This is one of the few kids movies that I truly enjoyed. I thought the story was great, and I loved the scene where the foal was nursing and had milk all over his lips, then smacked it off. I thought it was adorable. Overall I thought the premise was good, and it was a good length for kids. What did you think of it?

He enjoyed the horses but the story was too mature for him.

My older kids (9 and 12) weren't interested enough to stay with the video.

I had a good time watching it but was glad I rented the movie...I don't want to watch it all the time so I wouldn't purchase it.

I liked it... we got it as a gift, and my 6 yr old loves it... so we are now a little sick of Spirit... but I do really like the parts where it shows him being born and the nursing, and all that... I like the lasting relationship with his mom too, and the fact that the horses don't talk... the first couple times I really enjoyed it.

(My dh thinks it is too stereotypical of a "bad white man", "good native american", but I told him that if it is stereotypical in history, why can it not be stereotypical in media?)

Love Val

Okay I'm a horrible person because I hated it, it's just too sad for me. I cried through the entire movie at the theater and refuse to watch it at home now that Emma has it on DVD, every time I walk in the room when it's on, I start crying, lol. It really just made me want to free every horse I see, lol.

I think this is a great children's movie. I liked it so much that we purchased it. Marcus loves to pretend that he his Spirit and goes around the house kicking up his heels and neighing. He is a very sensitive lad and it is hard to find movies for him that we can enjoy too but this is a good one. I love the music and even when i am sick of watching it it is still nice to turn on, just for the music.
