5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful for everyone, Disney at its best., December 16, 2000
This is a family movie in the most wonderful sense. So often, people use that phrase to mean "no swearing" or "no nudity", but so many "family" movies are just watered down nothingness, no story, no interesting characters... This movie has spirit and heart. Lucas Black is an amazing young man, a wonderful young actor who carries the entire movie all by himself. After his grandmother's death, Conner (Black) decides to embark on a journey from Georgia to New York to meet his father's ship as it returns to port. He confronts danger and many of life's challenges along the way. What I especially like about the movie is that it doesn't tiptoe around some hard issues. Conner deals with his grandmother's death all alone...he confronts an abusive adult with heart and bravery. I think this movie is wonderful because it shows a nice, good, brave kid who isn't unreal the way so many kids are in movies and on TV today. He's polite and smart and respectful and still super cool. Way to go Disney and Lucas Black.

I was the riding double for FLASH! It's a great movie!, October 27, 2003
This review is from: Flash [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I was the riding double for Lucas Black in this movie, and even though I'm partial to it, I believe it's a great flick. I now have a 2 year old daughter and I would totally let her watch this movie. We own and operate Rivermont Farm in Georgia, and I've always been really picky about how well a horse movie is done. I really thought Simon Wincer did a great job with Flash as he ALWAYS does with his movies. Simon directed movies such as Operation Dumbo Drop, Phar Lap, The Man From Snowy River, Free Willy, Blue Grass, and some other wonderful animal movies. Everyone I have ever met who has seen Flash loves this movie, and they are always so excited to hear I did the riding. It was a wonderful experience. Please put "FLASH" under the Christmas tree for your children this year. You won't be sorry! By the way, for the person who said a 2 year old couldn't do what this horse did in this movie...guess how old he was! He was 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Family film at its best................., August 18, 2003
This review is from: Flash [VHS] (VHS Tape)
A wonderful film that the entire family will enjoy. Fourteen year old Connor would do anything to have the 2 year old colt named Flash. Once he has Flash, circumstances at home change and he must sell his beloved horse to honor his Grandmother. Once Flash is with his new owners a chain of events occurs which send Connor and Flash on a journey across seven states. Connor is a young man to respect for his courage, sense of right and wit. He is a young man to be respected. This film is reminiscent of family films from the 1950's. A present day film filled with old time values. A movie for all. If you are horse lover and love films about horses you don't want to miss this one.
