The first Disney film produced for the IMAX format, THE YOUNG BLACK STALLION is the prequel to the beloved family film THE BLACK STALLION. Like many films produced for the IMAX's huge screen, this film is filled with sweeping landscapes and stunning vistas that were shot on location in the African nation of Namibia. Separated from her family in Arabia during the upheavals of WWII, young Neera discovers a black horse in the wilderness and befriends it. With the horse's help, she finds her way back to her family, only to discover that they are on the brink of ruin. In order to save her family, Neera must ride the stallion in dangerous race against the horses and men of her father's enemies. THE YOUNG BLACK STALLION was directed by Simon Wincer, who also directed the family-friendly FREE WILLY. This presentation of the film also includes another short film about the adventures of the young horse.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Widescreen - 1.78Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Featurettes - 1.
