YMMV: Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The film was scored by Hans Zimmer, and it shows. Probably the best bit of scoring is this magnificent instrumental piece, called "Run Free."
  • Narm: The bored-as-hell narration from Matt Damon, though some folks found it appropriately quiet and understated.
    • Spirit "crying" over the wounded Rain.
  • Somewhere An Equestrian Is Crying: A stallion is never the leader of a herd; a mare is. Stallions guard the back.
  • Tear Jerker: The "Sound the Bugle" sequence.
    • Spirit's capture. Particularly Esperanza attempting to pick her way down the cliff to him, then giving the most heartbroken whinny when he cries out to dissuade her.
    • It's also impossible to watch the scene where Little Creek and Spirit part for the last time without feeling a little choked up.
      • "Take good care of her, Spirit who could not be broken."
  • Uncanny Valley: The weirdly intelligent horses with eyebrows drop some viewers into it.
