Watched it every year for my birthday for seven years still going! While others who don't like it may not appreciate it, as a horse lover I loved it and found it hilarious! This movie is like home alone with horses and is definitely worth more than 2.9 stars! I gave it 10 and I believe it deserves more of those!!!

I'm a fan of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," so I've willingly sat through some of the worst films ever made. But when it comes to children's entertainment, it doesn't get more bottom-of-the-barrel than this little disasterpiece. Normally, there wouldn't be any need to write a review about movies like this. This movie disappeared into a well-deserved obscurity. But now I find it in 10 movie children's film DVD packs available for $5 at Wal-Mart. So some unsuspecting parent will stumble upon this film, think it a harmless piece of entertainment for the kids, and then proceed to traumatize their children for life with a story about bratty girls, creepy, repulsive, yet idiotic kidnappers, a dream sequence about a horse getting killed, a reference to white slavery (I'm not kidding), and a wonderfully bloody scene of a horse on an operating table after getting shot. Please...if you love your children...avoid this film. It's not for kids. It's not for ANYONE.

Two Bits and Pepper is definitely not the best horse film I have seen and it does have a lot of faults. Adults will most likely find this film predictable and irritating but little kids are bound to enjoy it. The story is very simple - two girls are kidnapped by two very stupid kidnappers (the kind you would see in Beethoven 3, only more stupid because they can't even add 1+11!) and the kid's ponies (Two Bits and Pepper) decide to rescue their owners and bring the kidnappers to justice. The ponies do speak (Homeward Bound style) but have very irritating voices that I felt were unemotional and past caring. This film does have a lot of flaws and unfortunately they are noticeable. The kidnappers do not speak with any emotion and sounded like they just wanted to get on with it and the girls, I think were the only ones that acted well. There were a few good scenes such as when a fire breaks out but it is fairly easy to lose interest and the film gets boring towards the end because we all know what is going to happen. Yes the horses are cute and the stunts preformed were OK and the scenery was nice but nothing could save this film from the lack of professionalism. I think it will appeal more to little kids. But one good point is that the film teaches them that they should not talk to strangers or get in a stranger's car. This film is not great and I have seen better but for the money (£1 in Woolworths) it is OK though I would not view it more than once. 5/10.

Nice little story about 2 girls and their horses. The horses talk to each other in the style of Homeward Bound or Look Who's Talking. Toss in two bumbling kidnappers (both played by Joe Piscopo) for some comic relief and we have a story with a little drama, comedy, parental conflict on the trials and tribulations of growing up. Although predictable, it is charming and will appeal to little girls everywhere.
