Racing Stripes
Directed by Frederik Du Chau
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. And with help from the young girl who raised him, he just might end up in the winner's circle.

positive · AI labelView post →I associate Hayden Panettiere with Heroes and Scream primarily but the first thing I ever saw her in was the movie 'Racing Stripes' and I just want to remind the world that the zebra racing movie was real.

I think I had Robots, The Incredibles, Racing Stripes, Herbie, and a couple others. Later it was Cars and the first SpongeBob movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →I think Disney Plus made a mistake. Someone seems to have spliced in dialogue from "Racing Stripes" over the horse scenes. Okay, I am now being informed this is not a mistake and that was intentional. letterboxd.com/mrcoat/film/...
neutral · AI labelView post →as a junk hound, I do spend a lot of time checking out the DVD shelves in the thrifts and when I see the DVD of the 2005 sports comedy film "Racing Stripes," that's when I know to stop looking. Gosh, why did the DVD industry crumble? Because they thought millions of you wanted "Racing Stripes"

neutral · AI labelView post →I think this is wonderful, but no one will ever convince me that – much like the 2005 film "Racing Stripes" about a zebra in a horse race – they didn't come up with the name first and think, "Well, this has gotta be SOMETHING."
neutral · AI labelView post →Afternoon! You know what I've been thinking about lately? Zebras. DK Bananza made zebras feel a lot more badass, and does anyone remember the movie Racing Stripes? Even though he's a donkey, I wish Racing Stripes was made into an Uma Musume. No stream today btw! Celebrating my nephew's Bday today~

Panettiere suffered a major spinal injury as a teenager in 2005 when she was bucked off a zebra while filming the movie Racing Stripes. The incident resulted in damaged vertebrae in her neck, severe whiplash, and a concussion. In her

neutral · AI labelView post →Ha! Maybe. But the bits I do recall suggest a mid-tier '00s or early '10s animated film, not from one of the big studios. Something like Turbo or Racing Stripes but I've just checked and it's neither of those.
neutral · AI labelView post →This is bizarre! I see another zebra riding picture in the comments. Around the time the very kitschy kids movie "Racing Stripes" came out, animal rights ppl cautioned "us" that zebras did NOT have the same skeletal structure (OR TEMPERMAMENT) as horses and were uncomfortable and DANGEROUS to ride.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s already a bad movie called Racing Stripes
negative · AI labelView post →12. Racing Stripes I watched this and only just now realized I never put it on my thread. Watched it because my gf was a horse girl and I'm vaguely into horse racing now. She said it was one of her favorites as a kid. I did not expect the animals to talk. Passable kids' movie.
