    My Favorite Kids Classic

    I absolutely loved this film even though it is very hard to find any reference to it at all. I grew up watching this in Illinois and just loved the story about the little girl who tamed the white stallion. I'd recommend this movie to any child who loves animals.

    One of the greatest film's of my childhood

    Although I was a young kid when this movie came out back in 1958, it is a movie that I always cherished. The bond between the girl and Snowfire was very endearing. The song " Snowfire " is such a fantastic tune that even today , more thatn forty years later, I can still remember a good deal of the song and the melody. For years after the movie, I could hear my mother sing the song. When this movie would go on cable tv, my neighbor ( who owned the movie theater were I saw Snowfire ) would call me over to watch the movie. If there ever was a movie that I would like to see again, it would be Snowfire. I wish that it would be on video.

    Request for re-release of original "Snowfire" movie 1958

    I had no idea so many other folks were searching for this wonderful movie "Snowfire". I saw it as a child of 10 in the late 50's and the movie and song have haunted me on and off for all of these years. I find myself on occasion singing the title song in my head even though I cannot remember all of the words. Why has this movie crept into my mind and stayed?? Obviously, it hit a nerve in my young mind at the time and stayed with me all these years. No other movie since the re-release of Gone With The Wind in the early 60's has affected me so. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to see it again on any of the classic channels in this area. I so want to obtain a DVD or Video of this wonderful classic. Hopefully, someone, somewhere who has "connections" is watching this website and will help in the re-release of this movie. It would be a shame to lose this little piece of the past....Won't someone come to our rescue???????????

    God sent us Snowfire

    I had no idea that other people were searching for this wonderful film. My sister and I are now in our early fifties and have been searching for this movie since we saw it in 1958. We still long to see that horse and hear that song. My last question to a professional led me to this site. I was surprised that some of you had been able to see it on WGN, but here in the south I don't believe it has ever aired. We saw it in a theater in Florida when I was 6 and my sister was 5. I, too, would cherish a copy as a gift to my sister, so will keep searching. If anyone has updated information on whether or not this film is available, or how to get a company interested in releasing it on VHS or DVD, please, please contact me. I can't really say why this movie affected us so much, and why it still does after 46 years. This has probably been done already, but I am going to contact every person listed as cast and crew, distributors, and yes, even WGN Family Classics. If I have any progress, I will report it back here. God bless you all, and God bless Snowfire. Sincerely, Laura Hall

    I need to see this movie again.

    I have very few memories of my childhood due to alcoholism and being poor due to my father spending his very good salary on the disease. Now 46 I hang on to the few good memories I have very tightly. The movie Snowfire was an escape for me as a child. As a result of seeing the movie I had some good dreams and I had hope for brighter tomorrows. Years later I would love to see the movie that pulled me through that horrible time. If anyone knows where I could see "Snowfire" or purchase a copy please email me. A few years ago I contacted A & E and their advice, and after an exhausting search, was informed by them that the movie could have been lost to the silver screen. I wont believe that. Write if you know better please. And thank you.
