Animatronic Horse From Steven Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’ Joins WGA and SAG-AFTRA Picket Line

It wasn't just humans who picketed outside of Warner Bros. studios this week. The animatronic horse featured in Steven Spielberg's 2011 film War Horse galloped into the fight, as seen in a photo shared by writer Todd Spence.

Spence tweeted news on X (formerly Twitter) that the fake animal had joined the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike on Tuesday, writing, "It galloped, blinked, everything. Really shows the human artistry that goes into these films and how certain CEO's take it for granted."

The War Horse isn't the first of its kind to show support for strikers. When the cast of Parks and Recreation reunited on the picket line in August, they brought Pawnee's mini horse Li'l Sebastian along with them.

Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Ben Schwartz and Jim O'Heir gathered at Amazon Studios, signs in hand and Li'l Sebastian in tow, who trotted through the streets with his purple jersey.

Schwartz shared a photo of the whole gang together, writing, "Lil Sebastian made a rare public appearance to support the #sagaftrastrike #wgastrike alongside some people who understand how amazing he is."
