| Reeling ReviewsRobin Cliffordsucceeds in thoroughly entertaining its target audience while being easy on the eyes and minds of the escorting adults |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA family film that tries to duplicate the moral uplift of "Babe" and fails miserably with its emphasis upon competition and winning. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakRacing Stripes is oddly torn in tone: is it an old-fashioned family drama, a coming-of-age story or a crass comedy? Live action or animation? Unlike "Babe," it fails to integrate its conflicting personalities. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyThe movie, which is roughly as predictable as the attraction of flies to dung, is a hackneyed mix of sentimentality and anarchic comedy. |
| Kansas City StarLoey LockerbyJust because a film is geared toward first-graders doesn't mean it has to sound like it was written by one. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleWhat is Willie Waffle's first rule of comedy? Talking animals are funny ... Racing Stripes is a pleasant surprise. |
| Entertainment SpectrumVince KoehlerThis is a nice movie that should entertain the kids and adults won't mind either. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenI suppose you have to expect barnyard humor in a film which takes place in a barnyard, but I longed for something more clever and less crude. |
| Common Sense MediaNell MinowBest live-action talking animal movie since Babe. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonFrisky and funny enough to please pre-teens, but still witty enough to amuse even those parents who don't recognize Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg and other notables among the unseen vocal talents. |
