'Black Beauty' Trailer: Kate Winslet Voices A Horse That Bonds With A Girl In Disney's Drama

In a year that sees Kate Winslet possibly earn awards recognition for her role in the upcoming film “Ammonite,” perhaps the most interesting role the actress has is in “Black Beauty.” Why? Well, in this upcoming Disney+ feature, Winslet doesn’t appear on screen. Instead, she voices a horse.

In the Disney+ reimagining of “Black Beauty,” Kate Winslet lends her talents to voice the title character, a horse that is ripped from her family and is sent to another farm. There, she bonds with a young woman and the two develop a friendship that transcends typical horse/human relationships. Did we mention that Winslet voices the horse? Well, she does. However, if you watched the new trailer for “Black Beauty” and were hoping to hear the horse speak, you’re out of luck. In fact, Disney doesn’t even advertise that the horse speaks or that Winslet is involved. Why? That’s a good question, as you would think the biggest draw to the film would be the Academy Award-winning actress voicing the title character.
