I'm 72, and I used to LIVE for The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday. Appalossa is my favorite horse breed. Thank you for showing this. I was riding along with her the whole way.
I was a child of the 1960s-1970s and the Wonderful 👏 ✨ World 🌎 of Disney was a part of my childhood. I remember it all even now first on on Sunday on NBC at 7:00pm there was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and then at 8:00pm there was the Wonderful 👏 World 🌎 of Disney and at 9:00pm there was Lassie. Those were the days!
Lassie was on at 9??? That seems awfully late. I remember Wonderful World of Disney at 8 and . . . Mystery Theater? There were 3 different ones. I just remember that when that show was coming on it meant bed time and the end of the freedom of the weekend and impending Monday and school. Blech. I remember being all wound up a lot of the time after watching Disney. I'd want to pretend to be Chandar, the Black Leopard of Ceylon, or whatever. Wonderful World of Disney was great. If I saw this one, I don't remember it, but was glad it showed up in my feed. Brings back good feelings from childhood.
That's awesome! My almost 30 year-old blanket POA passed away in 2017 after a fall on the ice. 😢😭😭 She lived 10 years longer than the vet said she would after skin cancer diagnosis & anti-cancer diet. Enjoy your 4-legged friend!
❗ I'm 71 years old and I saw this for the first time when I was a little boy, my eyes were about as big as a silver dollar watching Mary black feather and holy smoke and her little dog, I had tears in my eyes I was a little boy again❗
I saw this movie for the first time when i was 6 or7. It was a drive in and they had set up a corral beside it. We all got the opportunity to pet the appy that they had brought in for the show. The horse looked just like the one in the movie. It started my love for appys. My best horse was a leopard appaloosa.
That was pretty neat! My favorite was my leopard POA. My love grew out of reading multiple horse books in grade school, including Misty of Chincotegue & the Black Stallion series.
@@tracyjones5156- That's great, happy childhood memories are so nice! I think I can even remember the first book that got me started. Wonder Book of Horses or was it Wonderful World of Horses?! I still have it as my mom stowed it away in her cedar chest, which to me was amazing because she got rid of alot of my stuff when I left home. She also spared the plastic horses though! Did you have also?
@@tracyjones5156- Sorry you lost your books. I have found some on occasion at yard sales that were ones I had read but not owned. That's great your grandaughters read them. When I was taking my son to the library it was good to see that many of those horse books were still in there.
This is just what I needed to cheer me up. How I remember this movie and my childhood….during my childhood I watched every Disney show that aired every week with my parents, and many films I watched many times over, and again especially when they became available on cassettes and then on DVDs, letting my children watch them as well. I was always into horses and this movie with Holy Smoke and Mary Blackfeather was one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing this…👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I rode many horses during my lifetime on horseback. My first introduction to horses, at age 3 or 4, was a white horse named Dolly…I was too scared to actually try riding her, but she would have an influence on me to keep trying on riding horses. My next horse I would actually ride was much taller, I was more courageous and determined to ride it this time, I was 5 or 6 then, and it was a black and white Paint/Pinto named Sparky. He was awesome, and I loved riding him, very gentle. The first Appaloosa I rode was a 4 year old stud colt named Happy, very intelligent, but also a bit unpredictable because he was a young stallion. He actually taught me more about horse behavior and riding abilities between horse and rider, in other words, he was testing me. He was one smart, strong horse. During my teenage years, I rode many horses, and one was a Thoroughbred, named Tilly, a retired racehorse..age 22, a half Arab/Morgan cross, my favorite..age 7 and well trained, another was Dandy, a Leopard Appaloosa, blind in one eye, but okay to ride, age ?…he was used in rodeo and other horse show events. I think that barbed wire had a big hand in destroying one of his eyes, because it almost took my knee cap off while riding too close to it. I still have the scar on my knee from it. I do wish I was able to ride horses again, but health issues forces me to stay grounded…lol.🤣 They called it the Golden Years, but that’s not so, I have a better name for it….I call it…A RUSTY BUCKET WITH LEAKY HOLES….there’s NO golden about it at all….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow. Animal rights has come soooooo far. Amazing that they were able to catch the multi species scenes like they did. While I appreciate and understand the era, I can’t stop thinking about the amount of stress put on the animals involved. That poor foal running for his life (in his mind undoubtedly). How in the heck did they stop a real mountain lion from chasing a real colt???? I’m sure “cut” doesn’t result in much.
Disney cinematography was amazing. Multiple shows with multiple animals, interspecies interaction, maybe there were a lot of mishaps. Would love to hear from the cameramen if any are still around. I bet they have some stories.
I would suspect the mountain lion was declawed. It may have had ground/filed down canines as well to make it less able to cause puncture wounds and hang on if it did bite. The canines could possibly have been extracted as well. A lot of non-domesticated species like bears and big cats used in entertainment had those things done.
Ahhhhhh…….before Disney turned into the freak show that it is today. . The animated classics, movies and the Sunday night series are such wonderful memories. Thank you .
What freak show? Women and minorities are not freaks and the Disney people are helping the young people get over the terrible prejudices so many have had. "Judge Not, Lest Ye Be Judged," sayeth the Lord. Mary Black Feather is a credit to her people and a fine horsewoman. She represents America in it's diversity which makes us great! I was graduating from college when this movie came out in 1967 and it was great how it showed our wonderful Native American people and the horse they developed in a great light. One error in the beginning was to say that Chief Joseph outran the cavalry. Because he was bringing women, children and the elderly he did not quite make it to the Canadian border and safety for his tribe. The appaloosa horses were slaughtered by the US Cavalry but remnants of the herds survived to keep the breed alive. The Nez Perce were placed on reservations.
Agreed, I was a HUGE Disney fan. We lived an hour from the magic Kingdom in Orlando and had season passes for years. Not since they turned woke. It's a damn shame.
@@stacytaddiken7634 The truth is sacred . . . even when it is that Chief Joseph did not make it to Canada and the US Cavalry slaughtered his appaloosa horses and placed his people on a reservation. If that is being woke, so be it. Facts are Facts and must be faced.
As a horse loving kid of the 60s and 70s with movies such as Run Appaloosa Run, The Horse With the Flying Tail, Justin Morgan Had A Horse and let’s not forget all the great tv movie horses, Flicka, Fury and many more. It was almost like every Sunday you could live your dreams in front of the tv. Now a days movies and tv shows area all about shooting, killing, sex and violence. No wonder the world is so screwed up.
Not even Netflix or Disney+ has this classic movie.. I have been looking for this movie for a long time to find it but it was impossible.. .thanks for the upload.!!! Childhood memories..
I once owned a beautiful colt , Danny, just like Holy Smoke. Each time I see this film I always think of him. Miss him. Thank you for the fond memories.
My fellow was a snowcap chestnut Appaloosa. Have had an ache that does not lessen for years, even his last foal couldn't help. She grew to be a beautiful mare, and I loved seeing some of his mannerisms in her. Miss him still.
I'm 70 .at 13 yrs old,. I rode this horse and it promptly threw me off and as I flew thru the air the horse TURNED and kicked me in the butt cheek and it hurt like heck. !! YES.....THIS MOVIE BRINGS BACK MEMORIES. !!!!!!😆😆👍💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🎄,
I was 8 years old when this came out. I was a horse crazy kid too poor to ever own a horse. My cousin took me one summer evening to her friend’s house and her friend gave me a moonlight ride on her gray mare who had foaled a few months earlier. We then went to the barn afterwards to admire the foal. I was so frustrated and envious that I just stood back away trying to hide my feelings in the shadow of the barn light. I never let on how I felt. Why not me? Why did I have to be poor?!!! Well in 1993 it was the last day of my field service rotation at New Bolton Center and the very last appointment was at a farm where I had to “vet” a newborn foal. When I was finished I stepped out of the stall and all of a sudden I was hit with a “deja vu” moment. I realized that I might be standing on the same exact spot I stood as an 8 year old. Thank you dear God for the reminder. Now, I can watch this movie and remember that young girl and appreciate the journey.
That was a touching story. I've owned four appaloosas. My sister's horse was named Holy Smoke because of this film ...but he was an Arab. I actually went to the Omak Stampede Suicide race in 1982. Very exciting. I filmed it on a super 8 camera. I first saw this in a theater, I think it was 1966. Saw it twice more, and always loved it. I lived for Sunday night and the Wonderful World of Color. Walt was my hero. I once had a Texan try to tell me that appaloosas originated in Texas. Imagine saying that to an Oregonian. The corner of Oregon/Idaho/ Washington is Nez Pierce country. Texans try to take credit for everything.
I grew up watching all the old Disney classics and every horse movie I could get my hands on. Being from Oklahoma and having native relatives, I would have been absolutely obsessed with this movie. I don't know how I never saw it!
I am also 72and my uncle had the first color tv and lived across the street from us, I would go to their house and watch the Wonderful World of Disney with my cousin. In my teens I bought my first horse. In my twenty's I bought and was the proud owner of a Registered Appaloosa horse who was a dream to own.
The first time I saw this movie was when I went to Ford Day Camp in Dearborn, MI while my dad went to work. I never forgot what the Appaloosa looked like and always remembered this movie. Run Appaloosa Run!
So glad l came across this again! I remember seeing this somewhere in the '60s and was about halfway up to a grasshopper's knee! Loved it then and still do!
THE DOG SAVED THEY DAY!!!!! AND WAS IMPORTANT INT HE BEGINNING WHEN HE SAVED THE COLT FROM THE MOUNTAIN LION, AND SAVED THE HORSE FROM THE BULL AND GETTING THE BATON FOR MARY!
I was born in 1969 but grwoing up in the early 1970's, every sunday night we'd sit and watch The wonderful world of disneyu and watch movies like this with a big bowl of popcorn for all us kids tro share. We were glued. And I have raised my own son and daughter on the Wonderful world of DFiosney and Disney World.
That scene of them jumping the old car has stuck in my mind for over 40 years. I have always wondered what the name of the movie was. I remembered the horse was Holy Smoke, but not the name of the movie. Thank you for solving the puzzle.
14:36 I recall this scene so vividly from seeing this movie in a Johannesburg cinema as a young boy. So happy to watch this again at 65 yrs old. I was so passionate for horses that this movie was a treat.
@@melhawk6284 Oh yes once I left school and started working, ( money) first two Thoroughbred ex racehorses, then a Welsh cob, then a Anglo Arab and lastly an Irish Thoroughbred. All budget buys, failed racehorses are inexpensive to buy and make good hacks.
@@johnsmith-ht3sy here in the US, those Off Track Thouroughbreds are, I SWEAR the best kept secret for barrel racing, if they're not too tall! And I would LOVE a Welsh Cob. The taller ones, and I DO enjoy some flashy feathering!
@@melhawk6284 Welsh Cob was a character, he was more forward moving than a Thoroughbred, full of energy. I got him cheap, because his vices were, he hated girl riders, they could not control him, he never messed with me, and his other vice was when he was being patted by little kids, he would grab them by the shoulder and lift them up. He did eventually mature and grew out of those colt teenage traits.
What a wonderful film,i can’t believe I’ve never seen this before as I’ve always had a deep love for the Appaloosa but I’m so glad I’ve seen it,although a little hard to watch in places it was a very beautiful film 🐴❤️
Oh my gosh, the race scenes! Incredible riding….how she hung on to that horse. Times sure have changed…somethings for the better, somethings for the worse. Seems like people were tougher back then and more trusting about stuff. Can’t recall ever seeing this movie even though we were huddled around that tv set as a family every Sunday evening! Fun memories.
Every Sunday 6.30pm our routine was bath, dinner and ready to watch it's a wonderful world of Disney then bed 7.30pm. I'm 56 years old and remember with fond memories of our family enjoying the show and hating if we had to wait a whole week for the outcome ❤❤❤
Thank you for bringing back such a beautiful memory from my childhood. throughout my lifetime and it's been a long lifetime, that's song "Run Appaloosa run" Runs through my mind every now and again. I loved it then and so loved it now. I even had the awesome pleasure to have owned one these most treasured spotted horses. Must admit chose however on my most favorite breed of horse and that is the Morgan horse, from another Disney movie and that was "Justin Morgan had horse" I had several of them too. Disney had quite a few horse movies and I loved them all. Disney, when I was a child was the most looked forward to TV show of the week. PS I also loved watching the all to short series of "Fury" about this beautiful black stallion. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bobby Wayne wrote and recorded this song. The real Holly Smoke was all black. Ross Worthington on Big Low Gulge is where Holly Some lived. Back in or around 1955 - 1960.
This all happened with Holly Smoke east of Market in Spokane Wa. Holly Smoke NEVER DID enter in the Sucide Race in Omak Wa. Our mare which was bread to Holly Smoke turned out all black. I had him for around 8 years and was stolen from me by a guy from Texas by the last name of Tidwell. He went by many first names.
I always watched The Wonderful World of Disney, but I do not remember this one. Which is interesting as I have always been a horse fanatic, working professionally with them much of my life. I do remember a horse episode with a Paso Fino named Cristobalito (sp?). Sunday evenings were the best!
And to see the lead role ear that colt!! Oh if only she knew how terrible that is to a horse’s ENTIRE body. The temporal mandibular joint is directly connected to the SSB (spheno-basilar synchondrosis) which has a vital roll in the PRM and life. Imagine what we’ll know in another 50 years. Hold on horses. Knowledge to the rescue.
I remember seeing this on Sunday night when I was little. Sundays dinner was always in front on the tv, and we ate on fold out tv tray tables. Back when entire families sat down to dinner together, and Uncle Walt brought us new stories every week. Ah, the good old days of Disney gone by.
I remember watching this film in the third grade! I swear my teacher left this with our sub and said a prayer that I wouldn't drive the rest of my class crazy because I was so obsessed with horses. LOL!
Noworry that was a Hollywood cat ,😮 Declawed and im sure there was 2 different Cats 🤔 ! I was a teenager when this show come out and it's Still A FINE SHOW !!!
It has been decades since I last saw this, but I still remember it. Along with Hacksaw, Justin Morgan had a horse, and Flight of the White Stallions. There was also Twister, Charlie the lonesome cougar, and one about a grizzly bear. I don't remember the name of that one.
My parents showed me the VHS of this when I was a kid. And this was back when Disney was clean, not the trash it shows nowadays with lgbt. This was when movies and tv were considered clean. It's a shame Disney can't go back to the way they used to be.
Thank you for sharing, that was a trip down memory lane. I actually was raised down in the south of Arizona. What a rush having your own horses as a kid, Chopo my quarter horse was my best friend.
with movies such as Run Appaloosa Run, The Horse With the Flying Tail, Justin Morgan Had A Horse, Spirit the Stallion of Cimarron, Home on the Range and let’s not forget all the great tv movie horses,
As did many other movies, especially before the humane society was on scene. Not only the training techniques , falls and dangerous scenes, they declawed and defanged mountain lions .. absolutely inhumane abuse. I like the idea of the wholesome old movies but the use of real animals injured and killed many animals . Others like larger predators bear lions lived lives of hell medically mutilated for our entertainment
I thought I had seen everything that the Wonderful World of Disney put out when I was a kid but I don't remember this 1. Even at 60 years old I still enjoyed it. But I think my most favorite movie they put out is still Charlie the Lonesome Cougar.
Fiquei emocionado com esse filme ,hoje com 71 anos,me lembrei que assisti á esse filme quando era criança,passou no Brasil com o nome de smoking (que foi traduzido como Fumaçinha ) nunca me esqueci.😥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That cougar isn't very big when you compare it to the dog. I would assume that that cougar is a very young one. Back in the day Disney had a cougar called Charlie. They had a movie called Charlie The Lonesome cougar. Charlie went to live in Sequim Washington at the game farm there. I'm not sure how many years he was there or whatever happened to him
Sadly it was pretty common for them to declaw and pull the canine teeth on big cats used in the movies. This one's feet kind of have the floppy appearance of declawing.
I had a appy mare but i had to put her to sleep because she had badly broken her leg but the foal she was carried was saved it only was one week early and the vet save the foal and to this day my friend has that colt and it could run a long way and jump as well as dance as well and he has young foals now
The original Appy’s probably came from horses that arrived with trappers out of Canada and then through selection by the Nez Perce. Appy’s had a more baroque conformation until the Appaloosa Club got ahold of them and basically turned them into quarter horse clones. The french horses probably crossed with Spanish horses. Definitely not out of Mexico and since the french were in the territories looong before spain, 17th century horses in Canada had a strong foothold. But this is the junk period of Disney where the facts were very low and animal abuse making these “documentaries” was high.
Hated this movie. Being native American, wish Hollywood would at least use real native American people to do movies at not a Hollywood actress (Adele Palacios) Mary. No different than trying to use white man to act like black. Hollywood needs to stop!
I'm 72, and I used to LIVE for The Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday. Appalossa is my favorite horse breed. Thank you for showing this. I was riding along with her the whole way.
Same here..Walt Disney on Sunday Nights...whole Family...great times 💖
Growing up, Sunday evenings were always waited for with Disney and Wild America.
They r one of my favorites, too. I remember watching this movie when i was a kid. Great memories. ❤
I loved Sunday night back then.

We were so fortunate. ❤
Yes Every Sunday night even here in Canada …Kurt Russell was in tons of Disney movies 💕
@@MoosefromCanada you're right, and how cute was Kurt Russell? 😍
Still have my appaloosa, he's 29 yrs old & he's been with me 27 yrs. Best horse, ever and beautiful too!
That's awesome! My almost 30 year-old blanket POA passed away in 2017 after a fall on the ice. 😢😭😭 She lived 10 years longer than the vet said she would after skin cancer diagnosis & anti-cancer diet. Enjoy your 4-legged friend!
I had my Appalossa fo r30+ year. Best horse ever!
I was obsessed with this when I was little...reminds me of riding my own horses when I was able...Good Times
Cool😊❤

I was born in 1969 but grwoing up in the early 1970's, every sunday night we'd sit and watch The wonderful world of disneyu and watch movies like this with a big bowl of popcorn for all us kids tro share. We were glued. And I have raised my own son and daughter on the Wonderful world of DFiosney and Disney World.
Gotta love that dog. He certainly was a trainer. I miss these type programs from Disney. Thanks for the episode.
My first horse was an Appaloosa pony named Scout, 38 years later still loving and working with horses. Not Appy's but just as good!
That scene of them jumping the old car has stuck in my mind for over 40 years. I have always wondered what the name of the movie was. I remembered the horse was Holy Smoke, but not the name of the movie. Thank you for solving the puzzle.
14:36 I recall this scene so vividly from seeing this movie in a Johannesburg cinema as a young boy. So happy to watch this again at 65 yrs old. I was so passionate for horses that this movie was a treat.
Hope you got yourself one or several, eventually!
@@melhawk6284 Oh yes once I left school and started working, ( money) first two Thoroughbred ex racehorses, then a Welsh cob, then a Anglo Arab and lastly an Irish Thoroughbred. All budget buys, failed racehorses are inexpensive to buy and make good hacks.
@@johnsmith-ht3sy here in the US, those Off Track Thouroughbreds are, I SWEAR the best kept secret for barrel racing, if they're not too tall! And I would LOVE a Welsh Cob. The taller ones, and I DO enjoy some flashy feathering!
@@melhawk6284 Welsh Cob was a character, he was more forward moving than a Thoroughbred, full of energy. I got him cheap, because his vices were, he hated girl riders, they could not control him, he never messed with me, and his other vice was when he was being patted by little kids, he would grab them by the shoulder and lift them up. He did eventually mature and grew out of those colt teenage traits.
I remember this show very well. Still sing the song!!!! ❤
What a wonderful film,i can’t believe I’ve never seen this before as I’ve always had a deep love for the Appaloosa but I’m so glad I’ve seen it,although a little hard to watch in places it was a very beautiful film 🐴❤️
Oh my gosh, the race scenes! Incredible riding….how she hung on to that horse. Times sure have changed…somethings for the better, somethings for the worse. Seems like people were tougher back then and more trusting about stuff. Can’t recall ever seeing this movie even though we were huddled around that tv set as a family every Sunday evening! Fun memories.
Loved this movie. Very refreshingly pleasant.
I'm 62 and grew up on Disney never seen this one. Thank you for posting it loved it. They don't make good shows any more.
Every Sunday 6.30pm our routine was bath, dinner and ready to watch it's a wonderful world of Disney then bed 7.30pm. I'm 56 years old and remember with fond memories of our family enjoying the show and hating if we had to wait a whole week for the outcome ❤❤❤
its about time that i got to see this again THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!!!!!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
I was so excited for Sunday night to come, so we could all gather around the TV and watch this show!❤️
Thank you for bringing back such a beautiful memory from my childhood. throughout my lifetime and it's been a long lifetime, that's song "Run Appaloosa run" Runs through my mind every now and again. I loved it then and so loved it now. I even had the awesome pleasure to have owned one these most treasured spotted horses. Must admit chose however on my most favorite breed of horse and that is the Morgan horse, from another Disney movie and that was "Justin Morgan had horse" I had several of them too. Disney had quite a few horse movies and I loved them all. Disney, when I was a child was the most looked forward to TV show of the week.
PS I also loved watching the all to short series of "Fury" about this beautiful black stallion.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of good memories around this one.
Oh how I remember this. My favorite. Was & still am horse crazy at almost 72!!!
Back when Disney was clean, good, and wholesome, not the evil it has become now. Walt Disney would be so ashamed.
Bobby Wayne wrote and recorded this song. The real Holly Smoke was all black. Ross Worthington on Big Low Gulge is where Holly Some lived. Back in or around 1955 - 1960.
This all happened with Holly Smoke east of Market in Spokane Wa. Holly Smoke NEVER DID enter in the Sucide Race in Omak Wa. Our mare which was bread to Holly Smoke turned out all black. I had him for around 8 years and was stolen from me by a guy from Texas by the last name of Tidwell. He went by many first names.
@@billsprague9783That sucks. Isn't horse thieving a capital offense?
Wish I had seen this info before my Aunt passed last year. She had two appys and lived on Mt Sookane in that time period. Wonder now if they were get.
I always watched The Wonderful World of Disney, but I do not remember this one. Which is interesting as I have always been a horse fanatic, working professionally with them much of my life. I do remember a horse episode with a Paso Fino named Cristobalito (sp?). Sunday evenings were the best!
I’m so glad they still show these movies
Love this movie
And to see the lead role ear that colt!! Oh if only she knew how terrible that is to a horse’s ENTIRE body. The temporal mandibular joint is directly connected to the SSB (spheno-basilar synchondrosis) which has a vital roll in the PRM and life.
Imagine what we’ll know in another 50 years. Hold on horses. Knowledge to the rescue.
I remember seeing this on Sunday night when I was little. Sundays dinner was always in front on the tv, and we ate on fold out tv tray tables. Back when entire families sat down to dinner together, and Uncle Walt brought us new stories every week. Ah, the good old days of Disney gone by.
I remember watching this film in the third grade! I swear my teacher left this with our sub and said a prayer that I wouldn't drive the rest of my class crazy because I was so obsessed with horses. LOL!
This movie, along with Old Yeller, was my first Western film back when I was a little kid ^_^
Noworry that was a Hollywood cat ,😮 Declawed and im sure there was 2 different Cats 🤔 ! I was a teenager when this show come out and it's Still A FINE SHOW !!!
Esas películas de Disney me llenan el corazón de un sentimiento que no puedo explicar ❤
Loved Disney and had an Appaloosa too! Thanks for posting
It has been decades since I last saw this, but I still remember it. Along with Hacksaw, Justin Morgan had a horse, and Flight of the White Stallions. There was also Twister, Charlie the lonesome cougar, and one about a grizzly bear. I don't remember the name of that one.
The appy breed is the tuff stuff and can go a long way
I grew up riding Appys!!! I loved Mary and I loved Holy Smoke but Silver stole the show!!!! ❤❤❤
The opening was filmed on Dick and Edith Stranger s Ranch above Bone Idaho Their Ranch was The Double Arrow Breeders of great Appaloosa 48:10
I have been wanting to see this disney movie for over 30+years. 😂❤😂😂
Wilbur Plaugher used to have a ranch in O neals CA . He was still riding and working cows at 90. He passed on at 95
Gd movie clean ❤😊
My parents showed me the VHS of this when I was a kid. And this was back when Disney was clean, not the trash it shows nowadays with lgbt. This was when movies and tv were considered clean. It's a shame Disney can't go back to the way they used to be.
Thank you for sharing, that was a trip down memory lane. I actually was raised down in the south of Arizona. What a rush having your own horses as a kid, Chopo my quarter horse was my best friend.
with movies such as Run Appaloosa Run, The Horse With the Flying Tail, Justin Morgan Had A Horse, Spirit the Stallion of Cimarron, Home on the Range and let’s not forget all the great tv movie horses,
Walt Disney movies used cruel tactics to get animals to "act" on cue.
As did many other movies, especially before the humane society was on scene. Not only the training techniques , falls and dangerous scenes, they declawed and defanged mountain lions .. absolutely inhumane abuse. I like the idea of the wholesome old movies but the use of real animals injured and killed many animals
. Others like larger predators bear lions lived lives of hell medically mutilated for our entertainment
Grazie!
When Disney used to be good and family oriented.
What a great memory!
I love this one and Hacksaw!!
Back when walt ran the company...
I also LOVED The Tattooed Police Horse❤❣❣❣❣🐴
Did they give any award to the wonderful dog
I thought I had seen everything that the Wonderful World of Disney put out when I was a kid but I don't remember this 1. Even at 60 years old I still enjoyed it. But I think my most favorite movie they put out is still Charlie the Lonesome Cougar.
Echt brutal der Film...Tierquälerei mit den Pferden....auf brutalste Art!!!
The introduction was filmed on Dick and Edith Stanger s Ranch above Bone Idaho
❤❤❤
Is it the lighting at 32:36 or did the dog transform from a border collie to an Aussie?
Interesting to think my appaloosa could be a descendent of one of these appaloosas.
Fiquei emocionado com esse filme ,hoje com 71 anos,me lembrei que assisti á esse filme quando era criança,passou no Brasil com o nome de smoking (que foi traduzido como Fumaçinha ) nunca me esqueci.😥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The Omak Stampede still goes on today.
They totally sent a mountain lion after a horse and then had the dog mess with it.
The mountain lion was hunting the foal, and the dog saved the day! Unless you're talking about behind the scenes.
What was the plan if the cat called the dogs bluff??
That cougar isn't very big when you compare it to the dog. I would assume that that cougar is a very young one. Back in the day Disney had a cougar called Charlie. They had a movie called Charlie The Lonesome cougar. Charlie went to live in Sequim Washington at the game farm there. I'm not sure how many years he was there or whatever happened to him
Sadly it was pretty common for them to declaw and pull the canine teeth on big cats used in the movies. This one's feet kind of have the floppy appearance of declawing.
Remember a film called 'Horse in the grey flannel suit'.
Holy Smoke - Trained by the Immmortal Jimmy Williams!
OMG the filming...... so cruel to animals.
I had a appy mare but i had to put her to sleep because she had badly broken her leg but the foal she was carried was saved it only was one week early and the vet save the foal and to this day my friend has that colt and it could run a long way and jump as well as dance as well and he has young foals now
Thanks for sharing this movie. They do not make them like this anymore since Disney went Woke…..
The original Appy’s probably came from horses that arrived with trappers out of Canada and then through selection by the Nez Perce.
Appy’s had a more baroque conformation until the Appaloosa Club got ahold of them and basically turned them into quarter horse clones.
The french horses probably crossed with Spanish horses.
Definitely not out of Mexico and since the french were in the territories looong before spain, 17th century horses in Canada had a strong foothold.
But this is the junk period of Disney where the facts were very low and animal abuse making these “documentaries” was high.
Not something to celebrate watching now....such bad cruelty involved...
I thought the same thing. It was actually hard for me to watch this all the way through.
Hated this movie. Being native American, wish Hollywood would at least use real native American people to do movies at not a Hollywood actress (Adele Palacios) Mary. No different than trying to use white man to act like black. Hollywood needs to stop!
What is she? Jewish?
Well encourage more native Americans to try for movie parts to make it happen the Yellowstone episodes have native Americans playing n it
Great lityle.movie. They are special!!!
Fake as hell
