    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The model for Spirit was a 3-year-old Kiger stallion named Donner. He was bought from a rancher for $50,000 (considered a high price). Kiger Stallions are noteworthy because they are a wild breed with traits originating back to the breeds brought over by the Spaniards in the 16th and 17th centuries. Donner was most likely chosen so that DreamWorks Animation could base Spirit on a horse most like what a wild horse in the 18th century might have looked like.
    • Goofs
      The Lakota camp had a pen for their horses. Lakota would not have had pens, their horses would've run in a herd that was attended to by the teens of the tribe.
    • Quotes
      • [Closing Narration before the Ending Song]
      • Spirit: I had been waiting so long to run free, but that good-bye was harder than I ever imagined. I'll never forget that boy...
      • [Spirit neighs onscreen]
      • Spirit: and how we won back our freedom together.
      • [Spirit neighing onscreen]
      • Little Creek: [whooping] Whoo-oooo, oooo-oooo, oooo-oooo!
    • Crazy credits
      There are no opening credits (for music composer, producers, screenplay and directors, etc.) after the title of the film, "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron", appears. However, in the 2010s it's perfectly normal for major films to not have opening credits.

    • If the other horses were sentient enough to see themselves in a position of bondage under the humans, why did they cooperate with them so much?
