About National Velvet/The Story of Seabiscuit/Black Beauty

Adventure gallops home in three films featuring the speed, power and grace of majestic horses. In two-time Academy Award winner* National Velvet (Disc 1/Side A), Elizabeth Taylor poses as a boy in order to ride her beloved steed in the Grand National. Mickey Rooney co-stars in this all-time thoroughbred of a family-film winner. Real-life racing footage of the legendary "the Biscuit" adds to the drama of The Story of Seabiscuit (Disc 1/Side B), starring Shirley Temple. And the heroic colt in Black Beauty (Disc 2) triumphs over adversity and changes lives as he passes from owner to owner. David Thewlis and Sean Bean lead the two-legged cast members in this splendid version of Anna Sewell's famed tale. Time to ride!

national velvet movie

I bought this for my mom, took way too long to get it, then it didn't work. It would be a hassle to return and I found it for 7 bucks less at target. Never again. April 27, 2008

National Velvet, Story of Seabiscuit,Black Beauty --- All great movies for a "horse loving" granddaughter! April 5, 2008

Excellen collection

The movies National Velvet/The Story of Seabiscuit are so full of life and the acting of both Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney are excellent (in the first film). Shirley Temple excells in the second film. Through the innocense of children, we see these wonderful movies on horse racing. August 5, 2007
