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.

Alternate versions
The Hulu print adds the 2013 Universal Pictures logo.

9/10

Not the tired Disney formula.

There's no song and dance numbers, and the ponies don't break out into song whenever they're blue or lonely. That's enough to rate this film very highly. The storyline has a lot of symbolism in it, from the captivity of Spirit as well as that of the other horses, and the 'lessons' the movie tries to teach us in the bad guy vs the good guy, the bad guy being Army, and the good guy being Lakota. You'll like the movie. It'll make you think, and your kids will adore it.
