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.

Bias from nostalgia perhaps, but to me this is a perfect animated movie from start to finish. Animation, soundtrack, emotion, real world relevance 10/10. Still obsessed at the age of 32.

This was a fun movie again by DreamWorks! I really enjoyed the movie even though the horses were just neighing and didn’t talk much. The neighing got a little annoying towards the end, but I was glad that the animators made sure that we knew what emotions and thought the horses were conveying through their facial expressions and body language. I also admire the horse Spirit’s undying passion for freedom and independence. The characters were all endearing and well made, and I enjoyed each and every interaction! The love story was also fun to watch, though Rain’s departure from her previous lifestyle didn’t sit quite right with me. I understand that all horses in that movie loves to run free, but I think in an environment like Rain’s, coexisting with humans doesn’t seem like such a bad idea. I wished the film had a more nuanced opinion about free horses vs captive horses. But I loved the movie! DreamWorks magic is pretty amazing
