Back to Moviefone 2011 Holiday Movie Preview
'War Horse'
DreamWorks
Release Date: Dec. 25
Steven Spielberg's latest live-action film looks like it's going to take the horse genre one hoof further. (Couldn't resist.) Based on a Michael Morpurgo novel, 'War Horse' follows the story of a horse sold to the cavalry in World War I. Despite being too young to enlist, his teenage former owner enlists to rescue his friend. This is Spielberg's realm: heavy drama, great war, friendship at whatever cost, lush cinematography and John Williams music. You probably had a tough time keeping your eyes dry during the trailer, so you can only imagine what the finished product will be like. 'War Horse' is on the short list of Best Picture contenders. -- Chris Jancelewicz
