This show is utterly gross. It ruined the movie, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and disgraced spirit. It seems to be set in modern days, and I was instantly turned off. The show ruined the whole message of the movie with being free and unbroken. I originally thought that maybe they were trying to bring spirit back using one of his kin, maybe a horse that was related to him by blood, but as I watched, it made no sense. The horse looks like Spirit, and it seems they are trying to make it seem as if it was Spirit. The show's CGI looks bad, the characters are still and it looks as if there was no effort put into anything. I first saw the background and was disgusted by how simple the bushes and trees were. The movie had so much effort. It took 4 years to make the movie and it combined both CGI and 2D animation in a way that I personally could hardly tell in most cases. It honestly just puts to shame the movie. I don't understand how someone could ruin such an astonishing movie.
I see how children could watch this and enjoy it, but the amusement only ranges there. I loved this movie as a kid and I was excited when I saw this show on Netflix, but I was angered quickly. I personally see this show as a disgrace to the movie, and that is a high understatement. I recommend showing your kids the movie before the show, if at all the show since there is so much more emotion and effort in it. I highly discourage watching the series at all.
