Description of Racing Stripes (Widescreen Edition):
When you start watching Racing Stripes, you may not be prepared for how unbelievably cute a young zebra is. A travelling circus accidently abandons an adorably helpless zebra in the middle of Kentucky on a stormy night. Fortunately, the wee zebra is found by Nolan Walsh (Bruce Greenwood, The Sweet Hereafter), a brilliant horse trainer who's given up his calling after a riding accident that killed his wife. His daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere, Raising Helen) names the zebra Stripes and, before you know it, Stripes has grown to young adulthood and is aching to race at a nearby track. Thus begins a fairly formulaic triumph-over-adversity tale combined with talking animals--but Racing Stripes understands its formula and executes it without any pretensions. It doesn't hit the bullseye struck by Babe (an earlier triumph-over-adversity tale combined with talking animals), and there are bad puns and gags aplenty, but Greenwood's solid presence gives the movie an unexpected emotional fullness. Featuring a bizarre assortment of voices for the animals, including Whoopi Goldberg, Dustin Hoffman, Frankie Muniz, Mandy Moore, Joe Pantoliano (as a Mafioso pelican), Steve Harvey, David Spade, and Snoop Dogg. --Bret Fetzer

Racing Stripes DVD
2009-07-09 - We love this movie. It's family oriented with talking horses and a mafia seagull who could steal the show. Happy endings always work.
Great fun. 
2009-03-29 - was great fun and a surprise..never heard of it til I saw it on cable..then had to own it. And with Dustin Hoffman and Michael Clark Duncan, not to mention Whoopie! I'm
a sucker for talking animals.
My 4 year old twins love this movie
2009-01-06 - Yes, there are a few choice words in this video - stupid, idiot, but we have a rule in our house about these words. Otherwise, some of the humor is over their heads and the rest of it is just cute. It reminds me of the talking animals in Charlotte's Web. I think we have now watched this video at least 10 times.
My kids are also animal lovers, so any movie that has real animals they love.
This is a Great Movie
2008-12-03 - I love everything about this movie except for the flies. That could of been left out of the movie for the most part. They weren't funny and was actually kinda DUMB. BUt other than that small part in the movie, I love Racing stripes, I would recommend this movie to any animal movie lover.
