* HilariousInHindsight: Tucker, the wise Shetland pony is voiced by Creator/DustinHoffman. Three years later, Hoffman would voice another coach mentor figure--Master Shifu in ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda''. To add more hilarity, both films co-starred Creator/MichaelClarkeDuncan.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Seems to be the overall consensus of this film's quality. While there's not a lot about it that's considered outright awful, it's such a ClicheStorm that it doesn't stand out much. Other movies have played similar storylines out much better, such as "Film/{{Babe}}" (underdog story about animal succeeding in sport they normally don't participate in in RealLife) and "WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}" (outcast animal struggles with his heritage and wants to be accepted by others of his kind).

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Despite being heavily featured in the promotional material, Lightning the Bloodhound seldom appears in the film at all. He just lazily sits on the porch. He doesn't even interact with Stripes or even the other animals at any point. And pun aside, what was the point of casting an A-list star like Creator/SnoopDogg when he barely has any dialogue?

We\'re zapping Needs More Love, as per Ask The Tropers.


* CultClassic / NeedsMoreLove: The film has fans who consider it a decent family flick, but it seems to have been pretty much forgotten after seven years, as few people talk about it nowadays.



** The horses in dialogue scenes were puppets, and several of the behind-the-scenes clips show shots that were cut for looking too fake.
