    Movie synopsis

    SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON is a refreshingly old-fashioned and gentle tale of a mustang stallion struggling to remain free in the old West. The film is a seamless blend of traditional hand-drawn and computer-generated animation. Opening with an impressive bird's eye pan of the Grand Canyon, from the viewpoint of an eagle, SPIRIT captures the unspoiled beauty of the land. The animals in this particular animated film do not talk, and Matt Damon provides effective, sparse narration from the perspective of Spirit, an adventurous young stallion who is captured by the U.S. Army. But Spirit will not let the soldiers saddle and ride him. An authoritarian colonel (voiced by James Cromwell) is determined to break Spirit, at one point starving the horse to weaken him. A Lakota prisoner, Little Creek (voiced by Daniel Studi) is impressed with the horse, and helps him to escape. Little Creek can't break the horse either. But the two learn to respect each other, and Spirit meets Rain, Little Creek's horse, and falls in love. The score was written by Hans Zimmer, and Bryan Adams wrote and performed the sweet, simple songs on the soundtrack. SPIRIT is a great-looking and lovingly crafted children's film.

    Spirit: A show any small "horselover" will adore

    Created: 02/03/08
    To sum it up, if you have horses or just a child who loves them.. THIS IS the movie for your little one! We have horses, and this is a move about a Mustang and his challenges to fit into the Wild West, also of course inhabited by many other animals, horses and of course humans in the form of the U.S. Army also staking claim to the wild west. Believe it or not, a growing up type love story for the wild mustang who learns to branch out, find love and make friends along the way. Narrated by Matt Damon, its easy to follow from the day the young Mustang is born to the end of all his trials and tribulations. The LONE part of the movie that I don't agree with is a simple "gun shot" which startles a horse and its rider into the water, then over a waterfall! Just a little much for the little ones, but its pretty tame since the shot doesn't actually HIT anyone :-) My 3 year old daughter will watch this movie over and over and over and over if we'd let her :-)

    The DVD was in great condition and had really neat bonus features we didn't expect. Great if your kids like to learn how to draw the characters in the film. The story line portrays the settling of the west from the perspective of the horse and the relationship he is forced to develop with a Native American in order to protect his home and survive. Portrays western expansion of the 18th and 19th century more accurately and contrasts system and order with the liberty of the spirit. Living in the west myself, I definately wanted my children to be exposed to a less traditional portrayal of American history, and be forced to consider from a different vantage point whether the west was really won or lost. Great family film I highly recommend!!!

    Great Movie! Watch out for COPIES on ebay!

    Created: 05/10/08
    We love this movie as it shows the progression of life on the frontier from the eyes of a wild horse. It is a great movie to show how life changed and the affect the settlers had on the environment, wildlife and native americans.

    Be aware, this movie does show some violence, i.e. chains, breaking and whips on the horse; attitude and violence toward the native americans from the frontier calvery.

    We bought this movie to compliment our collection for our car dvd player, unfortunately the movie we bought on ebay was a COPY! It only works in our cheap home dvd play intermittenly, says BAD DISK most the time, and doesn't work at all in our car dvd player.

    We wound up buying a genuine Disney dvd and noticed the original had laser writing on the plastic center ring that was not on the ebay purchase.

    This is a wild west history lesson from the heart and voice of the horse.

    Created: 23/04/11
    This movie about a wild horse was very interesting.
    It is animated, but the horses don't talk per say, it is narrated, from the horses perspective.

    The expressions that is on the horses faces tell most of the story.

    Very good film for young and old alike.

    A Stallion with spirit!

    Created: 20/10/10
    This is a great movie with excellent nature scenery, good music, and a nice basic plot and enjoyable music and some laughs. While the stallion does not speak (which is good) the horse's thoughts are narrated by Matt Damon. It is a good family movie with no objectionable language or content -- though there are some scenes which might be too intense for the very young ones.
