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!!

My daughter took to this movie immediately. Mind you, she is 4 years old. I bought it for her because she loves animals, especially farm animals, so I gave it a try. This movie was never meant to be a classic Disney tear jerker, heart touching, bells and whistles film with your classic Disney characters with those big blue eyes and long flowy hair. It was just meant to be funny. I thought it was hilarious. I despise Rosanne Barr's annoying twangy voice, but it fit well into the role of Maggie the Cow. Gotta love Dame Judi Dench (Mrs. Caloway) and Jennifer Tilly (Grace). The musical score was very good. K.D. Lang has a beautiful voice people! We watch this movie a few times a week in my house because my daughter adores it. I've even bought her the plush dolls to play with and the Gameboy Advance game to play because she loves the characters in this movie (she loves Jeb the grouchy old goat for some reason). The movie isn't brilliant but it's adorable, funny, and entertaining. But if you're a hardcore Disney fanatic looking for prissy princesses and handsome princes, witches, castles and the usual Disney fare with a musical score worthy of Broadway, you will be disappointed.

WHAT was Disney thinking on this release?
Great vocal and music talents lined up.....
TERRIBLE screen play.....
equals: BAD MOVIE.
Nobody in my family liked it (from my 6 year old daughter to myself).
Okay, here goes....
This movie had no plot (Save the farm?!? THAT'S original!)..... The musical score was completely forgettable, bordering on insipid (this from the guy who gave us the music in "Beauty and the Beast"?!?)...Cuba Gooding (who I greatly admire as an actor) was trying TOO hard to recreate Eddie Murphy's zany Mushu character from "Mulan"....and Mr. Gooding fails something fierce....plus, as a matter of fact, I think there is a Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 50's that did this whole schtick MUCH better (and much shorter, too!)
Just awful. Don't waste your time. I'd rather watch "Beauty and the Beast" again for the zillionth time than to watch this disaster.

It took me quite awhile to watch "Home On The Range." I bought it for my daughter not long after it came out, and she has watched it a few times, but I never got around to viewing it. For some reason, it just lacked the appeal of other Disney fare. Well, last night my daughter and I sat down to look at this flick together. About thirty minutes into it, my daughter was called off to go to bed. I was also tired, but I was too caught up in this little Disney movie, so I stayed up late.
I really want to love "Home On The Range" because it has so much going for it. It has some great voices in it thanks to the lovely Jennifer Tilly, Dame Judi Dench, Randy Quaid, and Cuba Gooding, Jr. It had wonderful songs written by Alan Menken and performed by k.d. lang and Bonnie Raitt. There was a neat little storyline and some wild West adventure. The animation was refreshingly "biting"(if that's an accurate term).I really liked those parts of this film.
However, the parts I wasn't so impressed with are what keep me from giving this movie more than three stars. For all of the great voices in this film, the one voice that shrieked and grated me into insanity was that of Roseanne Barr. Her voice(and attitude, I might add)was annoying. She almost ruined this film with her name alone. The second thing that bugged me about this movie was that Menken's lovely songs were hampered by the voice of cowboy-wannabe, Tim McGraw. Why doesn't he just let his wife look pretty and cut some more pop albums? The guy has the emotion of a flounder in his voice.
If you can look beyond those two glaring atrocities in this film, you'll probably enjoy it. It feels more like a direct-to-video/DVD flick than a "major motion picture," but since it is storied to be the last hand-drawn animated feature from Walt's company, it will just have to suffice.
Recommended to families with young children and those who really, really, REALLY love western adventure/comedy.

I've been saying, since about the time of "The Little Mermaid," that you can't go far wrong with a Disney animated feature. They're not all masterpieces, but they all deliver good solid entertainment.
Okay, I guess I was wrong.
"Home On the Range" is the most disappointing Disney theatrical feature I've seen since the bitter dregs of the '70s. I wanted to like it. Technically, the film is well-executed. The animation is skillfully done. Artistically, however, the film is sadly lacking. The jokes aren't funny, the characters aren't engaging, the songs aren't memorable, and the story is dull. Was this a direct-to-video project that got rushed into theaters instead?
