Movie Reviews of Home on the Range
Movie Review: Not Disney's greatest, but surely not its worse
Summary: 4 Stars
While _Home on the Range_ isn't a sweeping epic like _Mulan_ or ground-breaking like _Beauty and the Beast_, it is a fun, fast-paced film that will hold the attention of children and parents alike. And who can't use some pure, fluffly entertainment along side the stuff to make you think?
The story concerns three cows, Mrs. Caloway, Grace, and Maggie, who must find a way to save their home, Little Patch of Heaven, from the auction block. As luck would have it, the exact amount they need is the bounty on the most ruthless cattle rustler in the county, Alameda Slim (voice with great gusto and finesse by Randy Quaid). Going against bounty hunter Ricco and his borrowed hero-wannabe horse, Buck (Cuba Gooding Jr), our three heronies set out the get the bad guy. Plenty of action, beautifully rendered artwork (the scenic stuff is pure magic), and quirky characters (the three little pigs are especially fun -- and they get their own special treatment in a bonus short on the DVD!). A must have for any Disney library.
Movie Review: HOW NOW MISS COW
Summary: 4 Stars
To me, the best of Disney's pre-computerized animated films is 101 DALMATIANS. HOME ON THE RANGE is nowhere near that dog story, but it is a diverting and entertaining film, with some of the best music in a recent Disney film, especially the lovely song sung by Bonnie Raitt.
The voices do well: Roseanne Barr is an effective sleazy cow; Judi Dench is wonderful as Ms. Calloway, and Jennifer Tilly brings a little girls' warmth to the role of Grace. Cuba Gooding Jr. as Buck, Randy Quaid as the villain; and all the other voices do well. Very reminiscent of Looney Tunes, the movie still has the colors and gaiety expected of a Disney cartoon. I think the whole family will find something fun in this carefree little movie.
Movie Review: Home on the Range
Summary: 4 Stars
Home on the Range It is a well done animated movie geared for children to enjoy, that is children of all ages. Of course it is rather predictable for adults to figure out how it is going to end. The only problem I had with the film is some of the actors whose voices were used, just do not have the right quality or thought put into their being used in a children's movie. Plus some of the references were little too far out for any character in the movie's theme to be used.
Over all it is a very enjoyable movie, and should be enjoyed by the entire family
Movie Review: Good Family Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good family movie. Not great, but good and watchable. We saw it at our school as a school movie and I think the kids really liked it (first and second graders the most). Kinda like a kiddie rebellion stage without being obnoxious.Movie Review: IT'S A CARTOON PEOPLE!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Sheesh! My 4 yr old LOVED this movie. I thought it was cute, sure it wasn't perfect Disney style, but you know what? It entertained my daughter and frankly that's all that matters to me.
