that there was not just The Phantom, but Phantom had a foal as well: Misty. they bought both of them after a small bit of trouble.

Even if the movie is old, i think it could've been made much better. the Phantom didn't even have her unique map of the united states on her withers, nor did misty. when they were swimming them across the lake, Phantom made no attempts of escaping .. and misty didn't look like she was drowning at all .. she was just swimming. the pied piper didn't come for the phantom, Paul and maureen just released her ..

the Clarence didn't even act like the grandpa in the book, he was more strict and less loving. Yet, there wasn't even a small storm where Phantom and misty were put in the trailor .. It could've had a lot more to do with the book ..

I suggest reading the book first, or just even reading the book .. too bad i bought the DVD instead of renting it first.

Very good family entertainment
I received this dvd as a gift, and found it to be very nice entertainment, but probably even more so for children. I found it to be a bit predictable, but again, it is probably more geared for children. All in all, it is the wonderful tale of two children working with ponies and learning some valuable lessons. There is a little humor sprinkled throughout to make it even more fun. Perfect for the horse-loving youngster!

The film is ok but misses some points from the book
The film is ok, but like many childern film adaptations, misses some key points in the book and just doesn't give me the same feel as the book does. For example, the Phantom actually does run in the official race before Paul and Maureen release her back to the wild. So, I was a bit dissapointed in the film. As to the horses not having the EXACT same markings as the ones in the book as another reviewer complained... That I can overlook as the horses they used were close enough and to match horse markings, especially pinto colors that's close to impossible.
