So I was just looking up Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron reviews, and WOW was it underrated at the time of its release, it got some pretty mediocre scores.
Anyway, I just wanted to make fun of this one review I uncovered by Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian.
I seriously wonder what he was expecting. Spirit's pretty hardcore for a kid's movie. Also, BAMBI, really?
This dude is way too concerned with seeing Spirit's nuts and joystick.
...I mean it's certainly not as comedic as Shrek, and it's not meant to be. But saying the movie's bland and undemanding? Seriously? The movie with the horse and the Native man being starved and dehydrated to try to break their will, and them both escaping and standing up to the U.S. army? That movie?!
Also this dude is still very concerned about the fact that Spirit's bing-bongs are missing.
How on earth is Spirit like Bambi, how did you reach that conclusion?! Because they both star animals? Like they're not even both TALKING animals, the most we get is some narration from Spirit, all other communication is through horse vocalization and body language.

Watched one of my favourite childhood films the other day . . . I cried . . . A lot.
I don’t remember it being so emotional. The sound track is an absolute banger
Also mad respect to all the animators who had to draw horses over and over again.

Babe wake up new CMotT designs dropped
As promised I designed the rest of the cast
Lil story time, Lucifer and Lilith used to be horses of Heaven's Cavalry, some of the best, actually, until an incident broke one of Lucifer's legs. Not having the equipment, money or knowledge to fix the injury, the cavalry abandoned Lucifer at what would soon become Tophet Herd's homeland. Unable to watch her love wither away alone, Lilith joined Lucifer in the Badlands. Instead of falling victim to nature, Lucifer and Lilith thrived, as Lucifer's injury healed awkwardly and Lilith became a beacon of hope for other equine's met with the same fate. The measly collection of them and three or four other horses grew to unimaginable numbers. What was once certain death became a lively herd almost rivaling Heaven's Cavalry jn numbers.

*Even though Spirited Away had its initial release in Japan the previous year, it had its wide-release in 2002 and was nominated for Best Animated Film (and won) for that year so that’s why I didn’t include it in the 2001 poll in case anyone was wondering.

If anyone's the horse girl in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, it's Little Creek. He talks to like one human for 0.5 seconds then spends the rest of the time hanging out with wild horses and being on the run from the U.S. military.
Respect.
