Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

It's an extraordinary feat of animation, possibly the most lovingly conceived, uncompromisingly executed and totally successful animated film since "The Lion King." more

It's classic animation wedded to modern technology -- painted pictures that move in magical splendor.

The movie's big action scenes, at times, make you forget you're even watching animation. There's an in-your-face sequence involving a runaway, crashing train that will make you squirm in your seat trying to get out of the way. more

An animated fairy tale made with simple, elegant conviction. more

The animators have re-created equine movement and behavior with uncanny verisimilitude. more

The film is short at 82 minutes, but surprisingly moving, and has a couple of really thrilling sequences. more

A welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation. more

A poetic and lovely tale, told as a silent picture with music and narration. more

Those for whom Spirit was made will find this to be a thoroughly enjoyable production. As a "kids' movie", Spirit is a resounding success. more

Visually the film is a knockout. I'm not sure this will matter to the young adult audience, but the film is philosophically confusing. more

I took my 4 year old, and four 7 year olds to see this movie, and it made an impact on all of us. This movie is original. It is not Disney-ish and while I've appreciation for Disney, this movie did not have the "cutesy" factor of a Disney movie. Spirit captured my children's hearts and imaginations.

Isn't this what movies are for...to entertain our emotions? This movie... more

After watching this movie, I have got to say that this is truly a unique theatrical experience. This is one of the many movies I have been wanting to see for a very long time, and I wasn't dissapointed. The presentation of Spirit is something to hold on to. The Brilliant Score of Hans Zimmer, the Exceptional Songs of Bryan Adams and the Superb Narration from Matt Damon is very Dazzaling. I can't say nothing bad about this movie because there really isn't anything to say. For a 15 year old guy, like me, I was very Satisfied to see that Dreamworks also thought of the Adults, with the story... more

I went to see this film in sneak preview with my 8 year old cousin. I thought that it was incredible! It's the story of a wild stallion who's captured, first by US soldiers, and then by a young Native American... All through out though, Spirit's heart is with his herd, running the hills of the untamed west! Since the horses didn't speak in the film, except for narration by Matt Damon as the voice of Spirit, the horses facial expressions became central, so they had some really fun to watch "conversations". This movie had one of the most touching mother/son relationships since Bambi, in my... more
