Critics' reviews

"'Spirit' is more pure and direct than most of the stories we see in animation--a fable I suspect younger viewers will strongly identify with (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"The movie's big action scenes, at times, make you forget you're even watching animation"

Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
"An animated fairy tale made with simple, elegant conviction"

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"A poetic and lovely tale, told as a silent picture with music and narration, about a mustang living an idyllic existence in the prairies of the Old West (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Despite its good intentions, Spirit is more self-conscious and uninspiring from a dramatic point of view than one might have wished."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"A welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation"

Loren King: Chicago Tribune
"The makers of 'Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron' had a great idea, but they screwed it up (...) A mishmash that is sometimes moving, sometimes absurd and most of the time just oddly off balance."

Mick LaSalle: SFGATE
"'Spirit' provides neither the profound human touch of the great Disney animation of the past, nor the dazzling, high-tech fun of present-day digital cartooning"

Dave Kehr: The New York Times
