'if you can't catch a wave then you're never going to ride it'

The only rival to Bambi.

Simple, pure, beautiful story, a poetic portrayal, of the meaning of `spirit.'

Wild horse, leader of a herd, separated from its mother in its defense, but who, never giving up, escapes its captors and returns home with a mate.

Visually beautiful animation combining hand drawn characters with computer generated backgrounds. Masterfully expressive movements, effectively combining the natural body language of horses with human facial expressions. Sacrifices nothing either to the ideology of having computers do everything or to the ideology of having computers do nothing; it lets the artists' eyes be the judge-and with no meager result. It sets the standard for all future animation.

Though the horses do not speak, story line is meaningfully enhanced by contrasting the culture of western expansionists with the culture of the Lakota Sioux; shows the treatment of the horse in the different cultures. Cavalry Colonel was going to shoot Spirit after failing to tame it; Lakota brave sets Spirit free after the same failure. Treats of the conflict respectfully, not making the Lakota out to be "savages"--neither base nor "noble." Spirit lets the Lakota brave ride him in an exceptional moment during a common struggle; the Colonel, witnessing this, learns to respect both and sets both free--though giving no indication that he intends to quit the Cavalry. The horse in the end simply transcends both cultures as it returns to its home, where--as it was explained in the beginning--the wild horses knew no "separation between earth and sky."

Incredibly beautiful. While the music was not per se my favorite variety, it all but makes me a fan of the genre; the lyrics are very meaningful and it is remarkably well blended into the story on multiple levels--having the right balance between humor, sorrow--and joy.

A few memorable lines from the lyrics:

`remember who you are'

`can't come uninvited'

`it's to you that I will always return...'

The Best Western Film Ever!

Without a doubt, "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" is one of the most riveting western movies ever to hit the big screen--and one of the most gorgeous and impressive films in the history of animation. I've always loved horses, and I've always loved art and good music, and this movie provides a superior combination of all three. The landscapes are breathtaking, the way the horses are animated is excellent, and the music is simply amazing. Hans Zimmer is an outstanding composer, and Bryan Adams helps bring the story of Spirit alive with his deliciously raspy singing voice. Throughout the entire film, you are kept directly on the edge of your seat; there is not a single dull moment to be found, from the beginning all the way to the end. I recommend this movie to people of any age.
