Hello

spirit was literally my childhood, expecially the start omg brings back nostalgia man.. i really need to rewatch this masterpiece!

Thank you for reacting to this movie this childhood for me. Watching this with you is awesome

Awesome! My little brother and I Love the Croods! My younger brother and I love watching your videos! We met your channel when you were just uploading the Toy Story 3 reaction and right then we fell in love with your reactions! We are always so excited for Mondays and Fridays when you upload your newest reactions! My opinion the first movie of Croods is way better then the second but you might like the second too!

I know people are excited for croods but croods a new age is my favorite so I'm excited for that

Amen!

That and the series. You probably would believe the rant my bff (who I only met because of this movie) and I had when I saw the cgi monstrosity

AMEN!!!!!!

☝️

Yup.

(I'm looking at you, 3D Walking with Dinosaurs)

This movie was part of my childhood, and still easily in my top 10 animated films. Maybe even top 5. It's so unique, and has one of the best soundtracks of any animated movie I've seen. I have the entire soundtrack on my phone, and sometimes listen to it like I would any other music. The soundtrack is perfect at setting the mood of a scene and expressing the feelings of the characters. "Brothers Under the Sun", "Sound the Bugle", "You Can't Take Me", and "Get Off My Back" are some of my favourite pieces. "Sound the Bugle" in particular can make my cry even when I'm not watching the movie, and I'm just listening to it. The lyrics remind me of how I remember feeling at my lowest point I can remember. When I just wanted to lie down and give up. I didn't know how I could get through what I was dealing with, and I started thinking "What's the point of even trying? What am I getting out of bed for? There are probably people in this world who deserve all the good things I have more than me.". I hardly ate or slept, and was prone to crippling anxiety from university work that would leave me hyperventilating and shaking. I tried antidepressants for a while, but though they seemed to help at first, they eventually started to have the opposite effect and began to make things worse, so I had to stop. This depression hit me in the Fall of 2020, and got to its worst point in probably Winter or early Spring. I have since felt better, but I'm going to need a long break from university to recover. Now, whenever I hear the song, I remember how I felt before, and tears start flowing. Even before that, the lyrics have always had a strong impact on me. As you said, Sprit truly is a masterpiece.

Honestly I'm surprised this approach wasn't used more often for kids movies about animals, the narration basically just reiterates what happens on screen, but a kid can watch it and get a sense of what's happening, without needing to remember details from the dialogue. You could watch it in another language and still understand everything that happens. It's really cool, and having watched it as a young kid it's so well suited to movies for children.

(also giving the stinkeye to Lion King 2019)

Yeah. Everyone talks about movies like the Lion King but not many people talk about this one. It's kinda sad though since, on a narrative, artistic, and thematic level, this movie is better than Lion King imo.

No one talks about it cuz now its looked at as the girl horse series. When the movie came first and its the best damn thing ever. It will forever be one of my childhood favorite movie!

@@victoriagreer7609 Seems like pretty much every single 2d Dreamworks movie is hardly talked about nowadays. I couldn't tell you the last time I heard someone mention Prince of Egypt, Sinbad, Road to El Dorado, or Spirit outside of KZfaq comment sections that related to those movies specifically or reaction requests. Oh well, at least WE'RE talking about it.

Its HIGHLY, no, SEVERELY underrated. It's so great

@@teamtx1578 we will be here. Always

I don’t cry alot anymore but that’s just because i have seen it to many times.

Hans Zimmer has a direct line to my tear ducts. Every time. This movie, Lion King, anything he composes for I end up bawling.

Sames.....i cry every time i watch it.

I had the chills as I cried

Same. I even have the original disk to this movie.

He kinda was broken

@@-Clutch- It was unbroken, he's the only one who can approve someone to ride him.

Bryan Adams: "Hey man let's do it together!" Hans Zimmer: "Perfect. Let's do this!"

So perfect!!

Directors, actually

The opening scene from the eagel flying to the horses mane turning into grass is 1 scene with no cuts For the different dubs (german, spanish ect) the songs werent dubbed but translated and sung by a person from the country/language When spirit is running with his herd then splits to stand on the bluff its very hard to tell where they switched from the 3d model to 2d animation unless you know what youre looking for Despite being gone, i want to say roughly a year, spirits foals have not aged

This is also one of the first (if not the first) cartoon movies to combine hand drawn and CGI flawlessly. Though its more noticeable now with the people, the 360 spin arounds with Spirit on the hill have at least 5 moments where he goes from CGI to hand drawn. The scene with them in the river also was all CGI except the characters and the splashes they made.

Same here!

prince of egypt too

Agreed

@@azaribrooks3896 yes

Don’t forget Sinbad and Road to El Dorado

Yes, please! I can see just how his reaction to Prince of Egypt would be epic!!

Prince of Egypt, El Dorado, and Chicken Run!! XD

@@shanerose7204 and Joseph then all the 2d ones will be done

He needs to do all of the older DreamWorks.

Put Hans Zimmer and Bryan Adams together and you get one of the best soundtracks to ever come out of an animated movie.

The soundtrack it's the best of movie. All emotions been for music

Rick Gore the horseman. On his KZfaq channel: think like a horse is 😩👌

Makes sense. I mean if you break them, the horse does not respect you, it fears you. That’s not a good way to bond with any animal.

@@madelinestraumanis219 Yep. But it doesn't mean horses are automatically perfect, most of them are drama queens that will spook at their own farts. And flip out because their food was five minutes late. So you do need to break them of bad habits, but don't break their spirit. (hee hee)

@@rubysilverstar7086 yep but we love them anyway

@@fatcat5817 Rick is the bee's knees, and all his critters!

And it worked out perfectly.

Best decision they could make

@@arthurgabriel4325 yeah, we still hear his thoughts, but nothing directly said :> it adds so much to the character I think.

Honestly, I preferred that. Keep the animals as realistic as possible but let tge music be their language to us. 💙

@@ADifferentVibe yeah, we still get a bit of his inner monologue, but that's different then him speaking :> I love movies like lion king and such but when you have this human and animals together you need something different.

I imagine he came back with rain and their foal

@@RaychelD2400 Bro, stahp. I'm gonna cry. 😭✋

I like to think spirits herd ended up living near the Lakota tribe and moving as they moved

Thank you for this, I never knew her name.

Me neither, thanks

You do know it's Matt Damon, right?

@@hannahhester8376 I know

MAtt Damon was a weird choice. I don't think it hurts the movie too much though

I disagree, I think it would become a weird, indie movie if it was silent all the time. The narration makes it feel more intimate for me

Yeah, it's a little distracting watching ad an adult, but it makes sense it's there. They were taking a chance making a movie with so little dialogue, and probably assumed some kids would have trouble following it. But honestly, they probably could have gotten away without it. The lack of plot points introduced through dialogue you have to remember made it really easy to follow for me personally, as a kid, and I'm surprised more movies about animals didn't take a similar approach after this one. That said, though it feels a bit out of place sometimes, it's well written so I find it pretty inoffensive. All it does is reiterate what happened in case the kiddos don't get it 🤷‍♀️

@@jgfkdkmoviecorner8438 For real that was a handful of a name 😂

@@solescorpionofficial Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore 2010 Full Movie Comedy what movie name plz

Luckily it isn’t as dark as a Disney movie

It's the 2nd best DreamWorks movie behind prince of egypt

It's my favorite too

DreamWorks also has the 1st 2 Transformers movies under their belt.

Hes hunting the natives out of the land so i think the fact that spirit is with little creek is why that happens 😂

Agreed. The visual storytelling in this movie is what really makes it special. You can't find too many animated films out there like this.

already? Time goes by fast

This movie was my childhood too, haven't watched in along time, but I also appreciate the series and movie sequel as it is now, and am not disappointed at any of it, as I see it kinda on its own part thing. I thought the second was, though compared to the first not as, but still is special, for what it shows in its own.

Your father has really good taste in movies🤣. For real though, this is one of my favorites too for the very reason you just described.

@@teamtx1578 lmao XD i meant as in favorite in animated movies category but thanks :)

@@ad1kher0gaming71 So did I.

I used to watch this one all the time when I was a kid. I think I might buy it on Blu-Ray someday just so I could reexperience it in glorious 1080p.
