Spirit Untamed Gallops Into Theatres
Rated PG with a run time of 88 minutes, Spirit Untamed tells the story of Lucky meeting Spirit in the town of Miradero, where her father lives. The true friendship blossoms under unlikely circumstances, and is a wonderful backstory to our favorite Dreamworks series.

Scarlett and I had a chance to view the film and it was so much fun! While we have watched Spirit Riding Free with each other over the past few seasons, it’s always refreshing to have more of a backstory to both Lucky and Spirit. For instance, we got to see how friendships with human gals Pru and Abigail formed, as well as seeing the other wild horses and Spirit runs (literally) with! While the film was less than an hour and a half, it was a little repetitive for an adult, but exciting, enchanting, and the perfect length for horse-loving kiddos like mine.
Direct from Scarlett, “I loved Spirit the movie. It was the best horse movie that I’ve seen. I loved when Lucky met new friends. They were BFFs forever. Lucky’s dad never let her on a horse. She got yelled at. She yelled back to her dad. She got in trouble. She was the best horse rider in the world after she met Spirit. Lucky did not have reins or a saddle, but she never gave up.”

Spirit Untamed Synopsis:
An epic adventure about a headstrong girl longing for a place to belong who discovers a kindred spirit when her life intersects with a wild horse, Spirit Untamed is the next chapter in the beloved story from DreamWorks Animation.
Lucky Prescott (Isabela Merced, Dora and the Lost City of Gold) never really knew her late mother, Milagro Navarro (Eiza González, Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw), a fearless horse-riding stunt performer from Miradero, a small town on the edge of the wide-open frontier.
Like her mother, Lucky isn’t exactly a fan of rules and restrictions, which has caused her Aunt Cora (Academy Award® winner Julianne Moore) no small amount of worry. Lucky has grown up in an East Coast city under Cora’s watchful eye, but when Lucky presses her own luck with one too many risky escapades, Cora picks up stakes and moves them both back with Lucky’s father, Jim (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal), in Miradero.
Lucky is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy little town. She has a change of heart when she meets Spirit, a wild Mustang who shares her independent streak, and befriends two local horseback riders, Abigail Stone (Mckenna Grace, Captain Marvel) and Pru Granger (Marsai Martin, Little). Pru’s father, stable owner Al Granger (Emmy winner Andre Braugher, Fox’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine), is the best friend of Lucky’s father.
When a heartless horse wrangler (Emmy nominee Walton Goggins, FX’s Justified) and his team plan to capture Spirit and his herd and auction them off to a life of captivity and hard labor, Lucky enlists her new friends and bravely embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rescue the horse who has given her freedom and a sense of purpose, and has helped Lucky discover a connection to her mother’s legacy and to her Mexican heritage that she never expected.
