Editorial Reviews

This is the story of a summer and a twelve-year old girl's discovery that if it were strong enough, her love for a pony could make the impossible happen.

Unhappy little Janie Neely is a horse-lover, working at ritzy Longvue Farms. She falls in love with Danny, a handsome gray pony owned by the spoiled daughter of the wealthy stable owner. When injured, Danny is discarded by the bratty girl. A mysterious benefactor enables surprised Janie to become the horse’s new owner. Through Janie’s hard work, Danny is nursed back to health and Janie learns that if you hold fast to your dreams they can be made to happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great movie for horse lovers of all ages, February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Danny [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After searching high and low I've finally found a movie that shows all aspects of horse showing, even if it is slightly outdated. Danny is a movie about a girl who dreams of a pony of her own, and after hard work, a little bit of luck, and lots of love, her dream becomes reality. The partnership that develops between girl and pony is one that riders of all ages can relate to. Definately one for the collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love over Money, November 14, 2006

Gracie Girl "Gracie" (Lima, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Danny (DVD)

This was one of my favorite movies as a child, I couldn't resist reviewing it. Danny is bought for spoiled little rich girl Andrea Cummings, her father buys her the pony because Danny is supposed to have won a lot of blue ribbons. Janie Neely lives near by the stable and volunteers there, because she loves horses. Janie loves Danny, but Andrea treats him cruelly, resulting in a poor performance in a local horse show. Back at home, Danny then performs well for Janie, but becomes lame shortly after, and Andrea's father declares him a lemon and decides to sell him.

A heartbroken Janie tries to keep this from happening. She is unable to change the mind of Andrea's father, but a `mysterious benefactor' buys the pony for Janie, who in return must work at the stable to pay for Danny's upkeep and to repay the debt. Andrea's father buys her a new horse, a fancy thoroughbred named Midnight Star, and Janie is to care for it as well, while spending countless hours tending to Danny's lameness. When he recovers, he is able to be ridden again, and Janie and Andrea now become competitors.

Danny is still labeled a lemon by Andrea and her father, but Janie knows otherwise. Midnight Star is exactly what Andrea's father wanted, an expensive show horse, and Andrea is expected to bring home nothing less than blue ribbons. When Danny and Midnight Star compete against one another in a horse show, Janie is able to prove that love and kindness go much farther than money and unfair expectations ever could. Though the very end of the movie may disappoint some, I loved it as a child and continue to love it to this day, as it was very clear to see that real, pure love is never based on performance.

I was thrilled to see that this movie is now on DVD, I can't wait to share it with my children one day. It has a wonderful lesson in it, the title song at the end says it best: "You have nothing to fear, when you give all your love, and all your love comes back to you."

5.0 out of 5 stars A great girl and her horse movie!!, February 14, 2006

This review is from: Danny (DVD)

Rebecca Page plays a poor girl who comes across an injured horse. She names the animal Danny, nurses it back to health, and grows to love it. The problem is that the horse had previously been sold off to a wealthy family, whose spoiled daughter , having previously rejected Danny because of his injuries, now wants the horse back. Who will emerge triumphant?

This is one of those happy feel good movies thats great for the whole family to enjoy. This is a great G rated movie you will enjoy!

Its also great that this movie has finally made it to DVD!

There are a few extras on the DVD, one being the trailer and the other is a "Making of" feature which is just music being played as production stills are shown of the director and some of the stars of the movie. These are color photos.Having these extras is a nice little touch to a great little movie!!
