DreamMachine Episode 8: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

In this episode of DreamMachine, Patricia and Arun discuss about
the 2nd last 2D DreamWorks animated film, the 2002 movie Spirit:
Stallion of the Cimarron. The movie is about a wild stallion
named Spirit who lives a perfect life with his mother and his
herd in the Wild West during the 19th century. However, he's
captured by the U.S. army to tame him to be used to conquer
Native American territory. But he's too wild to be controlled and
befriends a Native American boy named Little Creek. They both
escape and Little Creek returns home to his tribe where Spirit
meets another horse named Rain. Spirit goes through his ups and
downs from falling in love with Rain, being captured again,
escaping from a fire, and reuniting with Little Creek. Will
Spirit return home to his mother and herd? Or will he live a
completely different life not familiar to what he's accustomed
to?  When the movie premiered in theaters, it was a modest
hit making $122 million dollars with an $80 million dollar budget
receiving positive reviews. However, it wasn't a major hit
compared to their previous DreamWorks films, so it was gently
pushed to the side. It wouldn't be until May 5, 2017 that Spirit
would get an animated series on Netflix focusing on a little girl
named Lucky who befriends Spirit and Rain's foal whose also named
Spirit.
