Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002)

Great, thought-provoking, feel-good movie

I decided to order Spirit pretty randomly. I remembered enjoying it when I was younger and admired the production and the artwork.

The DVD itself has a fun, interactive menu and of course the movie is every bit as fun and inspirational as it was when I first watched it all those years ago. I would highly recommend it for girls 4-14 and believe boys could enjoy it, to a lesser extent, from 4-7 or so. Of course, if you're a fan of horses, you'll enjoy this movie at just about any age, and if you're interested in a very different style of animation, I would also suggest this movie for study (there is a LARGE amount of CG models painted over to appear 2D) The music is exceptional and Dreamworks handles it very differently from Disney, so it's a nice change.

If this movie has piqued your interest at all and you're reading this review to see if it'll convince you to or to not buy it...BUY IT. It's worth watching and sharing. August 31, 2008

Really Awsome!

"Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" was a great movie that is worth watching by the whole family. With it's engaging storyline and fitting musical score, this is an inspiring tale of the little pony that could, or I shall I say, did.

In the beginning we me Spirit, the free to roam stallion of the west. We fall in love with him as we see breif encounters of his early life as comes into power as the leader of the heard. Very quickyly see his first encounter with humans, wich then leads to his captivity. The rest of the movie follows his slow coming friendship with an indian brave, as he regains his freedom and finds his heard.

The elements that I enjoy most about this movie would have to be the developement of spirit's character, and the greatly enjoyable music. Not only was the music fitting to the emotions and plot of the story, but in and of it's self a work of art. The way they gave human behavior to an animated horse is beyond me. Exept for him narrating, you really got to know spirit's personality throughout the movie.

Though I greatly enjoy this movie, there are some elements that I didn't really enjoy. There is an element that suggests how evil white people are, that's the only reason that this movie isn't a 5 star for me. Despite that though, this movie really worth watching and adding to anyone's library. August 13, 2008

One-dimensional.

It has a simplistic storyline with one-dimensional characters. It is difficult to extract a clear moral value or message other than the horses are very-good and the people are very-bad. Perhaps it has entertaining value to small kids.

True SPIRIT

This movie captured my sons attention from beginning to end. Spirit is a horse that refuses to be broken. The music is wonderful; I even bought the soundtrack. July 20, 2008
