Character Marquettes - Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron

Recently discovered that Dreamworks held an exhibit in 2023 dedicated to some of the character models their animation team used!

Spirit marquette by Kent Melton

love that he’s doing his concept art pose! his official breyer model is in the same pose as well

Rain looking GORGEOUS as per usual, her marquette was sculpted by Shane Zalvin

Mama Esperanza…. looks like she’s pregnant with spirit in the second photo? or is it just the angle?

marquettes are typically sculpted early in film development, i wonder if they had an earlier scene in mind with her being pregnant while leading the cimarron herd

either way she is STUNNINGGGG slay mama

hey!! are you familiar with return to freedom? it’s a wild horse conservatory where the actual model for spirit lives !!

i am !! recently, return to freedom hosted a birthday event for donner (the model for spirit) who was born may 9th

production for spirit stallion of the cimarron began in 1998, donner (later renamed spirit) was just three years old at the time

in april 2002, after production was complete, donner was gifted to return to freedom horse rescue sanctuary to live with wild horses

the event was called “ spirit of the horse “ and raised funds to help feed and care for the rescued horses and burros at the sanctuary

there was even a special healing ceremony for spirit (donner,) the horses, the land, and all of those in attendance led by Diné (Navajo) healers. a friendship circle and a traditional song and dance followed

after 24 years, it’s beautiful to know that spirit’s platform is still helping wild horses and letting indigenous voices be heard
