Animal movies

So about animal movies... to be honest, they are not usually my style. Give me a comedy, a dramedy, an independent flick, maybe even a sports movie... but an animal movie. Eh. Notsomuch. Well, during my life-altering (kinda sorta) conference last week, one of the presenters used clips from "Seabiscuit" in her presentation. Let me tell you - it worked! I was inspired AND I wanted to watch the movie I had never seen. In fact, she should hook up w/the producers or something. Surely she has inspired more than just myself to watch this movie. Personally, I was inspired. It's a good story, actually. Very uplifting. SPOILER ALERT! The horse wins the big race. I know, I know. I'm awful for spoiling it, but it's based on a true story. So it's not like I'm exactly giving anything away. Use the Internet, you'll find out the whole story in a matter of seconds. In any case, it was a good movie and it really hit a nerve with what I'm trying to do. Now if only I could get my "horse(s)" to win the race... that's the happy ending I'm looking for.
