I was rewatching the OG Spirit the other day and there's definitely a lot to say about this highly underrated feature, but for something less people seem to talk about, I was kinda surprised to see how similar it was to the movie versions of How to Train Your Dragon at least in terms of certain concepts and story beats across the trilogy, you can even make a case that it's a template for HTTYD3 but from the perspective of Light Fury.

What I'm really getting at here is that I think Little Creek and Hiccup should be friends.

#Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron #How To Train Your Dragon #animated features #dreamworks animation #Little Creek *handshake* Hiccup #resident goofballs in their village befriending wild animals in spite of how everyone else thinks it'd be a lost cause at first #and showing that friendship > control for animal companions esp. in the face of invaders who try to control and abuse animals for their end #and animal companion bumping snoot into human hand as a sign of trust and yes I know that's a trope in animal films in general but shhh #bare minimum I really wanna see a HTTYD AU of Spirit now #just consider for a bit translating some of the horse designs into dragons #That'd just be really cool
