Advantages: a good film for the whole family

Disadvantages: adults may not enjoy as much as children

This animation is a fantastic story following a wild stallion through triumphs, love and being kept away from loved ones. Children will adore this film as well as old generations - as I do! A great plot which flows nicely throughout, not going into a vast amount of detail and yet not just skimming over parts either. The soundtrack by Bryan Adams for this film is superb and with Matt Damon narrating for Spirit, they get the balance just right so you feel connected to, not only the story but the characters too. Curiosity and the instinct to protect his herd, Spirit goes to look at something strange in the distance only to get himself caught and having the attempts to break him to become a horse in an army. Escaping after a while only to find himself, in his view, trapped again. But falling in love and being set free to go only causes heartache. If things couldn't get worse Spirit is caught once again. Watching the film you just don't know what is going to happen which will keep children occupied wanting to know what is going to happen. Overall it is a great film to be enjoyed by all.

Summary: a good film for the whole family where no concentration is really needed
