this long of out of print movie is a good one ~ BASED on fact the Morgan horse is the first american horse breed and we follow the story as Justin Morgan a school teacher buys a tiny horse and discovers little is mighty` he can run, pull, trot and is smart too~ Don Murray as Justin Morgan, Lana Woods as his loyal lady who means far less than his horse most of the movie~ LOL We have a lot of fun watching the tiny horse named "Figure" run a race that is the highlight of the movie~ inspiring and good history too~ I give this a solid 9 out of 10 for classic disney fun and if you love horses and horse history with a disney flare give it a 15 out of 10.this is only available on VHS and is a bit on the pricey side but you will watch it over and over so well worth the price if you want a gold disney movie~ see also Classic Disney That Darn Cat and Sammy the Way out Seal~
