Instead he relies on the farm for income, so times are very hard for he and his daughter. Stripes has the time of ...

Review of Racing Stripes (DVD)

...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 ...

Bought this on a whim when I found it in the bargain section for £2.99. I first watched it with my parents both in their 60s and the three of us couldn't stop laughing. Watch out for the flies and the pelican they'll have you in stitches. The film about a zebra who is brought up believing he is a horse. Although he recognises he is different at first he has no idea that the reason is that he is a zebra. His owner decides to train him to be a race ...

Review of Racing Stripes (DVD)

This is not the type of film I would normally watch, but my ex's little sister loves this genre. We first saw the film on T.V. and fell in love with it, it's high on the cute factor, and is very girly, though there are enough funny scenes and clever bits (as my seven year old put it)€ to make it suitable for boys too. There are a few memorable lines and a lot of enjoyable scences. The storyline is very predictable, as I find in so many films for ...
...a smart script. Some big names voice the characters, Snoop Dog doing a fantastic if obvious dog, and Whoopi Goldberg appearing as a goat of all things. Overall, this is a film for kids, but it's a nice change from the typical cartoons and the newer Japanese animation. A hit ...
