Criminally underrated gem!
26 February 2018
Finished this wonderful piece of animation with a feeling of enrichment in my whole body, because I haven't seen a movie as well animated, written and touching in a long time!

I am lost for words, honestly.

A mature story told almost without any dialogue from the perspective of the main character of Spirit, who is all kinds of likable. He is brave, strong, protecting of his heard and determined not to bow down to his enemies. He is simply one of the most endearing animated characters I have ever seen.

The animated landscapes are also beautiful beyond discription. The blend of CG and traditional animation makes it both grand and colourful. Go see it, you are up for some serious eye-candy!

The choice of artist to sing the songs was a little odd at first, but just like the naration it was not done excessively and knew when to let the expressions of the characters do the talking did not ruin any moments. But Hans Zimmers score was epic and grand and added to the moods of the individual scenes.

A fantastic movie with a lot of heart and a gresat story about freedom, friendship and nature. Criminally underrated and deserving of more praise. DreamWorks! Make more movies like this!
