Movie Reviews of Home on the Range
Movie Review: Short but fun movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
`Home on the Range', Disney's 44th and final hand-drawn animated movie, is a surprisingly good one. Having grown up with the wonderful animated Disney movies, I am a little disappointed that they will not be releasing any more in the future. Just as all Disney animated movies are family-fun oriented, `Home on the Range' succeeds in this manner, as it is a very casual movie filled with lovable characters.
The story comprises of a thief named Alameda Slim, who is wanted in many states for stealing herds of cattle. The farmers go broke after losing all their animals and reluctantly auction their farm for sale. Molly (voice given by Roseanne), a cow, who has lost her home due to this situation, is now brought to a new one known as `Patch of Heaven'. However, things start to go downhill, when Pearl, the owner of the farm, has to put it up for auction as well, since she cannot seem to pay the bills for keeping it. Therefore, Molly, along with two other cows named Mrs.Calloway (voice provided by Dame Judi Dench) and Grace (voice provided by Jennifer Tilly), decide to find some way to obtain the money needed to keep their farm open, by catching Alameda Slim and acquiring the reward money. However, there are many obstacles in their way, which they have to face. Will they succeed in the end?
Home on the Range may not be a classic compared to previous Disney masterpieces such as `Beauty and the Beast', `Aladdin', `Little Mermaid' or `The Lion King', but it has its own charm. The storyline of the movie is simple, giving it the charm of old Disney Classics like `The Fox and the Hound', and not too complicated like `Atlantis, the lost Empire'. The score, composed by Alan Menken, goes exceptionally well with the theme of the movie. This movie has a great selection of the casting for the voices, such as Cuba Gooding Jr. (giving the voice for the exceptionally funny horse named Buck), Roseanne, Judi Dench, Randy Quaid (providing voice for the villain Alameda Slim) and Jennifer Tilly. I suppose the main reason this movie didn't do very well in the box office was because, considering it is the last hand drawn animated movie by Disney, the audience were expecting a movie that ended Disney's animation career with a big bang. However, if you watch the movie without any high expectations, you will be surprised how good it is. This is a well-crafted Disney movie, and should not be considered as being worthless. `Home on the Range' is one of Disney's better efforts.
Movie Review: Charming Disney Family Film
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't even care what anyone says about this film. Fact is, I don't understand what they're being so negative about. It's not like there is a conspiracy going on. All it is is just another Disney flick that is just as charming and spirited as the older classics from Walt's period. Enough to leave anyone with a smile. Three dairy cows go out on a search to save their farm from being auctioned off and to capture the most notorious cattle rustler in the west, Alameda Slim.
So what if it's no Lion King or Beauty and the Beast, what matters to me is that I came out of the theatre feeling happy and loving the characters. Better than not smiling at all. And I believe it was a better note to end than the Black Cauldron or Atlantis. My favorite character was Grace.
Now I'm hoping that in time, this movie will be given a second chance just like Alice in Wonderland(the movie has the same charm as Alice). Who knows? only time will tell.
For anyone who loves the original Disney formula, will truly enjoy this fun family film.
Movie Review: My new favorite!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie! The kids love this movie! It's our new favorite, whereas Finding Nemo, and Toy Story fell flat, especially with the kids. Personally I'm tired of new kid's movies in which everyone yells all of the time. In this movie the characters are fun, their interaction is fun, even the chase scene is fun. The horse is great, with wonderful voice-acting...and that brings me to the cows. The real deal with this film is that it stars women, and the characters are women, bovine women. Each one is wonderful, and their interaction is hugely entertaining.
On top of that the music is really good, not something you cringe at, and think, oh well, that's Disney. K.D. Lange, Bonnie Raitt, and Tim McGraw are all class acts, and each of the songs here are great! The animation takes a little getting used to, but I've become fond of it.
This is a movie that has scenes, and bits of dialogue that absolutely crack me up. I love the movie more each time I watch it.
Movie Review: Great family fun!

Great music,wonderful scenery and lots of action and memorable charactetrs make for a wonderful film!This isn't some dull,boring,tossed-together movie like "Teacher's Pet movie" or "Treasure Planet"-"Home on the Range" is actaully a complete,entertaining movie!You won't find any uninspired cyborg pirates,boring babies in a French city or mundane detective mice here-just heroic cows,a hilarious horse and a really cool bad guy!So next time your kids are complaining about being bored,just pop in this DVD and let the fun begin!"Home on the range" is a wonderful alternative to ho-hum yawn-inducers like "Jimmy Neutron" or "Thornberrys movie".Movie Review: Its a kids movie......harmless fun!

I love the way adults review kids movies it make so much sense!!! (that was sarcasm by the way) I have 3 girls a 7 yr old and twin 4 yr olds and we bought them this dvd not having seen it, they absolutly love it! they just never get sick of it! the voices are great roseanne is perfect for maggie the cow full of attitude and judi dench as the old maid cow is lovely, cuba gooding jnr as the horse who thinks he's something but isn't is quite funny, its a really nice movie its as simple as that, theres no point going into the disney trying to do a warner or the "its not as good as" or "as meaningful as" stuff, kids just don't care!!
