Frisky and funny enough to please pre-teens, but still witty enough to amuse even those parents who don't recognize Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg and other notables among the unseen vocal talents.

Endearing but predictable.

I think it's funny and you should never bully or exclude the different people, because you never know what kind of potential that they have. This movie is really under rated and should be taken more seriously

Racing Stripes is a really cute animal themed movie starring the amazing Hayden Panettiere. The movie has a sweet storyline about a zebra who dreams of being a racehorse, and teaches children that if they put the effort in they can be whatever they want to be.

Muniz, however, is hampered by Stripes' constant moping, which brings out the "Malcolm in the Middle'' star's whinier tendencies.

Like most movies aimed at the younger set, Racing Stripes has easily absorbable lessons to teach: Be yourself, never stop trying if your goal is worthwhile, and so forth.

At best, Racing Stripes should play nicely to youngsters with the cutoff for enjoyment extending no further than midteens.

Although this film about a zebra who aspires to win horse races has a marvelous premise, it slows to a mediocre canter right out of the starting gate.

Simply put, no matter what this zebra thinks of himself, Stripes is no thoroughbred.

May seem to look friendly at the beginning, but don't let this movie fool you. The comedy in here 99% of the time never works and even if it does, it gets overshadowed by something else.
