The classic 1877 novel Beauty Beauty is getting a new cinematic adaptation on Disney+ just in time for the holiday season, with the film releasing its first theatrical trailer.
Starring Mackenzie Foy as a young girl named Jo Green who recently lost her family, Jo finds solace when she bonds with a wild horse rescue by her legal guardian, John Manley. As the horse and girl connect and heal from their respective trauma, the rescue period for Black Beauty expires, with the horse adopted by a different family.
Determined to reunite with her equine soulmate, Jo leaves her home behind to find her horse while the mare is seen galloping through sweeping landscapes searching for the young girl.
The film marks the latest adaptation of Anna Sewell's novel of the same name, written and directed by filmmaker and equestrian Ashley Avis. The film joins Disney+'s increasingly high-profile lineup of original films and series debuting over the course of November, including the upcoming LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special.
Written and directed by Ashley Avis, Black Beauty stars Mackenzie Foy, Kate Winslet, Fern Deacon, Claire Forlani and Iain Glen. The film premieres on Disney+ on Nov. 27.
