This was one of the first movies I ever got to see in theaters, and for nothing else it's a nostalgia trip. I must have watched it a lot as a kid cause I remember it pretty clearly, without having seen it recently.
The script was a cheese factory, and the characters are pretty silly, but it was never meant for adults. I personally as an adult found the princess to be entertaining, but mostly I credit this movie, and the series from which it was made as being very positive for young girls. Rainbow Bright, while being a bit silly, was a strong female presence in network after network of male oriented cartoons intended for the same audience.
What ever sillyness and unrealness came from the movie are secondary to me. It's a nostalgia trip, and a good memory to boot. Show this movie to your young female children. The boys won't like it, but I think that most young girls will still see what I saw in it almost twenty years ago.

Audiences love having an underdog to cheer for, and Frank Hopkins and his little painted Hidalgo give them that. Pitted against some of the most legendary Thoroughbred horses the arabian nation has to offer, the cowboy and his little mixed blood horse look like a joke at best, at worst an insult to the prickly pride of both foreign breeders, and the Arab racers, and they do their best to assuage their bruised pride.
I thought this was a fabulous movie. It had all the trappings of a traditional cowboy movie, one man against rough odds, trying against hope to pull through in the end, but Viggo's character actually had some class and self esteem. He knew he was being laughed at, but shrugged it off. He didn't feel required to test his manhood against any challengers that may walk by, nor did he feel the need to get between every woman's legs either. He was happy to do what he came there to do, and that was to prove himself.
The cinematography was awesome, there was real development of Viggo's character, and a blood stirring race to watch. I was quite pleased with it, and would recommend the movie to anyone.
