My girls have been eagerly awaiting the release of the movie to Blu-Ray/DVD after seeing it On Demand back in June. As soon as the movie ended, they turned to me and told me that we needed to get this on DVD or Blu-ray, so that they could watch it over and again. Ever since Spirit Riding Free started airing on Netflix years ago, both of my girls were hooked on the show. Being animal lovers and fans of animated television series, it wasn't hard to see why they loved this show. And, I found myself stopping what I was doing to watch an episode or two with them. And, when the holidays and birthdays rolled around, Spirit Riding Free toys, books and bedding was always top on their wish lists. So, when they heard that there would an actual movie releasing in theaters, they were over the moon excited. The girls had a few of their friends, who are also huge Spirit Riding Free fans, buy the On Demand movie so that they could have a screening party together of Zoom. It was so cute to listen to the girls talking throughout the movie about their favorite parts, and at the end cheer and clap as the movie was even better than they expected.
Now, a few short months later, I was able to make my girls' day again when i received an advanced copy of the Blu-Ray/DVD of SPIRIT UNTAMED, for them to enjoy again and again. And, what makes this new Blu-Ray/DVD release great is that it contains more than an hour of bonus content. Insert loud cheering and screaming sounds -- as this is what I heard for what seemed like 2 minutes straight, after I handed off the Blu-Ray/DVD over to the girls. They had no idea about all the bonus content which included sing-along videos, deleted scenes, "Finding Your Spirit" which is a behind the scenes look at the cast and filmmakers, and fun hands on activities for kids to make the most of their SPIRIT UNTAMED movie night -- think a DIY indoor campfire and snack time s'mores. :-)
My girls started off with the bonus content, and loved it all! Then, they watched the movie for the second time. Even though they saw it a few months earlier, they watched it and reacted to different parts like it was their first time seeing it. To say my girls were excited to finally own the Blu-Ray/DVD combo of SPIRIT UNTAMED is an understatement. Just the the first time they watched this movie On Demand, they both gave this movie two thumbs up. They can't wait to watch it again this weekend when we make an indoor campfire and enjoy s'mores together.
If your kids are fans of Lucky, Spirit and the Spirit Riding Free animated series and franchise, then I highly recommend you pick up this new Blu-Ray/DVD combo, or purchase on Digital. This full-length movie is available now on Digital, with the Blu-Ray and DVD versions releasing on August 31st.
More about this Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Release:
"SPIRIT UNTAMED is a story of adventure, family and friendship. Free-spirited Lucky Prescott moves to Miradero to join her estranged father. She is decidedly unimpressed with the sleepy town until she discovers a unique tie to her late mother who was a fearless horse-riding stunt performer. She quickly forms a bond with a wild mustang named Spirit and makes two new pals who love horses as much as she does. When a heartless wrangler plans to capture Spirit and his herd, Lucky and her friends set off on an epic journey to rescue the horse who has given her an unbreakable connection to her mother’s legacy.
