Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Horse lovers young and old will celebrate this utterly enjoyable and marvelous-looking animated film. The titular stallion runs free in the Cimarron (New Mexico) wilderness until a series of men try to master the proud horse, leading to adventures through a U.S. Cavalry fort, Native American settlements, and a railroad camp. Despite a heavy dose of political correctness and realism (the animals don't talk; we only hear Spirit's internal monologue, voiced by Matt Damon), directors Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook give their hero many only-in-a-movie moments, including an action sequence rivaling any of Rambo's escapes. The stirring mix of 2-D and 3-D animation is absolutely stunning and aptly fueled by composer Hans Zimmer's synthesized score. The film earns one demerit for '80s rocker Bryan Adams's abundant songs--a different singer could have brought more to the film. Rated G but there is some rough treatment of horses shown, so nix the sensitive preschoolers. --Doug Thomas

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great, thought-provoking, feel-good movie
I decided to order Spirit pretty randomly. I remembered enjoying it when I was younger and admired the production and the artwork.

The DVD itself has a fun, interactive menu and of course the movie is every bit as fun and inspirational as it was when I first watched it all those years ago. I would highly recommend it for girls 4-14 and believe boys could enjoy it, to a lesser extent, from 4-7 or so. Of course, if you're a fan of horses, you'll enjoy this movie at just about any age, ... Read More

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - One-dimensional.
It has a simplistic storyline with one-dimensional characters. It is difficult to extract a clear moral value or message other than the horses are very-good and the people are very-bad. Perhaps it has entertaining value to small kids.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - True SPIRIT
This movie captured my sons attention from beginning to end. Spirit is a horse that refuses to be broken. The music is wonderful; I even bought the soundtrack.
