Summary: Give me a break!
Review: When this movie came out in theatres I thought, wow, I'll probably love this movie since I'm "horse crazy". Then when I saw it I said to myself, "Give me a break"! It might not be as bad as The Lion King but it's pretty bad. Would they make up their minds already? First the horse is happy, then sad, happy, then sad, and so on. The horse having a voice was pretty wierd too but it was ok because that way you could know what he was thinking and also little kids might enjoy that. And the whole story is so boring! I do not recommend this movie for children or adults. Nori from USA

Summary: This is a Dreamworks picture
Review: I don't remember the last animated movie I saw that had no animals talking. This movie is diffrent from all the other animated movies. But if you want an amimated movie that is diffrent, I this would be the one for you. This movie is a like a real life story, even if its not based on a true story. In real life, animals don't sing, talk or dance. This is a story of a wild horse named Spirit. Plus you have 15 songs in this movie pefromed by Bryan Adams, which includes a duet he does that plays over the end credits. As the movie opens, a colt is born, and it grows into a horse named Spirit (I guess). The movie is narratored by Matt Damon. When Spirit is older, a army comes to his home land and captures him and takes him to a ranch, where he is tired by an soldier to ride him, which lands him tied to a post, where his ordered not to have food or water for 3 days. Wthere is noticed by a another prisoner named Little Creek (Daniel Studi). Is there a problem if the animals in this movie don't talk?

Summary: Beautifully drawn
Review: In 30 words or less...A great adventure story. Horses are beautifully drawn. All the situations Spirit gets into become a bit repetitive. 1 song too many in the soundtrack. Good family film.

Summary: great movie, with a problem
Review: This movie is fun to watch and keeps our four-year old daughter enthralled. However, she has also become horse-obsessed. She wears a horse outfit around the house. When we go to a museum, she only looks at pictures of horses. And the horse in this movie is badly behaved -- kicking a great number of people, and several get kicked in the face. Our daughter is always lining up people to kick in the face. I have myself been kicked about fifty times due to this video and haven't appreciated it. I've spoken to her many times about this only being a story, and that the people the horse kicks are bad, while we are her family, but then she just says I'm a wild horse! I'm a wild horse! For people who are trying in some sense to tame their children this video offers a bad example. I'm thinking seriously of banning it in our house. Is violence a good answer to teach to children? That's what this video teaches. It's extremely violent, and justifies this by showing that violence is only an answer to the greater violence of the soldiers, etc. I would recommend that people stick with The Wiggles, Pooh Bear, etc.

Summary: A Heart-Warming Classic
Review: I saw this movie with my daughters (ages ten and twelve) and found myself every bit as involved in the story as they were. The animation is truly awesome -- from the opening sequences showing a bird soaring through the Grand Canyon to the very last scene. The characters in this story are easy to care about, even though the horses never speak in words. Instead, the lyrics of the songs give voice to the thoughts and feelings of Spirit as he finds himself on a long journey in the days of the American "wild west." I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves horses, or just enjoys excellent animation. It's truly a first-rate film in every respect, and I give SPIRIT my highest recommendation! -- Cynthia Sue Larson

Summary: An excellent movie!
Review: I love this movie because it is one of the best animated features about animals that I have ever seen- I can compare it to Disney's THE LIONN KING. The animation incorporates 2D characters into a 3D background and surroundings, which is an amazing effect. The grass and water look very realistic, and the animation of the horses is excellent. It is stunning. The music is also very inspirational- the lyrics to the songs are what Spirit is thinking. My 2 year old nephew has to have the "horse movie" on at all times, so it must be good for children. It is about a horse named Spirit who only wants to be free from his oppressors. You will love this movie.

Summary: Rent it first
Review: I couldn't wait to see this movie because I'm a horse lover and the previews looked great but, I am so glad that I waited for the video. I only wish I had rented it instead of buying it. My 3 year old lost interest in this movie after the first 15 minutes. As soon as he saw that these animals weren't going to speak or make him laugh, he moved to another room to watch Dragon Tales. While I agree with other opinions that the quality of the animation is excellent, I don't see how a small child could possibly follow this movie unless they have a VERY CLEAR understanding and bright vocabulary of facial expressions and body language. I understand the opinions of some reviewers when they stated that it was refreshing and more emotional to see the animals communicate non-verbally. I personally enjoyed watching it (once) BUT, I definatley wasn't intrigued enough to "pop it in" since. Frankly, I was shocked to see all the positive reviews. It's sold at local video stores in my area for an average of 6 dollars because they weren't moving off the shelves.

Summary: so so!
Review: Ok, here are the bad things about this movie: *here is a typical conversation when the horses talk,"Whinny!" "Neigh." " *trot* Neigh!!". They could at least make it so the horses spoke in english when no one else was around. *The men are torturing the horse. That is cruel. and some people say it's bad, not because they are purposely torturing it, but because the WHITE people are torturing it. How good it feels not to be 100% american. They must be awfully dumb! (my mom is half irish, Dad half mexican, so i'm a quarter each.) Oh dear!the white men look bad! as if starting a world war is not bad, but making a kiddie film (that is completly realistic/non-fiction)about how bad white men are is. Go figure. * songs get irrating sometimes. The first song "Here I Am",would be gorgeous,but It sounds like the singer got a bad cold. Ick. * purposely tortuing indian. GEEZ, what next!? Good things: * beautiful animation. Stunning. * a bit of a tear jerker, something you rarly see now in animated films. * nice narration. * YOUNG SPIRIT IS SO CUTE!!!!! Over all, this movie is so-so, I 'll rent it as soon as I go back to the video store.

Summary: A Brilliant movie
Review: I love this movie. It's about a Native American named Little Creek and a wild mustang named Spirit who are captured by the U.S. Cavalry. Little Creek escapes and rescues Spirit. He takes Spirit back to his village where he meets a beautiful painted mare named Rain. Then the U.S. Cavalry comes to the village and destroys their homes. I recommend this movie for all ages and to anyone who likes horses.

Summary: GREAT kids movie!
Review: Well, I liked it to! I initially saw this at the theater and didn't think that my children would like it because it was a lot of voice over, but they LOVED it! (They were, at the time, 9 and 5.) A great story about a horse who just wants to be free and live wild and an Indian with the same desires. It shows the bonding relationship between the horse and the Indian with their understanding of each other. A must see!!
