Title: This sequel is better...
Review: ...than the original "My Friend Flicka". As mentioned in an excellent review, Roddy's English accent is a distraction, and he played his role in Flicka as a rather wimpy kid. This second offering makes an obvious attempt to "man him up" and is successful on some accounts. Particularly in the scenes portraying his efforts to "break" Goblin. I much preferred the interaction between father and son in this second film as well.Now something else to enjoy in this film is the editing. It was a difficult film to edit especially with some rather violent clashes amongst the animals. By the standards of the day this was a very realistic film. The color quality was excellent even by today's films.This is better than "My Friend Flicka" but not as good as the remake "Flicka". It is family fare, but take note, there is some pretty heavy animal vs. animal violence, but mostly implied off camera
