About this listen

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss Miracle of the White Stallions (1963), a Disney live-action film inspired by the real rescue of the Lipizzaner horses of the Spanish Riding School at the end of World War II.

Set in the war’s final months in Austria and Czechoslovakia, the film offers a very Disney take on Operation Cowboy, the joint effort to save the horses as the Third Reich collapsed.

Joined by our friend Alora, we explore why the real history is more compelling than the film, and why this extraordinary rescue deserves a modern retelling.
