SPOILERS!!!!!
So this is one of my favorite movies, and for a Disney movie it definitely tops the cake. It is comparable to the quality usually found in novels to the point of emotional complexity, twists and turns, action, self discovery, and a good amount of personal growth.
^
Like any good movie it has an amazing protagonist. He is both brash and
wise. He is open. You can see his faults, but can also feel his
character almost as well as in a book. In the end he comes down to one
simple word... (Spirit)

^ In the story he is a wild mustang, and I can really feel and see that. Here is is racing with the eagle and being friends with it. Carefree and reckless. This is his personality in the photo, but in the next picture...
V Here in this picture he is defending his herd from a mountain lion. He shows a great amount of responsibility, and bravery. It shows how he took responsibility for his herd along with a great love of them. It's an important aspect that will also be shown. Taking a bullet for someone else, and not leaving them behind something that not everybody has.
^To elaborate upon this protector aspect of him wild horses can be and are vicious. They are free and wild and will express this. There are times when even the benevolent Spirit is vicious and portrayed in the manner of a wild horse. This is another part of him. And while yes in many's eyes he did it in self defense and did the right thing you have to accept that he can be dangerous and just like many humans hateful. V Here we introduce two more main characters. A Lakota Indian, and a female horse named Rain. (I forget which part of the movie we learn her name....) They are both highly influential in his life and story. The Lakota or Little Creek is someone he grows a friendship with and shows his ability to go against his original prejudices. That man was evil due to the fact that in his first interaction they tried to break him, and it was rather cruel. ![](http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/4700000/Spirit-spirit-stallion-of-the-cimarron-4729219-326-343.jpg)
^ In this image you see Rain and Little Creek together. It kind of highlights a ^ In this image you see Rain and Little Creek together. It kind of highlights a bond that is possible between the two. A much more accepted bond than Spirit's and Little Creek's. While Little Creek only actually rides Spirit Once in a life or death situation where Spirit is actually saving him Rain and Little Creek are true partners. This is an attack on his Indian Village. Here he is fighting with Rain, and their entrance into the battle is actually pretty spectacular
^ And because no Disney movie would be complete without it Spirit and Rain have a relationship. At first Spirit is seen as the only one interested (which is awesome for all you people who like girls who are hard to get ;)). You get to see a different side of him, as well as a more romantic side shown when he: Saves Rain jumping in after her in the water. Tries not to leave her when he is being dragged away to work on the railroad. When he finally accepts being tied to her and then begins to accept the life that she has chosen versus his wild life. And he also grabs her an apple that she wants but can't reach, which sounds dumb, but is actually comparable to that scene in a romantic movie where the man puts his jacket out so the woman doesn't have to step on the mud. She is not as much of a main character as Little Creek or Spirit, but she is good friends with both, and actually has some part in the movie.
^ Here is an ending scene where Spirit, Little Creek, and Rain are all together. The ending is rather bittersweet as Little Creek and Spirit are very good friends, and besides calling him Mustang Little Creek finally gives Spirit his name accepting the horse is a free spirit and a good friend calling him "The Spirit that can never be broken." And they have to part ways. Along with this Little Creek parts with Rain and she with him so that she can be with Spirit. Showing huge sacrifice on his part, and a maturity that is not the same as the 'boy' that Spirit calls him in a friendly condescending.
^ There is another character who is very important the eagle. He is the first main character to appear and symbolizes the old west and is Spirit's friend and actually is the first to welcome him back home. I don't know much about the eagle though. But hope you like the picture.

^ A character who is often passed up or gone over too much is Spirit's mom. Because he would have to overthrow his father to become leader his father is not present and his mother is the leading matriarch of the Cimarron herd until Spirit grew up and when he was away growing into the end character. She loves Spirit and is a beautiful horse. I actually do not know that much about her, but there she is with foal spirit.
V In this image a very important character and really the only voiced Antagonist is shown. I don't think he was given a name, but was portrayed in a rather negative manner going so far as to make him fairly cruel. However he has shown true maturity and there is a blatantly honest way to him not shown in many Disney movies. He is of high rank in the U.S. Army, and is really a good leader capable of making decisions. He is intent upon breaking Spirit's Spirit, but in the end when they do the 'impossible' together actually makes the decision to allow Little Creek and Spirit to live when he could have had them killed. He showed a kind of honor and depth of character not usually present in antagonists, so here he is facing off with Spirit.

^ I do think it is worth mentioning however that there was a point in time when he truly did feel he had been broken. He saw his old home, missed it and began to lose faith. During a crucial time he was beginning to die inside. He despaired, and separated himself from those who had hope. He had been returned to the 'enemy' and he had lost Rain. He had nothing, and no hope of seeing his family again. He didn't see the sky or the eagle. He could only imagine seeing his family or a glimmer of the life he had.
Of course like any good hero in disney he rose to the challenge and with the help of others who needed his strength, leadership, and hope he rose to the challenge. Freeing the horses, and stopping the railway from reaching his home land 'the old west.'
^ The army demonstrated how they tried to break their horses. They clipped his mane like you see now and tried to tame him. Then you see the Indians, and the difference is obvious the horses aren't all brown, uniform, and tired. They are happy, and laughing, and different with personality and obviously want Spirit to enjoy that too. Not realizing he wouldn't really fit in anyway except with Little Creek as a complete equal and friend.
^ And because I love that you guys have actually read this far this is spirit as a foal. He is very cute, and the movie actually shows some of his colt years and the herd that he grew up in. It shows the young him where he learned to be wild, different, arrogant, brash, and incredibly brave.
V If you haven't figured it out yet Spirit is also a character much like many humans; a sense of humor and attitude. He rolls his eyes and acts like a teenager at times. He can be quite huffy and that is another dimension to him. :)

V So now if you're like me; AWESOME MOVIE, I want the sequel. But it was not popular enough to make a sequel, but it would have been with Rain and Spirit's child, Storm. Here is a picture I found on Google so we all know that it is just a speculation but someone was amazing enough (I swear not me.) to upload and take the time to draw it. I think the other may be more accurate but you choose.

V Here in this picture he is defending his herd from a mountain lion. He shows a great amount of responsibility, and bravery. It shows how he took responsibility for his herd along with a great love of them. It's an important aspect that will also be shown. Taking a bullet for someone else, and not leaving them behind something that not everybody has.

^ And because no Disney movie would be complete without it Spirit and Rain have a relationship. At first Spirit is seen as the only one interested (which is awesome for all you people who like girls who are hard to get ;)). You get to see a different side of him, as well as a more romantic side shown when he: Saves Rain jumping in after her in the water. Tries not to leave her when he is being dragged away to work on the railroad. When he finally accepts being tied to her and then begins to accept the life that she has chosen versus his wild life. And he also grabs her an apple that she wants but can't reach, which sounds dumb, but is actually comparable to that scene in a romantic movie where the man puts his jacket out so the woman doesn't have to step on the mud. She is not as much of a main character as Little Creek or Spirit, but she is good friends with both, and actually has some part in the movie.
![](https://cumuloquoise.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/spirit-stallion-of-the-cimarron-spirit-stallion-of-the-cimarron-33182223-1000-690.jpg)
^ Here is an ending scene where Spirit, Little Creek, and Rain are all together. The ending is rather bittersweet as Little Creek and Spirit are very good friends, and besides calling him Mustang Little Creek finally gives Spirit his name accepting the horse is a free spirit and a good friend calling him "The Spirit that can never be broken." And they have to part ways. Along with this Little Creek parts with Rain and she with him so that she can be with Spirit. Showing huge sacrifice on his part, and a maturity that is not the same as the 'boy' that Spirit calls him in a friendly condescending.
^ There is another character who is very important the eagle. He is the first main character to appear and symbolizes the old west and is Spirit's friend and actually is the first to welcome him back home. I don't know much about the eagle though. But hope you like the picture.
^ A character who is often passed up or gone over too much is Spirit's mom. Because he would have to overthrow his father to become leader his father is not present and his mother is the leading matriarch of the Cimarron herd until Spirit grew up and when he was away growing into the end character. She loves Spirit and is a beautiful horse. I actually do not know that much about her, but there she is with foal spirit.
V In this image a very important character and really the only voiced Antagonist is shown. I don't think he was given a name, but was portrayed in a rather negative manner going so far as to make him fairly cruel. However he has shown true maturity and there is a blatantly honest way to him not shown in many Disney movies. He is of high rank in the U.S. Army, and is really a good leader capable of making decisions. He is intent upon breaking Spirit's Spirit, but in the end when they do the 'impossible' together actually makes the decision to allow Little Creek and Spirit to live when he could have had them killed. He showed a kind of honor and depth of character not usually present in antagonists, so here he is facing off with Spirit.
^ I do think it is worth mentioning however that there was a point in time when he truly did feel he had been broken. He saw his old home, missed it and began to lose faith. During a crucial time he was beginning to die inside. He despaired, and separated himself from those who had hope. He had been returned to the 'enemy' and he had lost Rain. He had nothing, and no hope of seeing his family again. He didn't see the sky or the eagle. He could only imagine seeing his family or a glimmer of the life he had.
Of course like any good hero in disney he rose to the challenge and with the help of others who needed his strength, leadership, and hope he rose to the challenge. Freeing the horses, and stopping the railway from reaching his home land 'the old west.'
^ The army demonstrated how they tried to break their horses. They clipped his mane like you see now and tried to tame him. Then you see the Indians, and the difference is obvious the horses aren't all brown, uniform, and tired. They are happy, and laughing, and different with personality and obviously want Spirit to enjoy that too. Not realizing he wouldn't really fit in anyway except with Little Creek as a complete equal and friend.

^ And because I love that you guys have actually read this far this is spirit as a foal. He is very cute, and the movie actually shows some of his colt years and the herd that he grew up in. It shows the young him where he learned to be wild, different, arrogant, brash, and incredibly brave.
V If you haven't figured it out yet Spirit is also a character much like many humans; a sense of humor and attitude. He rolls his eyes and acts like a teenager at times. He can be quite huffy and that is another dimension to him. :)
V So now if you're like me; AWESOME MOVIE, I want the sequel. But it was not popular enough to make a sequel, but it would have been with Rain and Spirit's child, Storm. Here is a picture I found on Google so we all know that it is just a speculation but someone was amazing enough (I swear not me.) to upload and take the time to draw it. I think the other may be more accurate but you choose.
Anyway it was an amazing movie and even if there was not sequel (:() then watch it. I hope you liked the blog post and you like the movie.
