We were soooo glad to see this movie on opening day. Diane Lane is talented and classy as Penny and brings such heart to the movie. The racing footage draws you in to experience the feeling that rider and jockey share. Absolutely the best family movie I have seen in years...probably since "The Rookie". Both are Disney films...imagine that!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Having watched the entire series at my daughters' urging, I was eagerly anticipating the movie. My only disappointment was that the movie needed to be longer so that they could expand on the characters and events for the viewing audience to understand better. I did not compare the movie version to the animated series as my daughter did, but judged it on its own merits. I was involved in the movie so much that the time flew by and I could not believe it ws over. The special effects were amazing; incorporating the bending was handled beautifully and Dev shone above the rest in his role as Zuko. It was clever how M. Night put the full season together. It did leave me wanting more.
