About The Littlest Horse Thieves
When the owner of a Yorkshire coal-mine decides to mechanize to increase profits, the mine's pit ponies are scheduled to be destroyed. So, three children plan to steal them to keep them safe. But when they're caught, it's up to the mine owners and the miners themselves to decide what's right.
Directed by Charles Jarrott, The Littlest Horse Thieves leans on a strong ensemble — Alastair Sim, Peter Barkworth, Maurice Colbourne — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 1976.
