Just thought of another big favourite: 'Crin-Blanc' or 'White Mane', a fairly corny story about a poor young fisher-boy in the Camargue who befriends a wild white stallion. Never mind the corny storyline, though, the photography is fantastic. It won the short film prize at the Cannes festival in 1953.
Be aware, though, that there are some tough scenes, notably a long fight between two stallions which can't have been mocked-up: they are really fighting and I think the film-makers would have a job to get away with it now. A beautiful film for all that. The whole 38 minute film is on YouTube. Watch it and see the Camargue without being eaten alive by mosquitoes.
