Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002, VHS)

  A sweet animated movie but not a classic
Review created: 03/26/05
by: captaind-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
Kiddie-friendly entertainment, music score & songs.

Cons:
Strange mix of animation styles, unconvincing voice acting.

Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron is a charming eco-friendly anti-colonisation animated tale of the Wild West that wears its heart firmly on its sleeve. From the same studio that brought us Shrek, this is an animation the delights and disappoints in equal measure. Firstly, the storyline. This is pretty basic from-slave-to-freedom stuff, with a standard love interest and some nice period detail. A young stallion who becomes leader of the herd is taken by the nasty soldiers and must find a way to free himself, also becoming locked in a battle of wills with the Colonel, who is much nastier than...

  Asbury and Cook s SPIRIT, STALLION OF THE CIMARRON (2002)
Review created: 05/11/03
by: artbyjude -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
A great kids' movie, fantastic animation, and an anti-Disney way of looking at things, music

Cons:
Some of you claim to not be kids . NOT ME! Otherwise nothing

I am beginning to wonder what s up with American Audiences. Have we become such drones that we can t appreciate the wonder of our world, and GET the message of this beautiful little film? Not one of those movies that had 40 million behind the Advertising campaign, this is nevertheless, in my opinion, the best animated feature to be made in America last year. Don t get me wrong. I liked TREASURE PLANET, despite its flaws. I loved THE ICE AGE , haven t seen LILO AND STITCH -and I still think Miyazaki s film SPIRITED AWAY earned the Oscar. But SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON could have been...

  Spirit Stallion of Cimarron- Check for your flotation device and barf bag.

Pros:
Good colors.

Cons:
Narrow world view. Over-the-top in many places.

They must have a lot of white guys working over at Dreamworks (-: Now, I don t have a problem with white guys. My two boys would fall under that category for the most part, but I sure hope my boys would have a bigger view of the world than what was portrayed in Stallion of the Cimarron. The story is no-brainer overall . . . you have a horse named Spirit who lives out in the wild like native people. White men come in with railroad dreams, and they muck up the world or try to. The white men capture Native Americans like Little Creek and horses including Spirit, and they attempt to tame these..

  Mostly Silent Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron More For Adults Than Kids
Review created: 03/25/08
by: bilbopooh -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
gorgeous animation, eco-friendly

Cons:
too heavy-handed and dark

A while back, a friend sent me a link to a YouTube video in which someone had set clips of the Dreamworks movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron to the tune of John Denver s Eagles and Horses. The glorious animation of a horse joyously racing an eagle fit perfectly with Denver s stirring ode to freedom, and the video reminded me how much I wanted to see the 2002 film. Spirit finally arrived last week, and I remain impressed by the gorgeous artwork, especially the vast expanses of untouched landscapes of the Old West. It s a beautiful film to look at, and this story of one horse s struggle to..

  If This Was Disney - The Horses Would Talk Thankfully It Is Not!
Review created: 12/08/02
by: lynus -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Freedom and spirit rules.

Cons:
Bryan Adams.

My fianc e said to me I always cry during Disney movies . Well guess what I told her, this is not a Disney movie! And yet better I tell you, is that it has the same charm and same emotional attachment that the great Disney movies had but this is a Dreamworks presentation. A company that with Spirit makes it mark that great animation movies don t have to have animals talking or annoying sidekicks, to be enjoyable for adults and kids alike. There are quite a few things to like about Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and quite a few things to dislike. Let s start with the dislike. First, I don t..
