Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron Reviews

I already saw this movie but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, back then, even though ‘Shrek’ had been a massive success, Dreamworks still did release two hand-drawn animated features afterwards before completely dropping this method (my guess is that those features were already in production before ‘Shrek’ came out so that’s why they still finished them). They released this one exactly a year after ‘Shrek’ but even though it was fairly successful, it didn’t make a huge impression and it is nowadays pretty much forgotten which is too bad in my opinion. Indeed, even though the animation was decent enough, above all, I really enjoyed the approach they took. Basically, even though the main character was a horse, in contrary to pretty much all  Disney’s animated features, they didn’t make him talk which must be one of the most annoying gimmicks ever used by Disney. However, it was too bad they went for some really cheesy songs by Bryan Adams to compensate the lack of dialogues. Still, this way, you get a story which was much more realistic and, therefore, much more interesting to behold. Concerning their approach of the Wild West, they went for a revisionist Western which means that the Indians were displayed as pretty much flawless and completely in sync with the world around but even though this approach was quite stereotypical, this tale was still fairly entertaining. Anyway, to conclude, even though it is not really a masterpiece, I thought it was still a solid animated feature and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
