Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: I love this movie. I think it is one of the best kid movies I have ever seen. Has almost everything I am trying to teach my daughters. Such as the value of friendship & love, always be who you are and be true to yourself. It has very little violence. It also has great music. My 2 year old loves this movie. So do I.

Summary: Get into the "Spirit" of this great family movie
Review: I watched it with my three-year old daughter and was enthralled! Not only was the animation beautiful, and the music fantastic, it had an important message about how cruel humans can be to animals, and that a little kindness to an animal, can benifit both human and beast. Even though the indians used ropes and tried to ride Spirit, they were kind and loving to him,especially the boy, who understands his need for freedom, and eventually sets him free. One reviewer referred to this movie as "smaltz" which I strongly disagree. I don't know how a person that negative can like any animated movie. They aren't supposed to be entirely realistic. They are supposed to have strong characters, and teach valuable lessons about life. I feel sorry for that person. He/she misses the point entirely. And the first reviewer liked the movie, but said it was foolish and childish to like movies with talking animals. I disagree, they are again "make believe" and meant primarily for children. Adults can enjoy them too. They just have to be open-minded and let their inner child out. I never lost mine, and I'm not ashamed. But in the case of this movie, dialogue between the animals wasn't necessary, because their emotions were expressed so obviously through the context of the story, expressions and movements, not to mention, the lyrics of all those great Bryan Adams songs. Perhaps this would've worked with "The Lion King" and "Dinosaur" too, but that's just not the Disney style, and it doesn't make me like those movies any less. Those are both favorites in my home. You have to judge each movie on it's own merits, and not compare it to others. This is one great movie, and I plan to add it to my collection. Even very young children can sympathize with Spirit's plight, and admire his courage. Great job, Dreamworks. I also agree no sequel is necessary, but I don't think it would "ruin" this movie. It just wouldn't compare to the original. Sequels rarely do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: tears of happiness
Review: When the movie ended, my 12 yr old daughter turned to me and stated simply, "that was the first time I ever cried tears of joy"....we both cried, tears of joy AND sadness at this lovely animated picture.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: INCREDIBLE MOVIE!!!!
Review: 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. This movie took the children through a full spectrum of emotions. They were elated at Spirit's courage, angry about his treatment, sad when he was sad and Rain was injured, and again thrilled when he was finally free! Isn't this what movies are for...to entertain our emotions? This movie beautifully depicted strength and courage. The animation was phenomenal and the music...Bryan Adams, what more can I say!!! My four year old was deeply impacted by this movie. She says it changed her life. When she went to get shots, she told me, "I will not cry, I will be brave like Spirit" and she didn't shed a tear! I highly recommend this beautiful and unique movie to anyone who wants to see or have their children see a movie that covers a full spectrum of emotions and leaves you feeling uplifted!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A beautiful film
Review: I was absolutely ecstatic when this film came out since I have been raised around horses since I was a baby and to this day I absolutely adore them.
The thing I loved the most was how accurately they portrayed the horses; their interactions with one and another and humans. And this film is not meant to be 'politically correct'. During the Western era, people use to straddle the horses and literally break their 'spirit' in order to make them obey. Indians were the only ones who actually understand the complexity of horses and today many of their methods are used. That is portrayed really well during the film.
I would not reccomend this to young children but it is a fabulous film that shows the spirit in all of us.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This movie is ok
Review: This movie is not the best movie of all,but its ok.I'm not really into horses,so that may be why.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Ever!
Review: Spirit is the best movie ever! The animals may not talk, which is a great disppointment for some people, but you get to see what Spirit is seeing without the talking. I seriously think it's foolish and childish to watch and like movies where animals talk. But enough with the non-talking thing. The graphics in this movie were the best. Some things may not be realistic and I read a review where horses aren't smart enough to realize everything that was happening. Sure, horses may not be smart, but the do remember everything they are taught which is one thing most humans cannot do. Now, what can I say about the music? The best ever. Bryan Adams and Hans Zimmer really added to the movie with their songs. Get this movie when it comes out on VHS & DVD and get Lilo & Stitch if you're too childish for Spirit. I know I'll be getting it on both VHS and DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Horse Magic
Review: This is not a cartoon! Some of the scenes look like photographs, they are so realistic. The horses are beautiful, the music is wonderful, (I can't imagaine a better choice than Bryan Adams and the selections made!); this movie was thoroughly enjoyed by adults and children in our group. Everyone cried a little, but it was a good ending. If only our "real" wild horses could find this pot of gold at the end of their rainbows.
