Spirit Riding Free
Spirit Riding Free is an American animated television series, produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and distributed by Netflix, based on the 2002 Oscar-nominated traditionally animated film, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and the first series in the Spirit franchise. The series was first released on Netflix on May 5, 2017.
A feature film based on the series, titled Spirit Untamed, was released on June 4, 2021.
Set in the small frontier town of Miradero during the early 1900s, a 12-year-old girl named Fortuna "Lucky" Esperanza Navarro Prescott, who had recently relocated from the city, encounters a wild kiger mustang named Spirit Jr. (the son of Spirit and Rain from the 2002 movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron). When Lucky is on the train travelling to Miradero, the horse is caught by wranglers and brought to Miradero to be "broken in". Lucky immediately bonds with the stallion and frees him from his pen. Lucky also makes friends with Prudence "Pru" Granger and Abigail Stone. Pru owns a talented and proud palomino horse called Chica Linda, and Abigail owns a friendly and goofy pinto horse called Boomerang. The three girls call themselves the PALs and go on many adventures with their horses.
The first season premiered on May 5, 2017. The eighth and final season premiered on April 5, 2019.
The voice director for the first three episodes was Ginny McSwain. Katie McWane took over as voice director after that.
Spirit Riding Free: Season 1–4, containing all of the episodes from seasons 1–4, was released on DVD on June 5, 2018, by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and grossed $668,194. On September 24, 2019, Universal released Spirit Riding Free: Season 5–8, containing all of the episodes from seasons 5–8 on DVD.
