00s Movie Review - Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Director: Kelly Asbury, Lorna Cook
Genre: Animation/ Family/ Adventure/ Drama
Runtime: 83 minutes
Year: 2002
Starring: Matt Damon, James Cromwell, Daniel Studi, Chopper Bernet, Jeff LeBeau, John Rubano, Matthew Levin, Adam Paul

Description: A wild stallion is captured by humans and slowly loses the will to resist training, yet, throughout his struggles for freedom, the stallion refuses to let go the hope of one day returning to his herd.

Review: The untamable young stallion Spirit comes into contact with something he has never encountered before in his early life: mankind. From that moment on an adventure unfolds.
Spirit is captured by an army, but he doesn’t let anyone ride or tame him. Not even by a veteran Colonel, who wants to make an army horse out of him. Together with Indian Lakota, Spirit manages to escape.
Unlike most animation with animals in the lead, in “Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron” the animals don’t speak. The film is narrated by Matt Damon, he speaks as Spirit. This is all accompanied by a beautiful score by Hans Zimmer and soundtrack sung by Bryan Adams. Together it makes for a gorgeous looking animation.

Rating: 4 / 5
