Goofs:

Factual errors: There are over fifteen horses in Spirit's herd. In real life, there would be much fewer mares and foals because of overgrazing and bachelor stallions would steal mares. Also, larger herds make for larger targets.

Quotes:

Spirit: I had been waiting so long to run free, but that goodbye was harder than I ever imagined. I'll never forget that boy and how we won back our freedom together.

Important themes

I liked this movie a lot. The animation was well done and the romance was cute. I liked most of Bryan Adams' songs and the Hans Zimmer score was excellent. What a lot of people don't realize is how well it relates to the Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now themes (what happens when so-called "civilization" invades someone elses home, what does it mean to be "civilized" etc.). The opening scenery and music were very stirring. The film is a lament to an America that was once beautiful.
