Racing Stripes!

Movie in the same style as Babe (the movie about the pig) where animals talk English. Funny yet touching. Its a family movie.

The story is about a lost Zebra picked up by a race horse trainer and thats how it got to know a group of good friends (a pony, a lamb, a chicken and a peglican). The zebra, Stripes, didnt know he was a zebra. He always thought he a race horse but becos of his 'unusal' out look, and shorter legs and bigger head, he always got laughed at. But running is always in his blood. From racing the post man to taking part in the 'all horse only' race he has not back away from any of it. In the end, he made it and become a champion racer. (happy ending!)

There is human factor in Stripe's success in the story. The trainer (i forget his name liao) have some problem letting his daughter ride Stripes due to his wife's death. But he eventually got over it and trained Stripes to become a champion.

Its a story full of laughter and warmth. Special mention to the 2 flies who are very funny! Its a story for the whole family.
