Spirit - Il ribelle

There was no reason to include Spirit in this. It's just another basic horse girl movie. Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron was a story about a horse who could not be tamed, a movie that highlighted the negative impact that colonization had on the natives. This movie has none of the original themes, except for the buckskin stallion named Spirit. I don't care that the creators have said that it's a descendant of Spirit. Show the new generation the original and teach them about the cultural genocide this country committed. Or you can show them this movie of friendship and the bond with animals, even if there are hundreds of other movies with the same theme.

In conclusion, this is just another basic horse girl movie. Might as well just be the Disney+ Black Beauty.

A young girl lost her mother years earlier in a horse riding accident. When that happened she was sent to the city to be raised by her aunt and granddad, a big-time politician. However being too precocious for the city life at about 11 or 12 she and her aunt travel by train to reunite with her dad. Along the way the girl sees a family of wild horses running alongside and behind the train.

Later in the rustic town the girl is reunited with the horses as thieves try to capture them. With a lot of patience and persistence the girl finally gets the one horse, she names it Spirit, to accept her. From there they get involved in unbelievable adventures along with two other young girls and their horses. In the end they have to go on an unauthorized adventure to help capture the crooks.

The animation is very pleasant and the voice acting appropriate. A nicely enjoyable lightweight animated movie. I don't understand the several very harsh reviews, it is just a pleasant movie.

At home on DVD from my public library, my wife was on the golf course experiencing her own unique adventure.

Really disappointing movie. It was just bad. Everything about it was bad.

I don't understand why this studio had to remove and basically change the original story of Spirit. And to complete remove Native Americans and downgrade the story is not okay.

The story is really annoying. The girl is oppositional, bordering on delinquent, that I really disliked her to the point that I wanted her to fail. That's my reason for finishing the film. I didn't like it at all.
