War Horse picked up 8 awards including best play at the prestigious American Tony Awards. When it first transferred to Broadway some of the critics said that the puppets were wonderful but the story was weak. I didn't agree with that at all, yes it was simply told but it didn't need anything complicated. It's depth comes from the fact it echos with the stories of all the men and horses who went to fight in the first world war. I could go on but I think this writer hits a few nails on the head and if you are a fan of War Horse, worth a read :) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/8573675/The-magic-of-War-Horse.html

I saw it more than a year ago in london and was completely stunned!! I cried loads in it and it just blew me away. seeing it on youtube is amazing and reminds me of how moving it was- but you MUST see it performed live it is just.... beautiful! the way they capture the horses is so realistic and overpowering words can't describe how it made me feel :') x

The film opens in the UK on Jan 13th 2012. But here's the trailer for you-I put it in my videos too :) I had to laugh because I just read that Steven Spielberg was a bit frustrated by his equine stars as they wouldn't do what he wanted-ha ha, join the gang Stephen, horses aren't puppets even if you are a big Hollywood Film Director! (see link for story)

I can't wait for the film :) and when we go to see the olympic we thought we would go see a west end performance the night before and i can't decide whether to go see war horse or wicked, i think i am drifting toward wicked (sorry war horse lol) because i have always always always wanted to see wicked haha and i have my faithful war horse book to read whenever i feel like it :) its getting a bit worn now though, have owned it for 7 years but i still read it

And i might go tell spielberg that real horses are very expressive, just that the expression could be a very co-operative one or a very stubborn one lol but real horses are the best, puppets (although they were very cool) just aren't the same when i watch clips of the stage performance compared to the trailer i prefer the look of the trailer because the fact real horses are in the film will just make it that much better for me haha, they should have used real horses on stage ;) haha that would have been amusing

Jess, I really recommend you go and see War Horse if you get the chance even if you have read the book as the puppets-seems wrong to call them that- are fantastic and I think good theatre is a really powerful experience. I do have a friend who won't go and see it though, as she knows she'll get upset, which I can understand as I have to turn the TV off if the film of Black Beauty is on!!

I went to see it the first year it came to the stage! I was totally blown away, with everything about it. No words to describe my experience of being apart of the audience, so moving and powerful. A MUST SEE!! I wonder if the film is as good to watch, but looking foward to it. x
