An abandoned zebra grows up believing he is a racehorse, and, with the help of his barnyard friends and a teenage girl, sets out to achieve his dream of racing against the other racehorses.

I have no children and like to believe that I am an Adult, but sometimes kids films are just better!
This isn't Shrek and the humour isn't adult, dont be fooled that this is animated, just because of the film case. The animals are real!

The story is a basic one and although largly based around the zebra who wants to be a racehorse, is a story of a father daughter relationship following the death of the wife/mother in a riding accident. The baby Zebra is lost by the circus and found by an expert horse trainer and named 'stripes' by his teenage daughter. Stripes admires the racehorses and believes that he too is a racehorse and can race with them. Mocked by the racehorse the story follows stripes' struggle to become a trained racehorse and compete in the biggest race of all, the Kentucky derby. Helped by the other barnyard animals he begins training and goes up against the real horses which dislike this strange stripey horse .

Other animals make this film funny to watch including a 'gangster' Stork, 2 Flies which are brothers and a wise pony in a relationship with goat! this film has all the makings for some laugh out loud moments.

Cast (I have indicated which are voices and which are actually in the film ) Frankie Muniz (Voice) Mandy Moore (Voice) David Spade (Voice) Snoop Dogg (Voice) Whoopi Goldberg (Voice) Joe Patoliano (Voice) Dustin Hoffman (Voice) Hayden Panettiere(real) Bruce Greenwood (real)

Release date: June 20, 2005
Production year: 2005

Available to buy now on DVD from all good stores and online.
The DVD is packed with extras includin Out-takes, deleted scenes and alternate endings

Currently retailing at £11.99 (this will come down if you are willing to wait) this film is brilliant for children but worth a watch for those of you who, like me, are still children at heart.
