Description

Round up the family and get ready for a whole lotta fun with Disney's hilarious animated comedy HOME ON THE RANGE. It's a "total joy," raves Gene Shalit, The Today Show. When a greedy outlaw schemes to take possession of the "Patch Of Heaven" dairy farm, three determined cows, a karate-kicking stallion named Buck, and a colorful coral of critters join forces to save their home. The stakes are sky high as this unlikely animal alliance risks their hides and match wits with a mysterious band of bad guys. Experience Disney's new moo-vie adventure with spectacular bonus features, stunning animation, and original songs performed by k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Tim McGraw, and The Beu Sisters and written by the Academy Award(R)-winning composer of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and ALADDIN. It's "good fun for the whole family," declares Leonard Maltin.

A spiky animation style and cowboy yodelling give Home on the Range some charisma. A trio of cows--Maggie (voiced by Roseanne, She-Devil), Mrs. Calloway (Judi Dench, Iris), and Grace (Jennifer Tilly, Bound)--hit the high prairie to track down a cattle rustler named Alameda Slim (Randy Quaid, Kingpin) in hopes that the reward money will save their farm. With the aid of Buck, a horse with heroic ambitions (Cuba Gooding Jr., Jerry Maguire), the bovine avengers track the villain to his lair and save the day, to the accompaniment of tunes warbled by k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, and Tim McGraw. These songs--composed by Alan Menken (who wrote the music for The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast)--are the movie's strongest element; the characters are largely trumped up to fit a number of weak jokes that reference current pop culture, thus rupturing the movie's Old West world. Still, it looks nifty. --Bret Fetzer

The DVD arrived in good condition. The story line was cute, but I wouldn't suggest this DVD to any kids under 4 years old.

A great movie for the entire family. Voices as well as music and plot are well matched. Don't remember much marketing when it came out several years ago, but it has become a "must watch" each week for our family.

Kids think its very funny. Some annoying voices and crude parts that parents get sick of after viewing several times.

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
