Famous Mustangs: Pt 3 - Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron
Okay okay, not a mustang. But he is, kinda! The creators of the animated film were inspired by a real horse: a Kiger Mustang colt, originally named Donner.
Donner was a colt from an HMA in Burns, Oregon, as part of the Kiger herd. Kigers are famed for their color, stamina, and intelligence.
Animators spent hours watching the colt move, and used him as the model for all of their animation in the film. After completion, he was moved to Return To Freedom’s American Wild Horse Sanctuary in California to live out his days as an ambassador for Mustangs across the nation.
He was also turned into a series of Breyer horses.
As of 2020, Donner is 25, and still full of spunk.
This isn’t just a bad remake or cash grab issues. It doesn’t matter how good or bad this film turns out to be. The very premise of it is deeply at fault. The original Spirit is a film about a horse who couldn’t be tamed bonding with a Lakota man in friendship and mutual respect.
This… no. Just no. Turning it into a young white (oh, i’m sorry, the PR team keeps pointing out she’s ‘half-mexican’) girl saves the wild horses is just awful. Truly disgustingly awful.
There was so much more to Spirit. Spirit was never even really about horse-wranglers being bad. It was about colonization and persecution and attempted erasure of Native American culture. The stripping of freedom. The atrocities committed against native tribes all across America. Spirit being torn from his family, like so many Native families were forcibly torn apart. The way the US soldiers were seeking to break his spirit and tame him so that they could exploit him for profit, as was done to so many Native tribes.
Spirit was never just a horse movie. It was always about so much more.
And they took it and made it into a white girl saves the wild horses from the big bad horse-wranglers movie.
