Pals Lucky, Abigail and Prue return in Spirit Untamed: The Movie, an epic journey brimming with family, friendship and adventure for the entire family.

In the film, 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.

The gorgeously animated film, directed by Elaine Borgan and Ennio Torresan, features the voice talents of Isabela Merced (Dora and the Lost City of Gold),  Marsai Martin (Little), Walton Goggins (“Justified”), Andre Braugher (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Eiza González (Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw), Julianne Moore (Kingsman: The Golden Circle)  and Jake Gyllenhaal (Spider-Man: Far From Home).
