Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaElliott Gould was the original voice of the horse. After a poor test screening of the film, the horse's half of the script was rewritten by Andy Breckman in an effort to make the film funnier. John Candy was hired to re-record the horse's voice. He ignored the new script and improvised the dialogue instead.

Featured review
Hot is not!
As far as 80s comedies go, this is definitely among the worst ones ever, with inept and lousy writing that breaks the ecstatic barrier! Mister Ed would've taken a bad rap through this excrusiating rip-off of talking animal movies and TV shows. Notice how the mouth of Don The Horse doesn't synchronize well with John Candy's voiceover. The children's audience was what the studio hoped for, and just what is the meaning of all the flatulent jokes and improper language? Make no mistakes, because this is the perfect substitute for Mucilage that comes in handy whenever the afterlife doesn't stick. Or worse, stinks, depending on how you felt over the dreadful HOT TO TROT. There are better things to do, like cleaning up after the horses in the barn.
