Foal = any baby horse Filly = a young female horse, grows up into a mare Colt = a young male horse, grows up into a stallion As for where it takes place, uh. somewhere west, anywhere from Nebraska to New Mexico/Colorado. According to google, the 'cimarron' is the foothills of the Rockies (with some sources specifying in New Mexico), and the Lakota lived, historically in what is now Nebraska(but like, they could probably have gone as far as Colorado since it's right there). So, presumably the story starts somewhere around there, then moves out to around the Utah/Arizona border, since the canyon they run through is, apparently the Grand Canyon. So within that general area.
Unrelated fun fact: T. Hawk and Lily from Street Fighter are Lakota people since all of their phrases include Lakota words, so it goes to show how baffling Capcom was to make them the Mexican representatives when Lakota people have nothing in common with the original people from any of the indigenous groups in the whole of Mexico, heck Nebraska wasn't even part of the original territory conquered by the Spaniards!
Also the older I get. The more I appreciate the movie for its deeper themes of colonialism. It’s so refreshing that the US and their western expansion is drawn in the horrible light it deserves to be shown in. There is no glory of manifest destiny in this one. They show you the difference in the native and white colonials not through dialogue but in how they treat nature and spirit. You can even draw parallels to how they treat spirit and how they treat little creek strengthening the parallel that spirit represents the freedom and “spirit” of nature and the native people.
And this might be a bit backwards, but they gave the antagonist a good moment at the end, showing he has honor. That he is in fact not bad at the core, but a shitty human that has been raised with different values. I liked that a lot.
@@kunilsen2519 that and also subtly and probably unintentionally showing that they are only allowed freedom by “earning” their respect. Kind of showing how they view them inherently, unworthy of respect unless earning it through great feats, and then their only reward being allowed to live.
This movie is an underrated gem. It's also pretty groundbreaking. It was made at the time when computer animation was on the rise, and they used a unique blend of hand-drawn and CGI visuals to make the movie. The behind the scenes features about the animation are really interesting.
I never get tired of seeing this movie. This is my younger cousin's favorite movie since he was 2 years old. And he still watches it to this day. They don't make cartoons like this anymore.
No, they definitely don't make animations like this anymore. This was a favorite of mine growing up. Though I loved Horses. But honestly the only other horse movie I watched was Black Beauty and that movie had me crying all the time. But regardless. I love this movie. I like the storyline; I like the adventure and the animation. The soundtracks was perfect and I do this very day still have some of the sounds from this movie on my playlist.
THIS MOVIE LITERALLY MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME. Growing up without much proper indigenous representation this movie has always held a special place in my heart. And the connotations with colonization and the true meaning of freedom is told beautifully in this movie. Thank you for watching it
You should definitely react to Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole I watched it all the time when I was younger. It has amazing animation for its time.
Scoot, you just watched an underrated animated classic right here, although it deserves more praise for how great it is and no, you’re not foolish to think if they encounter predators or not because I too was curious about that a long time ago. I read an article about that and it claims that although cougars or mountain lions do prey on their young, they rarely face any predator, if not, ever since they’re pretty strong and fast for most. In fact, even now, there still a debate of whether or not the horses of America should be running free considering that they were brought by the Europeans ages ago and that the ancestors of these creatures that once lived here have been long extinct after the Native Americans came into the picture. Say what you want, one thing is for certain: the horse has shaped the country as a whole and they’re not going anywhere. Now that you’ve seen it, show this one to your boys so that it can be a part of their childhood, just like it was a part of mine. ✊
This was the first movie I ever saw in theaters, so it’s pretty special to me. Also, I love how Bryan Adams pretty much did for Spirit what Phil Collins did for Tarzan and Elton John did for The Road to El Dorado, went hard on the songs when he didn’t have to. 🤩👏
If Spirit didn’t go and see the humans first they prob would’ve sneaked up and captured a great deal of his family. Him being curious likely saved the rest of his family
The 2002 DreamWorks Animation movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is set in the American West and Southern Utah, and is based on several national parks and Monument Valley: The homeland of the mustangs and Lakota's: Based on Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park, and the Teton mountain range The cavalry outpost: Based on Monument Valley Other filming locations: Grand Canyon in Arizona, Rainbow Bridge in Southern Utah, and the Grand Tetons in Montana The movie is set in the late 19th century during the American Indian Wars and tells the story of a Kiger Mustang stallion named Spirit who is captured by the United States Cavalry.
Glad to see that you're liking this movie. This got me into horses and has had a big impact on my childhood. Spirit, the Stallion of Cimmaron is truly a masterpiece. I like to think that ever since you've reacted to MLP you're gonna love this one
You have to watch the movie "The cure 1995"!! Its so good! Heres what its about: Having just moved to a new town, Erik (Brad Renfro) is thrilled when he makes friends with his younger neighbor, Dexter (Joseph Mazzello), and his friendly mom (Annabella Sciorra). Despite the disapproval of his own neglectful mother (Diana Scarwid), Erik grows close to Dexter, who suffers from AIDS. As the disease's impact on Dexter's life grows more noticeable, Erik and Dexter embark on a quest to New Orleans down the Mississippi River, where hope may yet lie with a doctor there.
You should take a look at the movie, Ferngully. It has Robin Williams in it and it's an older movie centered around caring about the environment/the rainforest.
Horse herds are social groups of horses that provide security, rest, and opportunities to find food and water: Structure A typical herd consists of mares, their offspring, and one or more stallions. A herd's leader is usually an older mare with a lot of experience and knowledge. A lead stallion defends the herd and intervenes in conflicts. Herds and harems A wild herd of 110-130 horses can divide into about 25 smaller herds called harems. A harem is made up of an alpha stallion, sometimes a beta stallion, mares, and their young. Leaving the herd Young mares often leave the herd when they come into season, around three years old. Young males leave the herd at around two to three years old. Introducing new horses When a new horse is introduced to a herd, there is usually a period of increased conflict and aggression. This is a normal process, but it can be stressful for the horses and owners. Herd dynamics Herd dynamics can be determined by regular observations over time. Researchers often use field observations or a "limited resource" test to identify herd hierarchies.
