6/10
The plot is clichéd the side stuff is wonderful.
5 February 2005
You were expecting chopped liver? Actually this movie about a young zebra that wants to be a race horse is pretty much what you'd expect from start to finish with many famous names doing the voices of the various animals. The problem with this film is that the plot never rises above cliché so you know where its going to go.

That said there are many laughs in this film thanks to the actors who really sell their material especially in what appears to be frequent asides, throw away lines and random bits of back story (The tale of the hit-bird stork is hysterical) This really isn't worth seeing on the big screen for ten bucks a pop, but as a rental or better yet as something on cable this is a must since you won't mind that what you really want to watch is the background stuff while ignoring the main plot thread.
