Just happened to watch it in HighDef and was blown away by this early (1979) masterwork by Francis. So much is said by the incredible cine photography and it sweeps you away and suspends reality, especially during the island scenes where the young lad and the horse befriend each other and the bond is fixed. Mickey Rooney is perfect in his role and the horse should have won an Oscar. Great film.
