This is the soundtrack from an average, family-fare movie -- the kind you watch one time and forget about. The soundtrack is great, however, with lots of interesting chord changes starting in "Taking the Inside Rail", sung by Sting, with the theme continuing through many of the inspiring, African-flavored instrumentals. Then there's a Bryan Adams pop song stuck on the end for good measure. There's enough variety here for us to listen to again & again without getting bored and the whole family gives it a unanimous 5 stars!

I purchased this CD for my husband, because there is a song by Sting, which can only be found on this soundtrack. He and I are very happy with this CD. The songs are very upbeat and happy. You can't help but smile when you're listening.

This is a must have if you enjoyed the soundtrack of the movie as you watched it. We have watched the movie repeatedly and listen to the soundtrack on our ipods when we walk the dog.

I really like this movie,Very very fun ,And if you put the record on,all the view will appear in you mind,so good!!

Mark Isham's soundtrack is probably better than the film it comes from (the odd and sometimes tasteless but still enjoyable Racing Stripes). Isham offers a series of short, world-music-influenced orchestrated vignettes (sprinkled with the whimsy found in the film's story), sandwiched between adult-pop tunes by Sting and Bryan Adams. An interesting if unusual film sountrack, perhaps useful for introducing kids to (almost) fully orchestrated music.

I have heard soundtrack scores like this one and it's the same thing: a mediocre movie trying to have music that makes it seem more powerful than it really is. What it ends up being is an overrated, over-the-top soundtrack blown way out of porportion to a movie for six-year-olds! I am highly disappointed in whoever arranged this soundtrack. It was just plain 'trying to be cool', not telling a story at all. I thought they knew better.
