kaylyn820 When this movie came out, I was 5 years old. When I first saw it I fell in love and used to watch it on repeat for days. There are so many great things about this movie, but I'm going to talk about my three favorite aspects, the music, the animation, and the story. When you put two brilliant musical geniuses into a room you know you are going to get an amazing soundtrack. That's definitely the case with the Spirit soundtrack. Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams use their music to tell a story and they do it brilliantly. These songs will make you feel empowered, make you sad, and all around leave you mesmerized by the beautiful scoring and lyrics. Next is the animation. Now I am no animation expert, but I can tell the difference between good and bad, and the animation in Spirit is absolutely gorgeous. You're introduced to it right off the bat, when you see the eagle soaring through the canyons. The scenery is so realistic, it almost feels like it's not animated. Another important detail when it comes to the animation is the facial expressions. Since this story has very little dialogue the use of facial expressions is very important so the viewer can understand what the characters are feeling. The attention to detail is stunning.And last, but not least, the story. It's timeless and has heart, just like Spirit himself. It tells of love and sacrifice, strength and hope, while being child friendly at the same time. Anybody at any age can relate to something in this movie and that's rare in movies, especially an animated one. It is a rare movie itself and goes against what was normal for animated movies. Disney has amazing films, but I don't think any could compare to this masterpiece.

petervoicu OK,,how do i start? this is the most beautiful, touching, uplifting sensitive animation i have ever seen in my life.i had tears rolling down my cheecks, but not of sadness but of awe. i am 37 years old now, but watching this a felt again a little boy that open wide his eyes and is mesmerized by what he sees. the music of phil collins is a heaven's touch. guys and galls, you cant possibly miss this. you need to see it. not by yourself, but with your children.show them what real beauty is.show them that no matter what, they can accomplish what they set their mind to it,,that the only limitations that they have is only in their mind.. i saw it 6 times already,,and every single time, i was touched by it, and when it ended, i sighed.. i did not wanted this to end! thats how beautiful this is!

Raymond Karago Yeah, this is one of the most unique animated films of all time for one reason. The animals don't talk. With that kind of a concept in a children's animated film, in theory it should have been dead on arrival. And, yet, kind of like a Miyazaki film, it just sort of works.The film just has a sort of charm to it, and the best bit of the film is the animation. This is some of the best 2D animation that has ever been made. Horses do not have very expressive faces, yet they get so much emotions into these animals' eyes that its almost like they are talking. You also get caught up in the landscapes, its a real throwback to the old west, I for one am a fan of large open wild spaces and its always nice to look at if it has been animated well.The film is not completely without dialog, you see the humans communicating from time to time, but its mostly done from the point of view of the horses, which is clever, so you get some useful exposition but never lose focus on who the main characters are. Spirit's thoughts are told by a well read narration by Matt Damon, which is a random choice but well read none the less. The music also speaks, Bryan Adams writes some great songs that are kind of like the Phill Collins songs from Tarzan (1999) and I can see people not liking them, but I liked them fine.I can't find much wrong with the film, it is a little slow and I can imagine kids being bored by the film. Overall, Spirit, is a great film with great characters and stunning animation told in a unique way.
