Racing Stripes
- Rating:
- Director:
- Starring: Dustin Hoffman
- Details: US / 84 mins (U).
Stripes (voiced by Muniz) is a zebra who wants to be a racehorse, except the other racehorses don't like the cut of his jib - until farmyard veteran Tucker (Hoffman) lends a hand. A charming kids' tale with an anti-racism message, Racing Stripes is lightweight fun that offers enough gags to keep the adults happy too.
