QUICK TAKE:
Computer-Animated Drama/Adventure: Shipped off to live with her father who she barely knows or remembers, a girl sets out with her new friends to rescue and free a group of wild horses from Old West outlaws.
PLOT:

Lucky Prescott (ISABEL MERCED) is a girl whose mother died in a horse-riding stunt when she was just a baby, causing her grief-stricken father, Jim (JAKE GYLLENHAAL), to send Lucky off to live and be raised by her grandfather and aunt, Cora (JULIANNE MOORE). But when Lucky inadvertently makes a spectacle of her grandfather's gubernatorial campaign launch event, he sends her and Cora off to stay with Jim.

On the train ride to the small western town of Miradero, Lucky spots the wild stallion Spirit running alongside the train and is entranced by the horse and his herd. As is outlaw Hendricks (WALTON GOGGINS) and his gang who decide to capture the horses, break them, and sell them off.

Once in town, Lucky quickly makes friends with fellow girls Prudence Granger (MARSAI MARTIN) and Abigail Stone (McKENNA GRACE), but doesn't bond with her father who she really doesn't know. It also doesn't help that based on what happened before, he forbids his daughter from having anything to do with Spirit who's now held in a nearby corral. But after learning about the Hendricks gang's plan, Lucky, Prudence, and Abigail set out to rescue and free the horses.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
An animated movie featuring animals (albeit, not talking ones) could be a draw to kids.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For some adventure action.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
