War Horse

I never have (and probably never will) see the movie, but the play was wonderful.

The story isn't unique or new and can be guessed far in advance but the horses are incredible.  Both Joey (as a foal and an adult) and Topthorn, along with the draft horses who are near death are so believable despite the fact that you can see the people manipulating them and they're skeletons are metal.

I was worried about this play - particularly since I was certain I wouldn't want to see the movie but I'm glad that I decided to go and that the Kennedy Center produced it.  A good time, even with the expected tears!
