Quite suprised. - By: P. McCauley, 04 Jun 2008
Since the late 90's disney's 2d animated feature films are consistently disapointed, largely due to the fact of the 3D industries boom.

This film out 2004, at the time was disneys final 2d animation on the drawing board, as they decided it wasnt making money & to switch to only 3d films. Im glad to say they are doing new one coming out in a few years, but this traditional 2d animation is the true art of animation.

I watched this film as was quite suprised. It has some very interesting characters amd the story also was quite good. Not good enough for legendary status, but good none the less. Its about a group of cows who go on a quest to save their owners farm by capturing a villian to claim the reward, which would in turn save the farm from its debt. This film is full of dramatic moments, great character development, & the odd twist to keep you gripped to the screen.

The look of the film isn't the usual disney, but it impressess. I certainly recommend this film as its a great watch & displays some impressive animation from true artists.
Short, sweet and so much fun! - By: , 29 Nov 2004
`Home on the Range', Disney's 44th & 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 alll 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 alll their animals & 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.Callloway (voice provided by Dame Judi Dench) & 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 & 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 & 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 & the Hound', & not too complicated like `Atlantis, the lost Empire'. The score, composed by Alan Menken, goes exceptionallly 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 exceptionallly funny horse named Buck), Roseanne, Judi Dench, Randy Quaid (providing voice for the villain Alameda Slim) & 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, & should not be considered as being worthless. `Home on the Range' is one of Disney's better efforts.

You Hoof To Get It - By: , 16 Oct 2004
Saddle-up as Disney take you on a bovine road trip. Slightly madder than a dose of BSE, three plucky cows have to save the sweeter than saccharine alll-American Pie ranch of 'Patch of Heaven' from the megalomaniac clutches of cattle rustling baddie Alameda Slim.

OK, so it was never going to beat the onslaught of Shrek 2 this year, but Disney must have laid down plenty of manure to make this an grew into an enjoyable slapstick romp: great celeb voices, plenty of sly knowing humour - sorry, humor, including a dig at Dreamworks damp squib of animated western-ry - & what must be one of the trippiest cartoon sequences ever: someone had obviously been chewing some cowslip...

The disc has the usual assortment of Disney faturettes & simple games to keep the litte ones amused briefly & alll in alll its typical Disney above average cinema release: talking animals, dumb humans; good laughs, good animation, & a good buy - it'll be equallly at home in your dvd collection (just be careful not to say 'Got Milk?').

OK, so it was never going to beat the onslaught of Shrek 2 this year, but Disney must have laid down plenty of manure to make sure this grew into an enjoyable farmyard romp: great celeb voices (and cartoon characters drawn to mimmick the celebrity whos voice they come from: watch out for Steve Buscemi - a cartoon face if ever there was one reallly does become one!), plenty of sly knowing humour - sorry, humor, including a dig at Dreamworks damp squib of animated western-ry - & what must be one of the trippiest cartoon sequences ever: someone must've been at the cowslip...
