Definitely not the newest and greatest animated feature but it is endurable and at times entertaining. I'm not sure if it is great for kids but the kids do seem to enjoy this mildly entertaining DVD. I personally really enjoyed the sound track and the colorful characters that are developed fairly deeply. The subtle adult humor makes it more bearable for adults to endure.

My 2 year old watches this movie at least once a day; he calls it the Moo Movie. He is a toy story addict and to have a new movie he enjoys is a blessing. It is very cute and the jokes are geared towards the adults with out "harming" the children, so it's entertaining to have on in the background. I've read quite a few reviews that are negative and I don't feel this movie has been given enough credit. Granted it's no Lion King but if the children enjoy it than that's all that really matters.

As a father of a three-year-old, I endure multiple viewings of the same film on a regular basis. Other than the homage to spaghetti westerns early in the movie, this is a forgettable film. Ultimately, I base my rating on my child's reaction to it. The movie barely held his attention, and after he watched it, he never wanted to see it again. What has happened to Disney? Their recent efforts pale in comparison to the films put out by their partner Pixar. This partnership is apparently dissolved after Cars. Disney might want to try harder to maintain its partnership with Pixar. Their "imagineers" are simply missing the boat.

When I first saw the trailer for this film, I wondered what in the world were the producers thinking! A movie about cows embarking on a mission to rescue a farm from foreclosure??? Then, I thought, maybe the same originality that yielded the really funny "Emperor's New Groove" would be found in this movie.
I was wrong!
There is little to recommend for parents and children alike. The characters are not that interesting and the plot seems better suited for a television special than a full-blown screen story.
The songs are far from memorable and the animation, as others have said, is too simplistic for a major motion picture.
I had high hopes for a film that features the vocal talents of Roseanne, Judi Dench, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and, at an inspired bit of casting, former Texas governor Ann Richards.
But, this is one "herd" that needed to remain in the open prairie.
So, why THREE STARS? 'Can't give Disney any less, no matter how bad it might be!

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.
