for anyone that love predictable movie with an awful soundtrack and lack of dialogue and clichés up the wazoo and and also stereotype that just happen to be typical of an american film and look no farther . dreamworks whether want to save money on acquire voice talent and or really want to create an animated episode of national geographic while either way and they succeed in deliver a rather bland and boring movie . spirit represent stallion of the cimarron be a bore fest that send mixed signal to kid and adult and and also fail to entertain despite the oh so cutesy theme of animal triumph over human . after look past the wonderful animation and what you have remain be nothing but a big mess . spirit be about a stallion that from the beginning of the film look like quite a handful and a he be a horse that can not be tame and calm and nor control . because of this and he rise and become the leader of his group of high spirited horse and which include his mom . but and his life of freedom and run around come to an abrupt halt a he be capture by a group of american in the process of connect the wild west with the rest of the country . during this and spirit ( never actually name that throughout the entire film almost ) befriend a courageous native american and and a fellow female horse and and also have a lot of run in with the cynical and cruel army folk that apparently do not believe in give up . why must movie mix computer animation with traditional . it come off look rather mesh and something spirit away suffer from as well . best example be when a train be chase after spirit while you see the hand drawn spirit run from a computer animate train . it would look much good if it be one or the other and but not both while unless you can really pull off some nice effect . beauty and the beast famous dance sequence use computer animation and but it be nowhere near as obvious a the train or the snow in this movie . the opening sequence be the best look part of the film and kind of sad to see the rest of the movie slide a bit downhill in term of quality . a little scene have multiple while i mean multiple similar shot of just a general face and quite repetitive and annoy in my opinion . the kid might enjoy this flick and but with lack of dialog and song and and motivation and it might be a perfect technique in make hyper child fall asleep . while disney becomes criticize for it animated musical and they wind up become much more entertaining than a more realistic approach to tell a story like this one . bryan adam have no place in this movie and and why do han zimmer stay away from use a western theme in this movie and when it be a story take place in the old west . soundtrack sound a bit off if you ask me . at least they be use realistic noise of horse and two point for that . yet and if you be go to refrain from make horse talk and why even have a narrator interrupt every so often and which just so happen to be the main character himself . native american be nice and and the western folk be evil and native killing and horse torturing and rowdy and psychopathic monster that must be destroy . more or less and this be what spirit be show u . it reach a point in which they be try so hard for the viewer to hate the traveler of the wild west while they even have a scene of several horse pull a huge train up a hill and and another scene of them destroy an entire village of native . now and the person spirit befriend happen to betray him and on more than one occasion and yet that be forgivable and apparently because he be not a soldier while that or because he have the sassy female horse . spirit isn not exactly a victim we should feel sorry for while the viewer be suppose to sympathize with spirit despite him put his entire group of horse at risk and wreak havoc and and even perhaps result in some off screen death that be quickly shove aside because oh no and spirit be in trouble . this film get quite rhythmic and a we see in multiple instance spirit escape from chain and kick people around and destroy property and freeing horse and and then get capture again all in this same order too . the writer also seem to have an obsession with cliff because they be sprinkle all over the movie while for an old west film and they certainly have very little room to roam . bottom line represent this be most certainly no disney movie and a a matter of fact that be a bad thing and even though it be what they be aim for . so and instead of the typical musical and we get a boring film that become predictable and dull and slow in multiple instance . even the decent animation becomes inconsistent when the computer work get throw in . everything about this movie be just wrong while from the ideal that back then american that be not native be evil buffoon and to the soundtrack and musical score that just seem so far off . kill bill vol . 2 and which pretty much have nothing to do with the old west and have more of a western feel than this movie . do yourselves a favor and totally skip this by all mean necessary . thank you .
