My girls really love horses and couldn’t wait to watch Spirit Stallion of Cimarron that we were sent to review.
“ Join Spirit, a wild young mustang, as he sets out on an action-packed quest against impossible odds to regain his freedom and save his homeland. In his courageous and thrilling journey across the majestic wilderness of the American frontier, Spirit forms a remarkable friendship with a young Lakota brave, outwits a relentless squadron of soldiers, and falls for a beautiful paint mare named Rain.
Nominated for the Best Animated Feature Academy Award® in 2002 and featuring the voices of Matt Damon and James Cromwell, SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON boasts glorious traditional animation and a soaring, adventure-filled story that’s perfect for the entire family.
Blu-ray Combo: Experience this legendary tale in brilliant high definition for the first time ever! The Blu-ray + DVD pack includes filmmaker commentary, a drawing tutorial, and multiple behind-the-scenes featurettes.” (Spirit Press Packet)
” 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, acruel 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.” (Rotten Tomatoes.com)
