1993 Directed by John Tatoulis
A mother tells her daughter a fable about the prince of the brumbies, brumby being a term for the feral horses of Australia, who must find its place among its kind, while one man makes it his mission to capture it and tame it. Australian adaptation of Elyne Mitchell's "The silver Brumby".

A film with good intentions, trying to bring some magic to the world, but lacked a little bit of cohesion.
this was a good sick day movie. visually appealing and not much else. I love the books so was a nice throwback. did not expect the mum from princess diaries to be there
Anthropomorphic horse politics within a horse monarchy, with the greatest collective foe of the wild horses being The Man (a horse catcher/trainer played by Russell Crowe). The hero is Thowra, the great white stallion with a silver mane. Beautifully shot in the snowy highlands of Australia, this is reason alone to see The Silver Brumby. Truly!
This is one of those films where the editing of the animals doing stuff plus the use of voice-over narrative tells the story. In this case the narrator is a novelist who is in the process of writing the story about a horse she'd seen near her property and she fires up the imaginative awe and longing of her horse-mad daughter. The meta aspects…
A gentle but meandering storybook. It's not particularly entertaining, but it's certainly harmless.
sorry to horse lovers out there, no review only thirst blurb:
i watched a horse film just to see 90s Russell Crowe ok i admit i am down bad, down terrible, astronomically d o w n. like who knew young him was hot as hell??? some of the other reviews are so wholesome/actually about horses & then i’m here thirsting sjdksjsjsjsj anyways, sorry to my fellow city girls, we are down 1000 pts this summer cuz of me & my discovery of young Russ
When russell brought out the whip i straight up moaned in the dagwoods lobby (watched this movie on my phone during my lunch breaks lol)
One of the most visually poetic films of bush legend that I have seen to date. Whereas films like The Man From Snowy River, Phar Lap and The Lighthorsemen have ultimately failed with critics to underline horse-born legends at home and abroad, and the various iterations of Ned Kelly and all manner of outlaws have been sludgy westerns more often than not, The Silver Brumby was a genuinely masterful surprise to me.
I've been vaguely aware of this title for many years, but in a childhood crowded with monikers like The Black Stallion and The Silver Sword/The Silver Surfer, as well as an animated serial of this adapted in the years following, that name recognition can't help but muddy into…
een jaar lang gratis hoofon #1:
ja dit is een paardenfilm maar naast thowra en golden was de echte ster toch wel die kangoeroe in dat tasje
