The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
2002, animated
This movie depicts one aspect of the struggle in the 1800s between American Indians and the European settlement, told from the point of view of a horse. The supreme instance of integrity comes at the very end when one of Spirit's U.S. military pursuers decides to leave him alone after the man has an epiphany in which he gains respect for the horse. Do be aware, however, that there is violence, death and poignant sadness. Please choose accordingly for the very young.
