Critic Reviews

  • Todd McCarthy, Variety

    There's nothing thrilling or new about the work here, but accomplished it is.

  • Michael Booth, Denver Post

    Spirit is smarter than your average cartoon because it doesn't try to joke around with a host of annoying talking animals.

  • Derek Adams, Time Out

    An exciting and exquisitely rendered film in which the horse goes through as many adventures and perils as Indiana Jones on a good day.

  • Loren King, Chicago Tribune

    A welcome family film that extols noble values and offers first-class animation.
