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.
An exciting and exquisitely rendered film in which the horse goes through as many adventures and perils as Indiana Jones on a good day.
A welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation.
As animation increasingly emphasizes the computer and the cool, this is a film that takes a stand in favor of tradition and warmth.
The movie's big action scenes ... make you forget you're even watching animation.
Many kids will like this mustang tale.
This is an original, enjoyable and sweet movie that will please adults and kids alike...
Spirit: Stallion Of the Cimmaron, which and is technically Dreamworks' first animated film since the monster CGI hit Shrek, as a hand-drawn film has quite a bit to live up to, but succeeds admirably at finding the heart that is often missing from technica
Gorgeous and plenty exciting, but overcooked with corny narration and an endless barrage of Bryan Adams songs telling us how to feel at every moment.
There's not much of a story, the whole thing's a bit superficial, and there's little to laugh at, but it's still a refreshing change from the norm.
There are genuine moments of beauty in Spirit -- visually and emotionally speaking -- but ultimately they aren't worth the price of suffering through the extraneous material that too often sullies the picture.
A welcome, entertaining, and fun ride.
...[a] genuinely thrilling movie that's appropriate for all ages.
It dares to do things a bit differently, and it does them generally quite well.
A worthy, if dull addition to the studio's animated works.
Sappy and manipulative; it's further weighed down by an overloaded, over-politically-correct script.
...A bland but pleasing animated horse story...
I really wish I liked Spirit better.
The film meant well in its horse tale about freedom, but wasn't able to reach the heart because it was too overbearing.
The only, and I repeat only, problem in this film is Bryan Adams. Fantastic character animation.
