rancher's son who takes a shine to a colt named Flicka and chooses to train her. The boy's father (Preston Foster) isn't happy about the idea: the horse is an offspring of a stormy mare who may not be right in the head. For a while, Flicka seems determined to prove the rancher's point, fiercely resisting young McDowell's efforts at domestication. But persistence and love win the day, and Flicka grows up to be a magnificent animal and friend. The film was shot by director Harold Schuster and cinematographer Dewey Wrigley as if for the ages, marrying such perfect elements as a Technicolor sweep of the beautiful Rocky Mountains setting with a wonderful story, plus McDowell's charismatic earnestness. Based on the Mary O'Hara novel, this film stands up as a perennially worthy adventure tale for kids ages 5 and up.--Tom KeoghThunderhead, Son of Flicka: A sequel to the wildly popular, heart-warming childrens classicMy Friend Flicka,Thunderheadstars the original winsome young Roddy McDowall as the horse-lover against all odds. The sequel is every bit as touching, involving, and misty-eye-inducing as the original film. Thunderhead, a headstrong albino colt, is the son of the mare Flicka, and McDowalls Ken McLaughlin sets out to find out what this wild thing can do. Thunderhead, when given his head, can fly as though winged, so Ken decides to enter Thunderhead in some horse races. But it becomes clear that Thunderhead can fly only if hes free. A tragedy threatens the sweet world that Thunderhead and Ken have created, and only that magical love between child and animal can overcome the stumbling blocks.Thunderhead, Son of Flickais a worthy successor to the original film, and a touching family film for horse lovers of all ages.--A.T. HurleyGreen Grass of Wyoming: The final installment in Mary OHaras landmark horse saga,The Green Grass of Wyomingis a worthy valentine to the love of horses and the wild America they represented in the mid-20th century. Robert Arthur replaces Roddy McDowall as Ken McLaughlin, the boy horse whisperer who connects on a subliminal level with four-legged critters. The equine star is Crown Jewel, a harness-racing trotter for whom Ken has hopes of championships and financial windfalls. But Jewel has something else on her mind--love, for the stallion Thunderhead (star of OHaras second installment). Arthur is a talented, charming successor to McDowall, and the breathtaking scenery and cinematography will charm even those film fans who arent big horse lovers. (Charles G. Clark was nominated for an Oscar for best cinematography.) Burl Ives makes the most of his sidekick role as Gus, and Lloyd Nolan is sympathetic as Kens financially struggling dad.--A.T. Hurley

Advantages: FANTASTIC, best films ive seen in ages Disadvantages: DVD's scratch ver easily :(
I loved the "My Friend Flicka" book and resently purchased the second and third books of the series; "Thunderhead - Son Of Flicka" and "The Green Grass Of Wyoming." I must say I was hooked
Then about a week ago, I was in HMV and I found "The Flicka Collection Box Set." To begin with I thought that maybe the films would spoil the magic of the books but after careful consideration I finally desided to buy the box set.
Nervously that night I placed the first of the DVD's in the DVD player. I then sat down and watched. WOW! The film was even better than the books. I was mildly disapointed that in places they had left parts out and added bits in. However i was still thrilled that I could now watch my favourite books via DVD. I then over the next few nights I proceded to watch the remaining two. They were fantastic. I definately ...
Advantages: Utterly convincing, very moving, superb acting. Disadvantages: Subtitles may annoy some people.

DVD Description
Classic family fare, this charming horse-and-boy story is set against a breathtakingly beautiful Utah background, and is based on the novel by Mary O'Hara. A sequel to MY FRIEND FLICKA (1943), Roddy McDowell (PLANET OF THE APES, OVERBOARD) resurrects his role in the original as Ken McLaughlin, the son of a horse rancher (Preston Foster, LOVE BEFORE BREAKFAST) who undertakes to break in Thunderhead, son of the previous film's star horse. The all-white colt shows signs of being a racing star, but is injured on his first time out; Ken still loves his horse, but when Thunderhead's albino father goes wild, trouble begins to stir. The sire runs rampant across the countryside, stealing mares from all the farms, but when Ken finds himself menaced by the dangerous wild horse, Thunderhead saves him and engages in a battle with his renegade parent. When Ken realizes that Thunderhead would be happier in the wild, however, he must decide whether or not he can bear to turn him loose.
