The latest installment in the \u201cSpirit: Stallion of the Cimarron\u201d horse franchise \u2014 which has mindbogglingly been in existence for 19 years \u2014 is \u201cSpirit Untamed.\u201d <\/p>\n

It\u2019s closer to a state fair pony ride than a rousing Western adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A general<\/a> criterion for a kids movie is that you should be able to remember the villain \u2014 their voice, look, catchphrase. Well, right now I can more easily picture the cashier at Trader Joe\u2019s than the baddie of \u201cSpirit Untamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The entire plot is just as bland. A little girl named Lucky (voiced by Isabela Merced) goes to live with her widowed father (Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a>) out West after she embarrasses her granddad, who\u2019s running for governor, at a party. She feels like a fish out of water till she meets Spirit, a wild horse who\u2019s been captured and put to work in the rodeo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While attempting to ride him unsupervised \u2014 great idea! \u2014 Spirit gets loose, and the two go on a dangerous adventure through the mountains, along with her two horse-obsessed pals Pru (Marsai Martin) and Abigail (Mckenna Grace).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Because this is a modern movie with a female empowerment message, Lucky is instantly able to ride a wild stallion without so much as a training montage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most of the challenges they face on their journey are along the lines of \u201cWe can\u2019t cross the river,\u201d or \u201cThe terrain is too rocky.\u201d Eventually, they meet a group of horse thieves \u2014 the aforementioned bad guys, who I don\u2019t know from Adam \u2014 who capture Spirit and his stable of friends. It\u2019s up to the girls to rescue them during a real yawn of a finale.<\/p>\n

Why must I be so mean to this occasionally cute, PG-rated trifle? The bar has been raised in recent years for animated films that get theatrical releases, thanks to Pixar, Disney and DreamWorks (which really dropped the ball with this one). This is, in part, because now family movies<\/a> are true multigenerational experiences that are expected to app<\/a>eal to a wide variety of people and tastes. They\u2019re not only for children anymore. Pathetic 38-year-olds without kids are sitting alone in dark movie theaters sobbing over the fate of a doll named Woody.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpirit Untamed\u201d is, by comparison, extremely infantile, and yet, still less stimulating than many entertainments geared squarely toward infants. I\u2019d rather put \u201cBaby Shark\u201d on repeat all day than spend another 90 minutes with this adult horse.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
