I was very excited to hear that Dreamworks was coming out with an animated series based on the movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. However, upon further investigation, I found that the have totally ruined it! And heres why:
1: Spirit now has a white blaze going down his forehead. He did not have this in the original. So why the change?
2: Spirit's mom, Esperanza, and his female companion Rain are now gone. Replaced by meaningless characters, one of them actually looks just like Esperanza. Why take out two intricate characters of the story?
3:Spirit took place in the 1800's, but the new series takes place in modern time? How do I know this? The toys and cover art that was released show girls who are wearing modern attire. So what, did Spirit teleport to the modern age or is he immortal or something. Again, just doesn't make sense.
4: Spirit is being ridden! He was the horse that was never meant to be tamed or ridden, yet there he is. Being ridden by a 12 year old in like 2016, who isnt even native American.
5:Spirit was nominated for an academy award for best animated picture. Thats huge! Why would they spit on such an accomplishment? Spirit has also won and been nominated for many other awards. They can be found here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit:_Stallion_of_...
6:Why is this all the sudden like my little pony and equestrian girls or whatever its called? As if guys dint love this movie too? Why did they change the audience?? This is going to ruin the cherished childhood memories of so many people who loved this movie!
So why did they make these changes? I'd say corporate greed. They know that they can somehow mil this and make a good solid profit. Which is weird because I feel like they could make way more if they kept the continuity of the story.
So PLEASE sign and share this petition to either have Spirit: Riding free changed to how it SHOULD be, or canceled all together! Thank you!

The original Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron was made with the passion and desire to tell a good story about a wild and free stallion. Spirit: Riding Free and Spirit: Untamed we’re made just for cash grabs.
They should be ashamed of what they did. I loved the original movie and still do. I'm extremely upset about the removal of Rain and Esperanza. I was hoping for a continuation of the movie, but I'd rather have no second movie than to have this animation ruin Spirit's reputation.
I have loved spirit ever since I saw it and when it was continued, I was so happy. But this is not how i like it. The spirit of the untameable Wild West is ruined by some random girls and there are cheap knockoffs of rain and Esperanza. PLEASE STICK TO THE STORYLINE
The entire point of the movie was that Spirit couldn't be ridden, only by little creek. HE'S A MUSTANG, NOT A KIDS PONY. Make a second one, or something, but do not ruin it for the people who grew up with him.
I love sprit. He was my favorite movie and I would hate to see him change because that's not sprit. And how they have them just riding them I haven't see the show or anything but sprit is about the connect between the rider and the horse it's not just about fun and games on horseback.
I was a kid when I fist watched this move im 21 right now and still yearn for the 2 movie to come out im so confused as to why they made it into a cartoon no one even likes it. Literally has a 75% rating compared to the original film at 100% since its relase dude come on I have bought the original movie time and time again because I genuinely love it its so beautiful and touching its a film that will never be forgotten compared to this laughable thing called a sequel im so hurt 💔
They ruined the original movie's beauty.

Spirit is my favourite movie ever. And I was torn that we never got a Spirit 2. And now I see this ? Spirit has such a rich story line and has so much potential to make an amazing sequel. This is utter rubbish.
