I Called Spirit Mid, So My Girlfriend Made Me Rewatch It (Part 1)

- Ah Spirit, the film I so casually criticised in an attempt to talk up yet another Dreamworks masterpiece. Soon after this I heard a lot of loud critiques coming for me to dare say that Spirit was "nothing special", particularly from my girlfriend who demanded I rewatch and do a review on it. So here I am, and uncharacteristically I was actually wrong. Now this video WAS roughly 15 minutes long, but no matter how many re-edits I did, UA-cam would not have it. But once I broke up the same video into two parts it's no longer a copyright issue. I've been having this come up more and more recently so I appreciate you all bearing with me as I wander around blind trying to find out how to do this. When you're finished, here's the link to the second part of the review: • I Called Spirit Mid, S...
Enjoy - Розваги
Your girlfriend singlehanded saved your life with this
I was literally about to say the same thing
@@keona5560me too lol
she literally did
All praise to your girlfriend for making you watch this classic.
My sibling has/had a profile picture of the character in your profile picture I believe!! :00
Fun fact: All the horse sounds, right down to the hoof beats are real! They had actual horse vocal recordings and recorded horses going over various terrain for the different hoof beat sounds!
wow i always really liked the sound of them running lol
Smarty pants calling spirit MID
His gf :*feels offended and gives the how dare you face* watch it again
people are entitled to their opinions, it's hard, but it's true. then again, nothing wrong with rewatching something
@@wak773 true
Fun fact: horses are one of the hardest animals to draw, let alone animate. Their anatomy is just... kind of an anomaly? To animate an entire movie about horses, and to do it well, is challenging. So, this is beautiful.
R* solved this problem for Red Dead 2 by just throwing motion capture suits on horses lol
@@K.C-2049 Spirit was nearly two decades before Red Dead 2. This movie, along with a lot of Dreamworks and Disney movies actually, have always drawn horses/animated them well.
That's also why "horror horses" became in joke in webtoons because so many of them take ugly out of place 3D horse model and just put them in their comics and it looks awful lol
Sometimes you even have "ghost carriages" without horses aha
@@BrokensoulRider yes they also did great. Like I’m not trying to be sassy I just think the mo cap suits on horses is neat… why does literally everyone think every comment is an argument?
@@K.C-2049 I... wasn't arguing? I was simply pointing out a fact.
Spirit was actually the reason I got into animation. I watched it when I was 4 and when I saw the behind the scenes on the dvd I was absolutely blown away. I didn’t fully understand what the animators were doing but it really made me want to become an animator, and it’s been my life goal ever since😂
Hope you can achieve it!!! Fellow animation student here :D Good luck!!!!!
I'm in my 3rd year of 4 years of earning my art diploma with the desire to become a 2D animator.
You can do it!!!
Spirit was the movie that got me paying attention to movie scores. Of course Hans Zimmer is a master but every movie I watch I really listen to the music and it all started with Spirit. And coming from a horse person, they did a phenomenal job animating this movie. Horses are so difficult and they they just nailed it.
I had a similar experience! I watched that "How to Draw Horses" special feature on the DVD when I was 10 and it completely changed how I thought about drawing. Rewired my brain. I'm an artist now, at least partially because of Spirit.
@@GragonOhare dang dude, I just checked out your channel and you’re so skilled :0
I’m still a beginner 😅
Btw, horses are consired the hardest animal to draw. *To. DRAW*. James Baxter drew horses for days to learn their anatomy and behaviour (and the other animators ofc). Animating him was not easy. (Source: James Baxter talked about it at Playgrounds Eindhoven last year. We got to see the frames onnpaper that they used! A beautiful shot from Belle and The Beast was there too)
James Baxter is literally built different when it comes to animation
Shout out to her bc you were dragging it lol
Ong
I will never forgive the girl power bullshit remake they did with it. This isn't a my little pony movie, and that is exactly why it is great! Its unique, mature, yet real tone is what made it outstanding and a classic! 😤
Spirit, the horse that could not be broken. A symbol of freedom and resisting the oppression of the white man/US. No one could ride him. (If anything he carried Little Creek more than let him finally ride)
Sequel: Horse becomes "best friends" with the daughter of a railroad owner. She rides him everywhere on little kiddie adventures.
Just disrespectful....
Yes! Somebody said it!!! ☠️
@@returnoftheromans6726 sir, it was literally the first thought I had when I first saw the trailer for that crap. Anyone could've said the same thing. 👍
IKR! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BLASPHEMOUS WHAT THEY DID TO SPIRIT! I remember seeing the trail or every time I went inside Costco and I would point at it and tell my siblings about everything I hated and lil critiques I had for it
I remember watching the remake because I was so excited for it, spirit was my shit. My mom was pregnant with my little sister and I had her up on the trampoline pretending to be spirit singing “can’t catch me, I’m free”. Absolutely destroyed his entire iconic personality of being free and unwavering. I still watched the show, it was still cute, I just refused to acknowledge that she was riding Spirit.
Sinbad and Spirit are like Treasure Planet. They are hidden diamonds in the rut that never got the chance they deserved to fully shine. Hats of to your girlfriend for waking you up to reality
I don’t think box office is always an indicator of quality some of the greatest classic movies are box office bombs
BASED Smarty Pants’ girlfriend
Spirit is one of my favourite animated movies, it’s so gorgeous
Sinbad is similar to treasure planet with how they performed and being ahead of there time, you shouldn’t judge them by the box office
Same with Legends of the Guardians tbh
literally! the animation is so beautiful and the plot is so good!! It does have that nostalgic factor but it's a movie I could watch over and over again and never be bored
No for real. Even Brother Bear didn't do great at the Box Office, but it's still a beautiful movie. All those movies came out at a time where the studios were actively trying to bomb their own movies so they could excuse the pull push towards 3D :/
Your girlfriend is top tier, make her a keeper. Also this just made me realize Spirit probably failed more critically simply because it was a Native allegory in 2002. It still did well but 69% on rotten tomatoes?! For THIS masterpiece?! I feel it'd rank a lot higher today.
I remember seeing the trailer in theaters. It comprised of the opening sequence with the eagle and expanded over the grassy landscape. When those horses erupted on screen, it was epic! You felt like those horses were really coming right at you! They captured the power and majesty of being surrounded in a horse herd so well! I still get chills to this day.
"Spirit is mid."
Ooh, that there's a paddlin'.
he'd better not steal the school canoe next.
Oh, you have a girlfriend? 🆒️
And yes, Spirit is alot better in quality then what we all give it credit for
Spirit is actually one of my many favorites among the Dreamworks movie run. I remember watching this movie over and over again because it was so good. 😄
I was really confused when I found out that they made a Spirit sequel series about a human interacting with Spirit rather himself? I like horses, not people! xD
spirit was THE reason i became into animation, into art, into horses into the very idea of bringing things to LIFE! that opening shot alone made me go "i want to recreate this feeling of being ALIVE as we dive through the canyons with the eagle" the eagle being the imagery of freedom, of spirit himself being freedom and self. Spirit has and will i say, brought life to many artists. its not just ABOUT horses, it brought storytelling to where it should be, its beautiful and my favourite way of telling stories for animals. your only understanding through the animals perspective, they wouldnt understand anything other then their own wants and needs but aware certain things.
When I watched it as a kid I wasn’t very into it because I lived in the world of talking animals and I didn't understand the emotion, though I still enjoyed some things. Watching it later, after growing up, I realized how amazing the score, songs, characters, and story are
I watched at three and loved it so much I named all my toys after it. Not just the horses.
Your girlfriend has, all my respect for doing this
My mom told me this movie was the only one that ever made my dad cry. I've never seen the man even come close to shedding a tear in my life. To me that says a lot about Spirit. When I was a kid I was blown away watching it and nowadays if I sit down to watch this I'll cry at least 10 times either from sheer amazement or sadness. I'm glad your girlfriend got you to take another look at Spirit, it's deserving of so much more hype than it gets imo!
I watched this film over and over as a child. Spirit was, undoubtedly, one of my animated animal heros. (Balto and Simba being the others.) This started my transformation into a full-blown horse girl. Lol!
But as an adult, I fully appreciate what it encapsulates. The setting of the sun on the "Wild West"; one that Frederick Remington loved to paint; the brutality on the Natives. (By the way, can we just appreciate how Dreamworks respected them as a whole while they made this, and also highlighted how close they were with their animals?)
Apparently, Spirit's father was a black stallion called Strider. He was also captured by humans, and possibly killed by them. In this light, it is even more heartbreaking seeing the look on his mother's face as he tells her it's going to be okay, when she already knew that he probably would not survive the humans. Some say that the Eagle is a manifestation of his father in 'spirit' form. But I have another theory. In the train, when Spirit has that vision of his family, there appears a black horse galloping behind his mother. I believe this is when Strider appears to strengthen his son in his time of need.
The movie's opening lines telling the audience it is up to them to decide whether that land was won or lost in the end gets me every time. That, along with: "There are those in Washington who believe the West will never be settled. The Northern Pacific Railroad never reach Nebraska; a hostile Lakota, will never submit to Providence. And it is in that manner of small thinking that says this horse can never be broken." Ring true in some form or other. But, thanks to those who respected the West, namely Theodore Roosevelt, we still have those hoofbeets ringing clear across parts of our land.
That is what Spirit's whole being stands on: that Nature will find a way.
i remember voice dubbing Spirit when i was little, then when i got a little older, i realized that they don't need to talk. I'm very happy that they made that choice. :) Also Dreamworks, please bring 2d animation back!
Thankyou for making this spirit is my favorite movie of all time, and it saddens me how underrated it is. I hope a bunch of youtubers make videos about it and more people get to enjoy this amazing film.
Girlfriend made an excellent decision
She saved you from such a disgrace
I remember watching this film so many times as a kid, always loved it.
The funny thing about this movie is that horses aren't native to americas. Europeans brought horses there and the wild ones are decendants of those that escaped or were abandoned and some point. There turned out to be a horse-shape slot in the ecosystem so they survived while not becoming invasive species. So, yeah, for horses it was longer because they have shorter faster generations but they are there only as long as europens. Not like the Spirit could know, or would care about petty chistorical details. But, no he is not techically native, more like naturalized.
To be fair, American horses has only gone extinct a few thousand years prior, which is fairly short evolution wise! Horses evolved and spread from North America and were brought back by europeans!
@@SakuraStallion Oh? Yeah, that sure expliains the empty ecological nishe. I knew there was a huge extinction of megafauna but didn't know local horses were part of it too.
Uhm, no, horse evolution is fairly complex. There were horses in america and they went extint a few thousand years before the europeans brought them back
Nice to see that you gave it a second shot :)
Also, I always find it so weird that some Americans refuse to acknowledge that their ancestors were horrible people even if that’s what really happened in history…
I don't know, it's some stupid ego stuff or smth. Humans are very narcissistic sometimes, even if admitting it wouldn't make them the bad person.
I remember as a kid I was already excited about an animated movie about horses 🐎
Oh yeah, it’s my favourite “horse themed” animated movie of all time! 😁
I'm not a horse guy, but even I enjoyed Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron wholeheartedly.
the term "traditional animation arms race" echoes through my mind
Spirit stallion of the cimarron is such a classic very underated at the time of its release I watched it alot its great if there was a place for there to be both a healthy balance of styles both in 3d computer animation and the traditional classic 2d hand drawn style it would be wonderful to see happen also this is one of the rare animated films to tackle the western genre would love to see more animated films in this genre and cover more historical type settings
it's not right to judge a movie based on box office, it's more about luck and marketting and whomever edited the trailer than what the movie actually is, there's plenty of people who shouldn't have gone to see coraline because parents didn't realise it might be too scary for their kids and there's plenty of people who go to live action disney remakes even though they are often completely inferior to the original
I LOVE "Sindbad"! It's one of my favourite movies! And it's has been since I was a kid. And I also realy, realy, realy like "Spirit", but mabey that's just because I like horses.
Honestly, I'm so glad that your girlfriend made you rewatch Spirit. Wish more people's girlfriends did that. xD
I just watched Spirit last week, and it's beautifully animated, with a very exciting story.
I mean, Iron Giant was also a flop in theatres but essentially became a cult classic afterwards. Some movies just need to age like a fine wine. I personally find most critics to be about as exciting and reliable as a sack of hammers - Spirit deserved far more credit than it got. Honestly, people whining about movies being too PC just piques my interest even more. Mainly because you learn pretty quick how thin-skinned people are 😆 what, you can't handle the tiniest reminder of the fact that America has never been perfect and has contributed to horrible attrocities for as long as it's been colonized? Grow up. Face it. Quit shoving your head in the sand, you look ridiculous.
Getting an animated film about horses and Native Americans, even if it's designed for a kid's palate, made a solid stamp on my life. Still a favorite to rewatch to this day. Glad your gf knocked some sense into you about it!
Welcome to club of not embracing this underrated masterpiece.
If Dreamworks and Disney returned to 2-D animation I'd learn to do a backflip then and there. But that's just wishful thinking.
Real
i think the narration takes itself really seriously, but it works because 1. the movie hits some really serious stuff! it has a serious undertone! and 2. it’s spirit himself narrating it, and he’s a bit of a self important dickhead of a horse whose character arc is largely about expanding his worldview, maturing and humbling- still, he lacks the context the audience has, and to him the events of the film are the singular most important and dangerous things anyone could ever possibly encounter. there is nothing he as a horse could imagine that’s more important than keeping the herd (and later rain, little creek and the other Lakota people and horses) safe, and no greater danger to them than a train line carrying the men who represent all evil to him. the narration is such an important part of this movie IMO seeing as the horses don’t speak, and it’s our only insight to what he’s thinking, so every line had to have been chosen so carefully, and I think they did a great job representing both spirit’s character and conveying plot.
Growing up in the southwest US and going on road trips to all the national parks as a kid, this movie is one of my all-time favorites! I rewatched it with friends and we can tell generally what state they're in throughout the movie, and it's so cool to see my home drawn/represented so beautifully. The only other time I've seen the southwest animated so thoughtfully was in Cars, which also has a soft spot in my heart. I'm not indigenous/native American so I can't speak to the accuracy of the representation here, but as a kid it definitely seemed like one of the most realistic/nuanced pictures of the American colonization/genocide in the west over other films like Pocahontas. Also the soundtrack is fantastic and great for road trips!
My grandpa raised horses and he loved this movie. He loved that the horses didn't talk, that they moved like real horses, acted like real horses (mostly), and that it shows the real *spirit* of the wild horse. Add in the absolute banger soundtrack and the fact the horse is "voiced" by MATT DAMON, and it's an absolutely amazing movie.
people thinking Spirit is "too PC" is absolute bonkers
i love this movie. when i was a little kid i spent a lot of time with my mom's sister and her family, and my cousins weren't allowed to watch a lot of shows and tv. my aunt was very religious and bought heavily into the satanic panic of the 2000s. but she had this movie on dvd, and it was one of our favorites. as a black kid i empathized very greatly with both spirit and the lakota because i understood the ways in which chattel slavery was similar. and i appreciated that the movie recognized the importance of harmony with nature instead of trying to bend it to your will. but my absolute favorite part of this movie is the masterful way it navigates storytelling with very little dialogue, through the music, the animal sounds, and the expressive animation. it's so enriching in that way.
I LOVED this movie! I regret not seeing it in the theater. It was well written and I really loved that it wasn't a talking animal movie...and this is coming from someone whose favorite movie is The Lion King. I also really loved the soundtrack. And obviously, I absolutely adored the animation. This movie deserved better. ❤❤
nice summary. i think this movie is underrated, it looked really cool visually when it came out and has some interesting animation style, which still holds up pretty well overall. i would have certainly liked to see dreamworks continue with this style, so its a real shame it didn't catch on.
and doing the music + narration combination rather than talking animals was an excellent decision. it keeps the movie a bit more grounded and adds to the traditional western feel. hans zimmer and bryan adams did so well; that soundtrack is really great, was one of my favorite CDs as a kid and i still listen to it from time to time.
I LOVED this film growing up I think I might of had it on dvd but I do remember when it was on Netflix, as a kid my fondest memories were listening to the soundtrack. I think I rewatched the movie about 17 times. Whenever I get sad I find myself watching spirit :’) I loved the film and also love horses!! It’s nice to appreciate for its accuracy and it’s such a nice plot !!
Something this movie reminds me a lot of surprisingly is how the rohirrim are characterised in the lotr movies, horse focused and commenting on how times are moving past them
Okay I'll add a few scrambled thoughts of my own, because Spirit was one of the movies that made me get into art. Not so much animation, though I have done some very simple attempts. Back when I was a kid, I had the DVD (it's still on a shelf at my parents' place) and it had a little guide video on how to draw horses in the style of Spirit and also some behind the scenes stuff iirc. I had always been artistic, but this movie basically made me start working on getting better at anatomy and drawing in general because WOW. I wanted to be able to draw well.
Also for some context, I'm Finnish and have only ever watched the Finnish dub of Spirit. I tried watching it in English a while ago, but I literally could not, because it felt very... different? The soundtrack is essentially the same, the songs are in Finnish as is the dialogue, but otherwise it's the same afaik. Personally I like the Findub so much better, it just feels almost like the voices fit better?? Also the songs in Finnish are absolute FIRE!!! No hate to the American versions, but the Finnish covers are absolutely beautiful. Especially the cover of You Can't Take Me that plays after Spirit is captured. I would link it here, but I think YT doesn't like links in comments anymore because of bots.
So if you do want to listen to the Finnish cover, just type this into UA-cam: Spirit you can't take me nondisneyfin (The channel name is NonDisneyFIN). It should be the top result, and also has [HD 1080p] in the title for some extra specificity if needed. There are other uploads of this song, but personally this specific one is the best clipped from the movie. Some cut the beginning too short, others cut off the end, making too abrupt. This one's pretty perfect.
Anyway. Not much to comment on the start, though I agree about the animals-not-speaking part. The body language and expressiveness of the horses is so good that no dialogue is needed. And I mean, that's pretty darn impressive, actually. To make a somewhat complex facial structure such as a horse so expressive that it's obvious to even small children, while still retaining that they are indeed horses and not some kind of amalgamations between horse and human. I've seen it happen, it doesn't always work and would probably traumatise the children lol
In general about the movie, I absolutely loved it. As a kid, and now as a young adult. Being Finnish, I had no proper knowledge of American history as a little kid, so this sort of introduced me to it, I guess? As I think back on my childhood experience with this movie, I can honestly see that it may have had a slight influence on my own values. Some of them more strongly than others. Freedom is a very important concept to me, though I think the American and Finnish ideas of them differ somewhat. Personally I wasn't super hyper into the love story side of Spirit, but it's not bad at all, and Rain (I believe that's the name of the love interest) is a very nice character as well. Without her, some parts of the movie wouldn't be the same. It's a bit silly, horses in love, but it works. I think as a kid I was just mad that Rain was keeping Spirit from achieving his goals of freedom, I guess. He would rather stay with her than to go back home? I think it's just a slight deviation from his character, the unbreakable wild spirit. To abandon the wilderness for her? Mehhh. But I still love her as a character. I'm just not into very romance-focused media, though there is a lot of good stuff out there.
it's really a shame what the new Spirit Riding Free did to Spirit. I've seen a couple rants about the series. The style and animation have gone WAY downhill, what with being a semi-crappy 3D style because of budget. Where the movie had very real and smooth and beautiful movement, the series are..... well, not that. I mean, it's made for kids, but it's still kinda awful. OG Spirit was also made for kids, but it's awesome. They also basically made Spirit, the unbreakable, an absolute loser. He just lets this random kid ride him. They have some kind of a "connection" or something??? It seems very 'stereotypical horse girl series where the girl magically makes the dangerous horse sweet as can be in approx. 0.2 seconds' coded. There is a good message behind the show afaik, but it's still like... no? You can't just basically clickbait people by using Spirit... I would watch it to see if it's as bad as I've heard, but I don't want to contribute a single cent.
I remember when it came out. I watched 5 different times on the cinema. Yes, I made my family buy me tickets for it for 5 times. I think the last 2 were from my grandmother, who took me to the cinema on the last day and let me rewatch the movie again to say it goodbye.
I never did that with any other movie.
I remember when this movie came out, it was right after the Disney animation heyday. People just couldn't comprehend an animated movie about animals where they don't talk, and I think they felt deceived assuming that's what it was going to be.
This is my all time favorite childhood movie. Together with Pocahontas. Might have to do with the Native American fibes, and my love for horses. But it is also just a genuinly good movie with beautiful music and emotions.
I used to watch this movie on loop as a kid, I guess I had good taste because it really holds up!
Watching this movie as a child is the reason I did 6 years of vet school with a specialty in horse medicine. Spirit can be many things, but "forgettable" is definitely NOT one of them
Apparently this movie was going to be way darker at first but they toned it down. Rain was going to actually die, and, from the train wherein Spirit is traveling, he was going to witness a buffalo hunt. I am also fairly certain the train hauling scene was going to be more intense.
The most interesting part of the development of the movie is they mixed the digital and traditional media! This movie claims to be the first use of digital and traditional animation mixed. Lots of the models and landscapes are painting over with traditional animation. The landscape paintings are meant to mimic artists from the late 1800s and the early 1900s who depict the same environments out west. All of the native characters were played by native actors. Like said, previously the horse noises including hoofbeats were all made by real horses. Horses are one of the hardest things to draw/animate because there movement is so clean and complex. We all know what they look like and how they move so its hard to mimic realistically. Spirit unfortunately was tarnished by Dreamworks attempt at 3difying it in "Spirit running free" but I will forever love the original for its anti western expansion pro native rights and natural rights vibes. The horse blows up a train. he's my hero and fostered my love of horses.
No, I haven't memorized Spirit. I KNOW IT BY HEART.
I know the songs, I could lipsync with the dialogues (unfortunately I don't speak horse so neigh for that) but I know the cues for it. And what really tickles my addiction to it is that no matter how many I've watched it, it doesn't get old. It's still fun and excitable and emotional. I mean that much impact is rare. This movie hit so many high notes for me and it's not even that deep. I love it, always.
The actual evilness we did to the natives is very tragic. I remember reading my first college book of what we did to them, and it brought me to tears. No child, no women, no men were safe.
8:21 Ironically Spirit wouldn’t have his ‘land’ or ‘customs’ if the European continent hadn’t brought his ancestors over with them when the colonies were established lol horses aren’t native to the US of A, unlike the ‘Wind💨 & the Buffalo 🦬’
Spirit is my favorite Dream Works classic!!!
I notice how amazing the things I literally could not stand as a child are just so beautiful as an adult.
Treasure Planet being one of them.
Your gf is someone i just heard about and i like her already I’m glad you rewatched it
Spirit is my most most most most most favourite film of all time!!!!!!! So glad you came to your sentences!!!!!!!
Sinbad is a phenomenal movie and nobody could change my mind on it
I love how even if the movie flopped, everyone seems to still agree its REALLY good! Yeah it's definitely showing it's age with the animations but oh well. I grew up watching this movie alot, basically to the point of knowing the to this day almost perfectly so it makes me happy seeing others watch it and realizing its still good for how old it is!
The sound track is a way of life all you gotta do is play it while you workout and you feel alive.
the movie is inspirational and lovely, and I don't care who gave it a low rating they need to watch it again.
that part where you said westerns give you nostalgia even as a non American!!! 📌😆👌
Sinbad is amazing. Better than Shrek in any of the movies they made and I will die on this hill. It was witty and amazing in a grand character development that of Treasure Planet.
My partner is by no means a animation fan. His favorite movie is clerks. But i got him to watch spirit, and he actually liked it. (He agrees the netflix version ruined it too btw. Forced him to look at the trailer for it lmao)
Spirit is my 2nd favourite animated movie.
The movie obviously does't show the worst parts of the wild west (suprisingly mature for a kids movie already), but it does show enought to make thier point about the USA bad part, where the movie fails is to show any bad part on the Native American side falling into the trope of pretending the indegenous ppl had morally good or perfect societies and did no wrong.
Which on itself I dont mind that much, sacrificing accuracy for the plot to serve a fictional narrative is a move everyone does on movie industry, the problem is the side effect of conflating it with reality after in a concious or uncouncious ways, and in extreme cases this is what we call propaganda (with intention).
SPIRIT MENTIONED!!!!!!!
One of my fav movies of all time
Life is about learning
2D animation is still alive and well, just not in North America.
The music in Spirit is so good in my opinion.
Spirit was my favorite childhood movie and it’s STILL good!
I’d describe the narration as “spirit rly thinks he’s a badass” in a way that could be arrogant and annoying but then you watch the film and see he IS a badass and loves his friends and family
My only complaint about the movie was that the music was sometimes a little too on the nose, but I like Bryan Adams, so I didn’t mind it all that much
How the fuck is earning 120 million off an 80 million budget a flop?
Horse person here!! you ask at at around the 7:30 mark if the no food and water for three days would kill a horse and I want too say yes, it very much can. Due too colic. Colic is where the horse suffers stomach upset. Horses cant vomit so when there GI system gets messed up its get messy very quickly. It can be a minor colic that can be solved easily or a bad colic which can be a death sentence
See horses are really sensitive and even something slightly off can cause them too colic and die. It can be caused by many things and is the bane of a horse owners existence. Something as small as eating something wrong or stress can cause them too colic bad and need expensive surgery that has no guarantee on if it will save the animal.
Back when this film takes place a bad colic would likely be a death sentence too Spirit and any other horse. Because of little food, water, and stress that he was under if we ignore artistic liberties he would likely end up colicing
Um... Have to say, 2002 wasn't a different world re: views of the old West. You might remember a moderately successful movie from 1990, Dances With Wolves... Or later, one called Avatar...
Or an old anti littering ad from the seventies, with Iron Eyes Cody...
Manifest Destiny and all had been discarded for a century or so before Spirit came along, and the problems of how to deal with its debris trail have no simple solutions.
A production note: Dr. Deb Bennett, author of Principles of Conformation Analysis, served as a consultant for the film. One of her stipulations was that there be a certain amount of ambiguity; and so the Colonel (?)(I forget his rank) is indeed a skilled horseman and leader, knows his opponents, and gives respect where it is due at the end
5:16 as a latin American it ain't my first rodeo
Spirit is an extremely unique movie and I loved it as a kid
lol I live in western Canada and when I look at the mountains I still to this day hear Bryan Adams singing "I heeeear the wiiiiind acrosssss the plaaain" 🎶 movie's a banger
oh and yeah, the score was done by Hans fucking Zimmer 🔥🔥🔥
Your girlfriend saved you from a bombardment of horse girl rage
you're so lucky to date such a based girl, spirit is one of the most beautiful and inspiring animated movies out there
You know, I have a love-hate relationship with horse movies, most horse movies I’ve watched are OK. I’ve never really enjoyed them fully I would call most of them mostly mid, for the fact that 90% of horse films. In fact I would even say 99% of horse films fallow the same trope, girl or boy finds untamable horse bonds with said wild horse and wins competition or wins horse, it’s never really that different. of course there’s a exceptions like black beauty, but for the most part, most horse media being books or movies fallows the same trope, which gets extremely boring for people like me who love horses and wanna enjoy that kind of media. but when I see spirit it’s a breath of fresh air that I haven’t really seen in any other horse film. it’s about the horse. It’s not about the people it’s about spirit, now of course there are some human characters that pop up, but they are side characters. The focus is on the horses and I really enjoyed that about the film and I wish there was more horse films that followed under spirits footsteps, or even books. they’re probably are books that I’m not aware of but for the most part as a person who tried dipping her toes into horse books and movies. I never found anything too different from each other. I think spirit is one of the greatest animated films I ever watched and especially the best horse film I’ve ever watched.
It was one of my and my friends favourite animation movies,we knew all of the songs. I believe įn Eastern Europe it was a success, plius Simbad had great credo s well 😊
Thank goodness your girlfriend made you rewatch the film
Spirit is possibly want a mouse under rated movies of all times.
you mention the narration and honestly, if you're not really into that, you should go searching for the matt damon-less edit someone did not too long ago. Honestly makes the movie better and gives it a subtly different feel entirely
Omg i had to show so many great old films to my bf. Even anime! And i showed him Naruto. Big mistake in a way... Lol he finally finished Naruto till 2 Yrs later! I was so happy. But againthis was the time Boruto came out to the 2nd season. Omg. Thank god i him distracted him with DragonBall. R.I.P. Akira Toriyama❤
why did you upload the video in 2 parts?
His community post said copyright struggles 😞
@@nikmariealex I thought the copyright stuff affects UA-camrs with footage and music, not because the length of a video.
@@SharpAsRavenClaws he's got a detailed post about it. It's the most* recent one if you wanna check it out
I just read the title and was like 5min saying in disbelief „What?!“ in different octaves - you called spirit mid? Your girlfriend set you on the right path my friend. What?!
I mean…
There is no world where spirit is mid 😂
Honestly no 😂
Has anyone seen that new 2021 spirit movie it was kinda dead?
Spirit has a good story, beautiful animation, and a banger soundtrack. I only have one problem with it: I found the narration hand-holdy and unnecessary and frankly annoying. If it had been reduced to a short intro and outro (or better yet, left out completely), this movie would have been an easy A+ for me.
Ok. I guess I can resubscribe now.
