Black Beauty as he appears in "Shrek: Totally Tangled Tales"
Black Beauty is a character who briefly appeared in the "Shrek: Totally Tangled Tales" DVD game. He is from the eponymous novel, Black Beauty.
Shrek: Totally Tangled Tales[]
In one of the storybook animations, Black Beauty is trailing along a grassy field while being ridden by rider Joe Green. Suddenly paparazzi arrive to take photos of the horse. Being an attention seeker, Black Beauty begins posing for pictures while on his hind legs and throwing Green off his back. He twirls and bites a rose for added class.
Despite the animation depicting him as a vain, shallow horse- the questions describe his humble, romantic nature who went through several triumphs and struggles. His story is also told through first-person, providing a unique perspective that is unknown to the humans within his narrative.
Trivia[]
- Another DreamWorks Animation film, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, used similar storytelling techniques to Black Beauty.
- In the former Donkey meet-and-greet at Universal Studios Florida, one of the neighboring stables had a sign reading "Black Beauty." This was removed somewhere between 2008-2010.
