DVD Reviews of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (Full Screen Edition) [Animated]DVD Review: So Breathtaking Your Spirit Will Be On A Journey Summary: 5 Stars
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron was one of those movies that left you amazed. This movie has beautiful animation, trasporting you to the beauty of America's Old West. The music captures the emotions of the scenes, and this movie is very powerful. This movie starts out as when Spirit is born. Year later he grows into a fine stallion and Mustang. He is now the leader of his herd, the Cimarron. Here he runs free, running with the eagle, feeling like he can fly. There is nothing but freedom and happiness, something we all want for our world. Yet one night, Spirit stumbles upon humans at their camp, and his adventure begins. He is taken captive by the US Army stationed in the West, for this was the time the railroad was being built in America. Here he learns the pain, hardship, and sorrow of not being free. He is away from his loving herd and mother, now with these creatures he doesn't trust. He sees what captured horses are turned into, and he asks help from them. They want to help, but they seem to have no hope and strength. Yet, Spirit won't give up on getting his freedom back. He has something in him that rekindles himself, and he turns into the wild Mustang he is. No matter how many times men try to break him, each one flying off. Of course, this entertains the horses. But, the head of the Army in the West ties him to the post, and here Spirit meets someone. A Lakota Native American, Little Creek, is captured as well, and he is too enchanted by the appearence of Spirit. Someway somehow he gets free, with the help of Little Creek. Spirit does wonder, why this one helped him and isn't cruel like the others? Little Creek whistles up other members of his Lakota tribe, and Spirit meets someone else. It's Little Creek's horse, Rain, a beautiful painted mare. For a couple more days Spirit stays with Rain, and she teaches him trust, love, and kindness in man. Spirit now seems changed in his thinking of man, and learns of Rain's way of life. But at one point Little Creek knows no one will ride Spirit, and lets him go. But Spirit is torn between his freedom and Rain, who he seems now to love. He wants Rain to join him, but she is still loyal to Little Creek. Spirit now wants to show her his homeland and way of life, which she accepts. But now that is shattered, for the US Army sieges the Lakota tribe of Little Creek. Both horses rush to save Little Creek, and this part is heartwrenching. With Little Creek on her back, Rain is injured by a gunshot, splashing in the raging rapids of the water. Little Creek is about to be shot as well, but Spirit saves him by knocking down the man with the gun, the leader of the US Army. Spirit jumps in to save Rain, and both fall down the waterfall. Rain is still hurt, in pain by her wound. Spirit never wants to leave her, but is taken away by members of the Army. Little Creek now knows he has to repay Spirit for what he did. Now Spirit seems to think he will never be free, now in a train with other captured horses. They look to him with hopeful faces, thinking Spirit will save them again. But they see Spirit's expression, now thinking too all hope is gone. But now again Spirit frees horses, including himself. He and other horses were pulling up a part of the train, but now getting his Mustang spirit back in him, which led to this freedom. Little Creek now rescues Spirit from dying in flames, and returns him to his tribe. Yet now Spirit is sad, for he thinks Rain is dead. But out of the smoke of a small fire, a painted mare with a feather in her mane steps out, tall and beautiful. Rain and Spirit have a joyous reunion, but now Little Creek decided to let his two friends go. Little Creek says to Spirit after bidding farewell to his trusted horse Rain, "Goodbye Spirit, One Who Could Not Be Broken." Now both are free, and Spirit is reunited with his herd and mother. Spirit will truly never forget Little Creek and how he learned to trust, love, and enjoy life. Now Spirit is free, ready to fly with his friend the eagle, and to soar through on his wings.

Description of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (Full Screen Edition) [Animated]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 a lakota brave. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 02/14/2006 Starring: Narrated By Matt Damon Run time: 83 minutes Rating: G Director: Kelly Asbury/lorna Cook Horse lovers young and old will celebrate this utterly enjoyable and marvelous-looking animated film. The titular stallion runs free in the Cimarron (New Mexico) wilderness until a series of men try to master the proud horse, leading to adventures through a U.S. Cavalry fort, Native American settlements, and a railroad camp. Despite a heavy dose of political correctness and realism (the animals don't talk; we only hear Spirit's internal monologue, voiced by Matt Damon), directors Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook give their hero many only-in-a-movie moments, including an action sequence rivaling any of Rambo's escapes. The stirring mix of 2-D and 3-D animation is absolutely stunning and aptly fueled by composer Hans Zimmer's synthesized score. The film earns one demerit for '80s rocker Bryan Adams's abundant songs--a different singer could have brought more to the film. Rated G but there is some rough treatment of horses shown, so nix the sensitive preschoolers. --Doug Thomas
