Critics Consensus

A visually stunning film that may be too predictable and politically correct for adults, but should serve children well.

There's nothing thrilling or new about the work here, but accomplished it is.

Spirit is smarter than your average cartoon because it doesn't try to joke around with a host of annoying talking animals.

The stunning 2D animation let's nature tell it's own story without any tropes of current animation.

When the movie wants to look majestic, the colors truly emanate, but when it wants to look grim, it can look very grim and moody; I was breath taken.

It's not for me. I barely watched it back then. I don't even have a favorite character or like anything about it.

A visually stunning film with a very real message. The soundtrack is fantastic and me and my daughter were blown away by it. We have watched this film time and time again as she has grown up, and with every year, there are new aspects she discovers to be in awe of. She is still very young, but one day, the message in the movie will hit her as it did me and I know she will grow to love it even more. I cannot fathom why this film hasn't got more 5* reviews - in my opinion it deserves far more. It isn't your standard annoying, silly kids cartoon. This film has depth, meaning and beauty, and while it is so deeply moving, there are elements of cheekiness that bring a smile to your face.

È un bel film senza dubbio, visivamente molto bello, ma anche se dovrebbe essere da bambini si concentra troppo sul politically correct, che per quanto non sia sbagliato, il pubblico più piccolo non lo comprende

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Um dos meus filmes favoritos da infância! Músicas nostálgicas com Paulo Ricardo, momentos memoráveis como o início dele correndo com a águia, etc. Amo como uma temática simples fez um memorável filme!
