Description
Warwick Davis (of WILLOW and the LEPRECHAUN movies) has been
filming a series of low-budget but rather charming family movies in
which he portrays "Lucky the Leprechaun" (height-casting, I guess
you'd call it), and in this one he helps young Leah (Carly and
Natalie Anderson) to capture and train the almost legendary "White
Pony" in preparation for a horse show. What we find out early on
(no spoiler here) is that the White Pony is, in fact, a woman from
Fairyland who has been transformed into a horse by an evil creature
whose advances she spurned. All ends well, Leah and Lucky win the
horseshow, the prize allows the White Pony to return to Fairyland,
and upon leaving Earth, she is restored to her human form. Though
she seemed entirely equine while in her pony incarnation (never
showing any sign of human intelligence), she speaks to Leah and
Lucky while appearing before them in silhouette (we never see her
face) and grants each a wish. A fun movie for the kids, also
starring Oliver Gunier, a usually karate-kicking action hero who
never lifts a foot in this one.
