Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

This is one of the four animated films that got owned at the Oscars by Spirited Away, the others being Ice Age, Lilo & Stitch, and Treasure Planet.

It's a story of the Old West being told by the point-of-view of a stallion. In the movie, the horses don't talk, so the story is narrated by Matt Damon as the main horse.

The music choice in the movie is pretty interesting, Hanz Zimmer does the orchestrated music while Bryan Adams fills out the soundtrack. In other words, Bryan Adams is to Stallion of the Cimarron, as AC/DC is to Maximum Overdrive.

This is definitely one of my favorites. I want to know who at Dreamworks thought that they could make a horse movie that guys will also like, and freakin' pulled it off, because I want to shake their hand and say, "You, my friend, are a genius."
