    What a cracking little film! I was not expecting this to be so great. <em>'The Littlest Horse Thieves'</em> is a highly touching and well paced film from 1976, it's one of Disney's best live-action offerings up until this point in time. The studio have done a crap tonne of animal and children stories in these early decades, some of them work nicely whilst some fall flat. This, however, is excellent. It sucked me right in, I was fully invested in the story of Dave, Alice, Tommy and 'their' ponies - especially the latter's spearhead, Flash. The ending hit me, I can't lie. Andrew Harrison...
