Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

8/10

I was very sceptical to this movie at first, most of the animal movies I've seen tend to portray the main characters rather stupidly, but when it started and I heard that the horses didn't speak, it just went uphill, and the animation of their movements were amazing.
There's still some things I think they could have done differently, I wish they'd drawn the horses even more realistically, and that they'd cut the narration. I would also have liked it to be a bit darker, more mature, more like watership down (which actually is a good movie, even though they talk), as shown in some of the original storyboards.

But, a very moving story, and a very good view of horses and animals in whole..
