		It's a film whose target audience is children but whose parents won't mind at all accompanying their offspring to this entertaining and engaging affair.

		Stripes decides that if he can't join them he will beat them and sets out to prove that he can run as fast as any of them in the upcoming derby race.

	Stripes: Extended Cut - The Hollywood News
		Since I’d not seen Stripes for a good six or seven years before I got this DVD, I was disappointed to find myself a little bored during the opening scenes.
		Stripes appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 1.85:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.
		Stripes was originally monaural, which meant I didn’t expect much from the new soundfield.

		Go Stripes!" at the top of their little lungs, I experienced through them all of the magic of that timeworn movie formula known as the final big race.
		Most of their interventions are as pleasant as fingernails on a chalkboard, and I also didn't get why after all this time (at least three years go by in the film), Stripes expresses such surprise when he's informed two thirds of the way through that he's actually a zebra.
		The pacing is good, and his film reaches a visual pinnacle with the staging of the "Blue Moon Race", which is poetically tinted with the aforementioned color.

		The White Stripes wanted to work with Roca on producing a different version of the film but with touring schedules finding a time was difficult.

		Your film's most obvious connection is with the wonderfully dark "Swimming With Sharks".
		Except there you had a whole film of flashbacks and torture scenes to develop the relationship - one in which the man tied up eventually became partners in crime with the man who wanted to kill him - because that was how you got ahead in Hollywood.

		I was more than pleased when it finally played on TV not too long ago, and after all these years I finally got to view it for the first time.
		This was one of his first post-SNL films, and it's no wonder this film spawned a film career for him.
		`Stripes' was a bit disappointing for me; however, it is a good comedy, and a clever satire on the army/military.

		An increasingly important potential size and speed bottleneck is not the chip, but the aluminum alloy thin film stripes that interconnect one chip with another.
		Such thin film interconnect miniaturization suffers from electromigration: the phenomenon in which ion-electron collisions intrinsic to current flow induce internal physical movement causing physical deformations and voids being formed and de-formed.
		Specifically, he is investigating and characterizing the damage/reliability mechanisms associated with electromagnetic processes in aluminum alloy thin film interconnect stripes on a silicon dioxide substrate.

	Racing Stripes
		It's some sort of tradition now, some kind of sick trick: a collaboration of nitwits releases a "family" film as counter-programming against the glut of morose, adult-oriented awards-season drivel that seeps into middle America in the first few months of the New Year.
		A zebra called Stripes (Frankie Muniz) is abandoned by his circus, adopted by a kindly farmer (Bruce Greenwood) and his insipid she-spawn Channing (Muniz's two-time "Malcolm in the Middle" co-star Hayden Panettiere), lusts after a fine filly (professional harbinger of doom Mandy Moore), and dreams of becoming a racehorse.
		Miyagi tutelage of a Shetland Pony (Dustin Hoffman) and the Pony's, um, wife (?), a goat (Whoopi Goldberg), with comic relief--such as it is--provided by a mobster pelican (Joe Pantoliano) and a pair of flies (David Spade and Steve Harvey) prone to rapping, flatulating, and eating great legfuls of horseshit.

	Stripes Film Review - Time Out Film
		Purposeless slob Murray loses car (repossessed), apartment and girlfriend (thrown out) all in the same day, and on a whim joins the US Army; a decision he spends most of the film regretting.
		Though the overall tone is as unquestioning of the virtues of the military life - discipline, duty, honour, etc - as was Private Benjamin, at least at its centre Murray is a genuine couldn't-give-a-shit character for the early '80s.
		Reitman, who also originated Animal House and Meatballs, manages a reasonable success rate at pulling off the numerous verbal and sight gags with which the script is peppered.

	Montreal Mirror : Film : Racing Stripes
		Actually, Nolan's daughter Channing (Hayden Panettiere) becomes attached to the little fella, whom she promptly names Stripes, giving the title of the film an interesting double meaning, at least to viewers sensitive to those kinds of subtleties.
		Stripes settles in nicely with his hilarious barnyard buddies, voiced by Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Snoop Dogg and Joe Pantoliano, who plays what press materials describe as a "deranged big-city pelican" - you know, a big-city pelican!
		The interesting thing is, with the variety of animals on display, Racing Stripes really goes to town with the different types of shit that get flung around: bird shit from the air, horse shit on the ground, you get the idea.

		About halfway through Racing Stripes, there's a gag where a pair of horseflies fall ass-backward into a heap of shit, only to assume they've died and gone to heaven.
		Stripes is a zebra who thinks he's a horse who wants to be a racehorse, but his eponymous two-color tones leave him a pariah mocked by his rival, Trenton's Pride, as half horse, half fence.
		His story seems initially to be Babe lite, a quaint moral fable uttered from the Clutch Cargo mouths of the crass menagerie of barnyard usual suspects (and voiced mostly by an onslaught of slumming B-listers).

	Racing Stripes
		Although this film about a zebra who aspires to win horse races has a marvelous premise, it slows to a mediocre canter right out of the starting gate.
		Racing Stripes is unlikely to ascend to the pantheon of perennially watchable children's films, but like its hero, what it lacks in skill, it makes up for in heart.
		the latest entry in a long string of family-oriented films that undercut their sentimental side with plenty of gross-out gags and dried-out pop culture references.

		Much of the comedy exists in contrast to heavier themes like bigotry and loss, and the film's pacing harkens to a time of softer sentimental comedies rather than the bombastic spastic pyrotechnics of today.

		Bruce Greenwood is doing something very weird with his face, contorting his mouth in the motions of mock enunciation that have no relation to the actual sounds he's making, in imitation of the lip-synced animals in his new film, Racing Stripes.
		It was decided early on that the animals of Racing Stripes would only be able to talk to each other.
		The line that makes one keel over in the film would have to be when the two talking bugs refer to the protagonist, the zebra, as the racetrack "referee".

	Racing Stripes - Atomicduster Film Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		On the one hand, this has been getting groans of disgruntlement from certain quarters of the press, but the fact is that this is purely what it intends to be – a feelgood children’s film – and nothing else.
		This is billed as the “official film of Red Nose Day” and, whilst the more anal of film critics will complain that there is “not enough here to keep the adults entertained”, it’s a certainty that the under tens will embrace it with all their hearts.
		Moving swiftly on, you could say this film is like “Little House on the Prairie” meets “Babe” meets “Rebel Without a Cause” with a sprinkling of “Fight Club” thrown in for good measure.

	Racing Stripes London Movie Review
		If the trailers and posters for Racing Stripes remind you of Babe, it’s probably no coincidence, as the film uses the same blend of digitally-enhanced talking animals, live-action and animation.
		When Stripes spots the neighbouring racetrack he’s immediately hooked and dreams of one day becoming a racehorse.
		Muniz does a good job in the lead and there’s strong support from Goldberg, but the stand-outs are Dustin Hoffman and Joey ‘Pants’ Pantoliano as Goose, a deranged, fast-talking big-city Pelican who’s hiding out in the sticks until the heat dies down in the city.
