A team of top filmmakers (including the screenwriter and producer of the original �Black Stallion� feature) join forces for this exciting new installment of a family favorite that has captured the imaginations of millions of readers and moviegoers. Disney�s first dramatic adventure made expressly for the giant screen is a magnificent and thrilling tale that is a prequel to the 1979 motion picture �The Black Stallion.� Set in Northern Africa at the conclusion of World War II, this extraordinary film follows the adventures of a young girl named Neera, who becomes separated from her family and finds herself alone in the desert. When a wild stallion (whom Neera names Shetan) comes to her aid, the two form a special bond and the horse helps Neera to return home to her grandfather. As their friendship and trust grows, the girl devises a daring plan to race the wild Shetan (whose name means �the devil�) in the annual horse race and help restore her grandfather�s reputation. Staking everything on the race, Neera�s iron will and courage combined with Shetan�s untamed power and determination culminates in some of the most breathtaking and triumphant scenes ever visualized on the giant screen.
