History Heartwarming / SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron

--> '''Spirit:''' The story that I want to tell you cannot be found in a book. They say the history of the West was written on the saddle of the horse... but it's never been told from the ''heart'' of one. Not till now. I was born here, in this place that would come to be called 'The Old West'. But to my kind, the land was ageless. It had no beginning, and no end. No boundary between earth and sky. Like the wind in the Buffalo grass, we belonged here... we would always belong here. They say the mustang is the Spirit of the West. Whether that West was won or lost in the end, you'll have to decide for yourself. But the story I want to tell you is true. I was there. And I remember... I remember the sun and the sky, and the wind calling my name, in a time when wild horses ran ''free.''

* Spirit finally letting Little Creek ride him. It doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome as he allows him in order for them to escape the Colonel's army together.

* If the whole "Horsey" scene with the little Lakota toddler and Spirit doesn't make you go "d'awwww", you obviously sold your soul for a bag of peanuts.
** Even more so when Spirit quickly goes from annoyed with the toddler grabbing his nose to instantly comforting and nuzzling her and especially the little smile on his face with the toddler leaves; given how he previouslt felt about humans, it's a small but lovely scene.
* Only a small moment, but a telling one nonetheless. Just before Spirit's loaded onto the train and 'Sound the Bugle' starts up, one of train workers pets him kindly and speaks calmly to him, saying that it'll be alright. It's good to see there are 'two-leggeds' that treat horses with genuine compassion, and who ''aren't'' Lakota.

* Spirit [[spoiler:finally letting Little Creek ride him. It doubles as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome as he allows him in order for them to escape the Colonel's army together.]]
** The moment after [[spoiler:they escaped the Colonel at the end]], in which Spirit [[spoiler:allows Little Creek to ride him so they can return home. Especially since this is a CallBack to the moment earlier during their training in which Spirit trolled Little Creak by making him think he would let him ride him, only to throw him out.]]
* In a weird sort of way, [[spoiler: the Colonel's decision to let Spirit and Little Creek go. He even goes so far as to stop one of his men from shooting and killing the pair of them, before sharing a nod of acknowledgement and respect with Spirit for all he has done (not least of all, jumping a freaking CANYON to escape).]] It's a WorthyOpponent moment at its finest.
* Spirit [[spoiler:reuniting with Esperanza at the end,]] to the fitting music of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVWQkah4xTQ "I Will Always Return".]]

* Spirit's reunion with Rain after [[spoiler:he'd thought she'd been killed]]. Just... ''d'aaaaawwwwwww!!!''

** The understatedness of said reunion. It's like she always knew he'd be back.

** Without even watching the film, try and read the quote while listening to the accompanying soundtrack [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_5PUrquBtw "Homeland"]] without getting chills. Not an easy task.
