Critics Consensus

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

What truly sets "Spirit" apart, however, is its unique storytelling approach. With minimal dialogue and a focus on visual storytelling, the film allows the breathtaking animation and emotive score to speak for themselves. It's a testament to the power of cinema to evoke emotion and transport viewers to another world. In the end, "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences of all ages. It's a film that reminds us of the beauty and majesty of the natural world, and the importance of courage, friendship, and freedom. And for me, it will always hold a special place in my heart as a cherished childhood favorite.

While not as invigorating and stirring as it thinks it is, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron does boast some beautiful animation.

One of the movies of my youth, and whitout a doubt an absolute classic. Rewatchting this movie still gives me such an epic feeling. I'm definitely not a horses guy but this piece of art is such a masterpiece. Beautifull music, stunning visuals and a gripping story. I highly recommend this great work!

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.

Cinema Crazed

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.
