Eric the Clown Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 https://deadline.com/2019/10/dreamworks-animation-2021-releases-spirit-riding-free-the-bad-guys-1202753767/ Quote DreamWorks Animation has added two more feature toons to their 2021 slate, an Untitled Spirit Riding Free movie based on its Netflix series on May 14... Spirit Riding Free‘s origins goes back to the 2002 Oscar-nominated movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron ($122.5M global box office). In 2017, that feature was reimagined by DreamWorks Animation Television as a Netflix original series, Spirit Riding Free, thus igniting interest in the IP among a whole new generation of young girls. Pic will follow headstrong Lucky Prescott, who is forced to move from her big city home to a small frontier town, where she’s a complete fish-out-of-water. But her life is changed forever when she makes new friends and forms an inseparable bond with a wild mustang named Spirit. When Spirit’s herd is captured by rustlers, the girls and their horses must undertake the adventure of a lifetime to save them. Elaine Bogan will direct (director, Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters and 3 Below, Dragons: Race to the Edge) and Karen Foster will produce (co-producer, How To Train Your Dragon). Ennio Torresan (head of story, Abominable and The Boss Baby) will serve as co-director. Spirit Riding Free will be made with a lower-cost production model, similar to what DWA used for the production of 2017’s Captain Underpants ($38M production cost, $125.5M WW box office), thus working creatively with a partner studio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 This sounds like DWA's TTGTTM where it can make money due to a low budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGAN'sLuckyRun Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Will Matt Damon still be in this? If Captain Underroos can afford Kevin Hart then I don't see how they couldn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yandereprime101189 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) The series is basically an animated "girl and her horse" show. It's the furthest thing away from what the original film was. No inner horse narration for one thing. It's alright though.

Eric the Clown Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 It’s still very weird to me this obscure Dreamworks movie has morphed into a horse girl series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) As far as positives go, I think it's very well animated. The color shading is vivid. It seems like there's a lot of heart at the center of the film. I get the sense that the person who wrote the script actually cared about it... Oh, and the voice acting's great, too.

Yandereprime101189 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) It's from the writer of the actual series so that's a plus. Had it on as background noise while doing house work a few years back, it was cute. The film looks to adapt the first season's events. There's a legitimately creepy episode where the characters go into something like an abandoned orphanage that's overrun with wolves.
