Racing Stripes

About Racing Stripes

Shattered illusions are hard to repair -- especially for a good-hearted zebra named Stripes who's spent his life on a Kentucky farm amidst the sorely mistaken notion that he's a debonair thoroughbred. Once he faces the fact that his stark stripes mark him as different, he decides he'll race anyway.

Frederik Du Chau's Racing Stripes is a 2005 comedy film. Its themes are anthropomorphism, horse, farm, and underdog.

Frankie Muniz takes the lead as Stripes (voice), Hayden Panettiere as Channing Walsh, Bruce Greenwood as Nolan Walsh, and Mandy Moore as Sandy (voice). Released in January 2005, it runs 102 minutes.

The screenplay is by David Schmidt. Produced by Alcon Entertainment.

50 to 1, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes make useful companions to Racing Stripes, all filed under horse race. TMDB voters put it at 6.0 out of 10 across 700 votes and it carries a PG rating.
