The golden filly and black colt are alone.
A violent thunderstorm shakes the land and scatters the herd. He protects her from possible danger, however, and Esperanza realizes that he has no intentions to harm her. He makes the filly suspicious, however, and she avoids him as much as possible. Here, Esperanza meets various horses her age, and the one named Strider takes a particular liking to her. Alma decides to integrate with a larger herd for more protection. Unfortunately, Alicia, Esperanza's best friend, is amongst the mares that separate.Įsperanza is particularly worried about Midnight, an older mare that slowed them all down. They had no stallion, thus they were more likely to split up, so six turn to three: Midnight, Aspen, Willow. Her mother, Alma, takes over and attempts to get to better terrain with the six other horses. She is last seen happily approaching him when he returns with his new mate, Rain.Īs a filly, the Lead Mare and Stallion die, leaving the Herd decimated. She turns to the herd in sadness to lead them away, leaving Spirit captive. She tries feebly to rescue Spirit when he is finally roped, but Spirit stops her and tells her to turn and take the herd to safety. Her son returns, seemingly untouched, believing he lost the humans, but they all flee in fear when the humans catch up to Spirit, who has lead them straight to his herd.
Beckoned over by her son, she wants him to ignore it and stay, but Spirit insists. She is very proud she has raised a strong and responsible leader, but something strange comes to the land that night, after Spirit rescues the two foals from a cougar. As he and the other foals grow, she and the herd put up with their crazy antics, Spirit's especially, until he becomes an adult and takes over the herd. In the film, Esperanza first appears in labor as she brings a foal into the world, which turns out to be a colt: Spirit. She has a quiet confidence in herself and a knowledge of the range that encourages the other mustangs to follow her. She has a strong, slim build and is muscular, with a beautiful delicate head and curved back.Įsperanza is a free-spirited, gentle, and caring mare and mother.
While it isnt the worst Dreamworks has done, it's not their best.Esperanza is a palomino mustang mare with two white stockings on her back legs, and a white blaze on the center of her face. I think more kids would be bored with Spirit than find it really funny or engaging. It has too many distracting features, characters aren't interesting, and it isn't well paced at all. The only thing I really like about the film is the villain played by James Cromwell, who plays a great bastard but actually has his limits, and I do like how the villain isn't killed off, in fact the villain knows he's beat and gives up, which I don't see in a lot of films.
Many characters aren't interesting, and the music sounds far too, well, 80s sounding that it just feels off for this kind of film. Also the film is really also not all that interesting, the neighing gets old REALLY fast, and it's not very engaging. I feel that might've been what they originally had planned but scrapped it for some reason. But even then, they humanize the horse way too much, to the point that it just becomes distracting and I would've wanted him to talk. Now I like it that this film has a non-talking animal for once, but what is the point of giving him a narrative then if he isn't gonna talk? you already have him convey emotions well without dialogue with his facial expressions. It's the fact that the main character has a narration but doesn't talk. what I mean by that is that this film has one extremely fatal fault. I really feel this film was lost potential.
