Screenwriter John Fusco returns to the Western themes of his previous films Young Guns and Thunderheart with this animated children's adventure from Dreamworks. Matt Damon supplies the voice of Spirit, a wild Mustang stallion living free in the Old West of the late 19th century, where he's captured by human horse traders and sold to a cavalry regiment at a frontier outpost. There, a cruel colonel (voice of James Cromwell) nearly succeeds in breaking the willful horse, but not quite. Spirit escapes in the company of another captive, Little Creek (voice of Daniel Studi), a Native American youth that tries to possess the magnificent animal by more humane means, but Spirit refuses to bend to human will even when he makes the acquaintance of Little Creek's beautiful and fiercely loyal mare, Rain. After he saves Little Creek's life in an Army raid, Spirit believes that the gravely injured Rain has perished after a tumble over a waterfall. Despondent, the horse is captured again by humans, enslaved this time for work in a pack team on the transcontinental railroad. Undaunted by the tragedies that befall him, Spirit manages to escape for a reunion with Little Creek, Rain, and his long-lost brethren. Featuring songs by rock singer Bryan Adams, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron departs from other examples of its genre in that the horse protagonists do not speak or sing, only Spirit's voice is heard as voice-over narration.

This movie has been an all-time favorite for my mother and I. Its more of an animated movie targeted to older kids and adults. I don't think younger children would understand it that well. This movie was great. Throughout this movie you are seeing life from the POV of a rambunctious horse. There are some funny parts, but also intense and touching scenes. I believe this would be a great movie to watch with your family.

I love this movie and the music in it. It makes you really connect to the movie. They should think about making a sequel . I could watch this movie all day. One of my favorite things about spirit is that he will do anything to protect his loved ones even if it puts him in danger. I think that makes a true, courageous horse. Me and my sister love this movie. I have enjoyed this movie since I was about two years old, and still enjoy it now that I am ten. A must have!

Unlike most cartoons, the horses don't talk. Nonverbal communication is clear for animals and people. Spirit acts like a real horse. Hidalgo is similar in the loyalty and courage of mustangs but non child audience. Color and animation great. Moving.
