Beyond Black Beauty

This thing makes the 2020 Disney version feel like the 1994 one. Why the hell do they keep turning Anna Sewell's masterpiece into a generic horse girl story?! Is it that difficult to make a faithful adaptation of the book? Like, okay, they don't need to do a total copy and paste of the book, but at least keep the main concept (a black horse being sold and bought by many people, some of them good but most of them bad). And also, why do the most recent adaptations have the bad habit of making Beauty a mare instead of a stallion like in the book? If they wanted to make a movie about a girl and a mare they should have adapted Flicka instead of Black Beauty.
