Lucky Prescott went to live with her grandparents after the death of her mother in a riding accident. But a squirrel-based disaster sees Lucky and her aunt sent to spend the summer with the father she hardly knows, in a frontier town on the Mexican border. Against her father’s wishes, Lucky forms a bond with Spirit, a wild mustang stallion, and, together with new pals Prudence and Abigail, she sets out to rescue Spirit’s herd from rustlers. Handsome animation adds to the appeal of this sequel to the 2002 animation Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, but this is family entertainment that’s quite niche in its appeal – pony-mad kids will love it, but it may test the patience of parents.
