Movie Review: The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit

This movie is an oldie, but a goodie. I don't recollect seeing The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit before and when I pointed out to the children that young Ronnie grows up to be the Dad in Sky High, they were amazed!

Dean Jones, a staple Disney actor back in the 60's and 70's, is the father who is trying to hold on to his job, fulfill the role of mother and father, and give his daughter the thing she most desires, a horse. This is a feel good movie with a relatively predictable ending, but the children and I enjoyed it. It was amazing how tense we got when Aspercel, the horse) was making his jumps in the competition. You find yourself wanting to leap with the horse over the high barriers. If your child loves horses they are bound to like this movie. And if you want a movie that you can let them watch without worrying where it is going, you will love this movie!
