Talk:Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

special appeal to young kids
My girls were addicted to this movie when they were around age 4 and 5. They still love this movie now three years later. I bet they have watched this DVD over 100 times in the past three years. They'd pick this movie over any Disney animation with no hesitation at all. My theory is that this movie almost have no dialog except for some brief narrations. I guess a purely visual movie with a good story appeals more to young kids than a wordy one. The same phenomenon was observed in other groups too. My kids went to a kid's birthday party and a group of over 10 kids glued to the TV watching this DVD. When the adult popped in Disney's Toy Story 2 after this movie, only one quarter of the kids stayed. Anyone with similar observation? 67.117.82.1 01:44, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

>I know a lot of teenager who don't like this movie because horses dont speak. I'm 16 ans I think the movie wouldnt have been that good if animals were speaking. Anyway, you're right, young children love this movie and I think it's because they can understand what the horses are "saying". I remember when I was a child, I couldn't understand some disney movies because they used some words I didn't know.

I really love the MOVIE! I'm 18-year-old, and I love it so much...--chimerarc-- Do anyone knows its BGM? Pls give me the list... chimerarc@yahoo.com

Thank you...

Kinger mustangs
Someone contributed the information below at some point. I'm not sure how to merge it into the article properly - it seems more like this info would be more relevent at an article about Kinger mustangs themselves. I'm sticking it in the Talk in case anyone wants to have a go at revising or moving it sometime. --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 23:26, Apr 28, 2005 (UTC)

"There were no "Kingers" (or "Kigers" either) in the western US in those days! Most of the stock there, and then, was descended from the Conquistador's war horses(the true, pure Spanish mustangs, not the B.L.M.'s mixed modern breeds of today), and possibly the ponies of the early Norse explorers(the Indian's pintos). Some mustangs may even have traced back to horses brought over by the Phoenicians (that were origionaly imported by these ancient seafarers from Iberia, so they were also Spanish). Contact the University of Kentucky for an analysis of the genetics of the modern Kiger horse breed."

It does not belong here. Plus, in the fictional work of Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron, Spirit is referred to as a Kiger Mustang. Despite the questionable historic accuracy, it is a movie and the Kiger comment is canon. Wolfie the Marshmallow 22:55, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Reeks of Los Angeles political correctness
Although it's not a Disney movie,it still has the crappy reverse racism and peace-and-love new age junk. Are you a racist? Honestly, racists are CRAP Do you mind if I delete your 'post'? And what does this have to do with the actual article???? Oh, and you need psychiatric help by the way. What's wrong with 'peace-and-love' 'new age' "junk"? Oh, and peace and love are not new age. They have been around since time immemorial. AND you should sign your post with those little curly things below the esc button on your keyboard. If you push SHIFT, then they will come up. If you aren't a member, that will sign with your IP code.MorwenofLossarnarch 01:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

PS: To the guy above me, those wiggly things are called "tlides".

Is this worth mentioning?
A lot of people on sites such as DeviantART, Fanart-Central etc have adopted the style of artwork the movie has over the past years - an overwhelming amount of people, actually. It is often called "Spirit Style." I didn't see it mentioned anywhere (maybe I'm blind) and I don't know if it is really relevant or not, I just thought it might be interesting to add. It might be part of the Popular Culture section or something.. I don't know, as I said it might not be worth mentioning, I just wanted to put it out there.

Plot Section
Condensed the first few paragraphs a lot.. but it doesn't even show. Ughh I am feeling pretty lazy right now so I gave up. If anyone else is even paying attention to this article, I encourage you to edit much more.. the Plot section was waaay too descriptive in my opinion, it was more of a storytelling than a summary. Yeah, I know.. this article isn't important, but whatever. Luloah. (talk) 12:39, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

"Controversy"
Can someone delete the controversy section? Not only is none of it cited, which makes me think it was probably fabricated, but to call this film a piece of "Native American revisionism" because it portrays the US cavalry treating the Lakota tribe unfavorably is pretty much the same calling Holocaust films "Jewish revisionism" because the Nazis are the bad guys. The (broken) Treaty of Fort Laramie and the Wounded Knee Massacre actually, y'know, happened. To the tribe in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.190.159.148 (talk) 17:32, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Franchise site
This movie needs a franchise site after all the TV series and Specials on Netflix. That would make it much esaier to navigate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pederjo99 (talk • contribs) 03:37, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
