A bull isn’t the normal animal of choice for a film like this, but the storyline and such demands it and it works to sheer perfection. I love Lassie, Old Yeller, My Dog Skip, and yes, The Brave One. I’m not usually one for sympathetic, emotional type flicks, but when an animal is involved, I always get suckered in. I know some of you have heard of this film, but for the most part I think it has been lost in the modern shuffle, which is a shame. This movie isn’t the most famous one in the world and it never will be, but I will do this review for one reason, to let people know it exists. But even if he can cease the fight in time, will his bull ever be the same? Leonardo cries, pleads, and begs to no avail and when all else fails, he takes his case to the very top of the Mexican government. But the good times are about to end, when the owner of the bull shows up to take him away, to be killed in a bullfighting match. The bull even steps in and returns the favor he was given, when he saves young Leonardo from a prowling and dangerous predator. As the young boy grows, as does the bull only on a much more advanced scale, of course. Leonardo and the bull quickly become the best friends and before long, it seems as though where one is, the other can always be found.

We all know that youngsters tend to become attached to animals they’re followed home by, but what if an unusual animal managed to capture the child’s attentions? This is what happens when young Leonardo (Michael Ray) saves a small bull in a horrendous storm, which leads to many good times and also some bad ones. Plot: What’s it about? Video: How does it look?
