Spirit: Stallion of Cimarron
Description
Screenwriter John Fusco returns to the Western themes of his previous films
Young Guns and Thunderheart with this animated children’s adventure from
Dreamworks. Matt Damon supplies the voice of Spirit, a wild Mustang stallion
living free in the Old West of the late 19th century, where he’s captured by
human horse traders and sold to a cavalry regiment at a frontier outpost.
There, a cruel colonel (voice of James Cromwell) nearly succeeds in breaking
the willful horse, but not quite. Spirit escapes in the company of another
captive, Little Creek (voice of Daniel Studi), a Native American youth that
tries to possess the magnificent animal by more humane means, but Spirit
refuses to bend to human will even when he makes the acquaintance of Little
Creek’s beautiful and fiercely loyal mare, Rain. After he saves Little Creek’s
life in an Army raid, Spirit believes that the gravely injured Rain has
perished after a tumble over a waterfall. Despondent, the horse is captured
again by humans, enslaved this time for work in a pack team on the
transcontinental railroad. Undaunted by the tragedies that befall him, Spirit
manages to escape for a reunion with Little Creek, Rain, and his long-lost
brethren. Featuring songs by rock singer Bryan Adams, Spirit: Stallion of the
Cimarron departs from other examples of its genre in that the horse
protagonists do not speak or sing; only Spirit’s voice is heard as voice-over
narration.
