Channel 4 News War Horse

[GabiPayn]

Everything looks beautiful... til you get to the hind leg. There's no femur, fibula, tibia articulation! Someone needs to work on their anatomy.

[FlashMcFlowers]

@GabiPayn

Snob!!

[weeksza]

watch it at  leakedmovies . biz

[chinzebo]

WONDERFUL..THX for sharing!!!!!

[SatinTaters]

Although it's completely amazing that the mechanics are so accurate to the way an actual horse moves... why don't they just use real horses?

[Predatorpaul77]

What wood and metal? All I can see are horses..SImply outstanding! :)

[jjtheslayer69]

they recreated them in wireframe thats so cool, and it has a about 150 verticies, im guessing

[spirit6938]

i want one of thouse lol

[TraceurHarryG1]

the best play ever created

[FileSpnR]

Those puppets are so awesome

[Yrie27]

Oh my God, these puppets are amazing!

[Noodlemonkey7]

Just seeing how lifelike the horses are puts me in tears. It really does suck that I'll never be able to see this wonderful play...

[urmerm]

Take that, Japan!! >:D

[LolaRose109]

So clever and inspirational, the idea behind the puppets is amazing!

[myhorses4ever]

one million horses lost in war! That is horrible :/ but this play looks so inspiaring!

[2853lner]

@myhorses4ever

At least you can eat real horses! I bet the one in the play is a bit chewy

[WebkinzLover450]

I read War Horse, the one they based this off of. Amazing book, GO READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

Now to see this play. :D

[ikjft]

They're so beautiful!

[RandomTask3000]

Whaddaya know! Puppets. Still doing amazing things.

[pastyhead80]

im off to see this in a couple of weeks and cant wait!

[badgerassassin1]

went to watch it yesterday. it was the best show i had ever seen !

[Northern1Lass]

had two actors from War Horse come to do a workshop at my drama school. Going to see it in a few weeks and getting a backstage tour before the show!! im sooo excited!

[CochroachKappa]

Had the great honor of seeing this in London. There's nothing else like it. The feeling this play give you is overwhelming.

[linustheferret]

AMAZING I need to see this!!!!!!

[rattypink]

omg you can ride them.

[rebellewis]

saw this two weeks ago and found it absolutely amazing, wether you are a horse fan or not it really is a must to see this production. I own two horses myself and marvelled at how accurate and life like these puppets are. Give yourself ten minutes and you forget that they are puppets at all. A very emotional, funny, scarily accurate account of ww1 developed from the horses perspective. a real tribute to all our equine friends.

[nogingerfool]

the stage crew are drunks.

[UtterlyBGroovy]

I saw this last night and it is just totally amazing.

[superbuttonmoon]

saw it last night.

they look so real. you just forget about the poeple controlling them.

amazing. :)

[Fleroplane]

Amazing. This play is amazing.

[XxXxXhorseLoverXxXxX]

i saw this on saturday it was brilliant it made me cry and the guy who looked after the horse called Joey i got his autograph

[juliebramley64]

As a riding instructor and life-long horse owner I was amazed - blown away - the movements are absolutely bang on! I soon forgot about the extra legs! Magical.

[Mauricebear]

Saw the play and it is magnificent

[XxXxXhorseLoverXxXxX]

@Mauricebear did it make you cry? coz it made me cry

[CrazeeCatrin]

love the shelia's wheels commercial at the end

[battousaiblade]

that is way way too real i agree with stat1971

[glehnmarc]

That's a pretty flash newsdesk.

[MiraSekelsky]

I saw this and LOVED it so much. The foal is so cute, and the movements of the grown horses (the fight scene and Joey galloping especially) is mind-blowing!

It was utterly magical, moving, emotional. Would highly recommend this to anyone, whether or not you're a horse-lover/owner.

[HarryMonsta]

the most moving peice of theater i have ever seen and i cant wait to see it again :)

[nanakla]

Impressive! I almost thought thewy had real horses in there..

[xstarxlilyx]

Came all the way from the States to see this. It was absolutely amazing.

[tomgftw1]

Watched it yesterday and Oh My God.

It was utterly mind blowing....they weren't horse puppets, they were horses. The guys controlling the horses just sort of disappeared and what was left was this very real horse, with very real emotions.

I've seen a lot of plays, but War Horse blew them ALL away, as well as every film i've ever seen.

[ClarkeGarbutt]

@tomgftw1 Im going to see it with my gf for her 21st, she dosnt know yet but Im glad you said its good. Didnt want to waist my money lol

[myhorses4ever]

@tomgftw1 My friend said just the samee! :) I really want 2 see it!

[GottaHaveMyHorse]

omg forget see it, i wanna be in it!!! to bad i live ina different country :(

[JoshEFC100]

the guy who played lead was exceptonial, he also trained at lamda one of the worlds best stage schools, they wouldn't let anyone.

[KnightHawke01]

I wish I could see it.

[lamentes]

It was exceptionally good except for the lead character and the script. I'm studying A-level drama i i loved the play. But the lead character was far too forced and unrealistic. The script was crap aswell. Other than that, brilliant, i want a horse like that!

[Tanzz88]

@lamentes; I totally agree with you and design-wise, it's absolutely brilliant. I'm doing GCSE Drama & for my mock exam I have to write about the acting, & although I loved the play, analysing the acting is a nightmare :(

[tomgftw1]

@Tanzz88 erm...not really....

I'm an A2 theatre studies student and I can tell you that it really isn't very hard to analyse...

[katerocks4life]

I've seen in twice. Amazing.

[SuckMyDave]

jesus christ. Just amazing!

[chinzebo]

I WANT ONE!!!

[adiver69]

I saw Warhorse on Friday 13th November. It was completely believable. The plot is straightforward, but the emotions aroused are no less powerful because of that. An awesome production. I'll be going again!

[joaopeixoto71]

I went to see this on Saturday 05th Sept.Extremely clever and yes you do relate to the horses as if they were real however I just felt there was something lacking.

[bawdekin]

I thought the show was sepctacular but was completely unmoved throughout...maybe because if you take away the special effects the story is too simple and obvious

[Bitterblue911]

One of the most amazing plays I've ever seen...

[kabrilew]

Wow, these are amazing..... I do hope the show comes stateside where I can go see it. This is incredible!!!! So lifelike! :)

[superjules]

Weird how the whole story is reduced to the number ticket sales. Income=quality.

[alanwoody673]

I love the bit @1.34

[101rachie1992]

OMG, they move like they're real! I am a horsey person, i'm doing an equine course at college and work with them everyday and this is just amazing! They must have had to study the movements of horses to get the movements spot on to look more like a real horse. Amazing. I love the book and now i really want to see this! :-D

[STWProductions2008]

trust me its worth it

[spidereine]

it was absolutely amazing - and, for most of the play, I was convinced they WERE horses - even their eyes shone like they were alive

[rach46773]

yer i hav to say they'v pulled it off well. They must hav made the ppl who are moving the horses study the horses body language coz they wud fool me for a few mins. they do look real!

[metalequine]

I thought they were actual horses! Amazing!

[darthbreezy]

Love seeing Joey and Topthorn again!

[theassassinnox]

Wow, the movement and puppetry is spooky good. I'm really impressed. It seems like a really neat show!

[stat1791]

Being a horse owner I must say I can hardly believe how accurate and lifelike the movements are. Extraordinary!

[MandeeSparkle]

@stat1791 They took these puppets to the palace to have them interact with the color of the guard horses and the real horses responded to them, but were confused because of the lack of horse smell.

[buslady]

@MandeeSparkle I would have loved to see that!!

[jakebully123]

@stat1791 imj a horse owner to and i found it amazing to watch :)

[ebbnmaggs]

@stat1791 i know! the ears and tail, watching them you know the corioghraphers know horses so well x

[skyandkit]

Cant wait til i see this next week!

[lalielaslap]

i am so glad to be South African when I see stuff like this!!!

[perfectworld321]

i read this book- i wish i could see this :(

[BreyerLottie]

same

[horselover100]

amazing!

[empyreanlc]

They move like they're real, amazing

[Rikutida]

This is so amaziiiing

When we switched into the channel my mum was like OH MY GOD WHAT DID THEY DO TO THE HORSES - it took us quite a moment to realize that it wasn't a real horse, the movements are so excellent and close to a real horse.

[kilahri]

I saw this yesterday ^^

IT WAS AMAZING! I saw it yesterday, this must have been filmed today or then, but seriously it was wow. At the end it was given a standing ovation and everything x
