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:  - Deserves 1 star. and 5 stars
After reading the other amazon reviews, posted as 1 star, you notice a lot of these people are right. This movie has A LOT of violence in it! Horse abuse, guns, fires etc..
I am an animal rights activist, and love this movie, it really does show how horses are treated in some areas, but some people get the impression that white people are all bad, and the Indian isen't. Well...its just a movie, dont get offended. The movie should be rated PG in other words too. I have a sister who was ... Read More
Rating: - Great movie, great soundtrack
My daughter loves this movie, and I agree with her. It has minimal talking, which is unique, a great storyline and a beautiful soundtrack that Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams crafted together. I recommend this to any horse-lover, and anyone who can appreciate a good, strong-spirited movie.
Rating:  - Horse crazy
I bought this as a gift for my grandaughter who is horse crazy. She has seen it at least 50 times, but watches it from start to finish as though it were the first viewing. It is a good child's story.
Rating: - 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, and ... Read More
Rating: - Great horse adventure
Excellent never-give-up story. My son loves horses but the princess horse movies bore him. This has great adventure, he loves it.
