    It isn't very funny or entertaining or well animated. And it definitely in unoriginal. There really is no fun to this film at all. You may as well just walk out because it brings no message for kids. I give this film a 34% of a good movie.

    If I remembered "Home on the Range" correctly, the characters were funny but crazy has hell.

    Very nice movie. Great music and animation. Lovely Songs but only the story is a little bit simple.

    I HATED this movie. The movie was so boring and pathetic. There was one good scene in the movie that made me decide to give it a 2 but this movie wasn't funny, predictable and I personally thought the animation sucked!. This should have gone direct to video!

    It's surreal, fluffy, and not thought-intensive. You have to be in the mode to appreciate kung-fu horses and prehensile-tailed cows, but once you get there, it's a silly romp -- well worth hauling the 4-year-old to see it. Definitely gonna grab it in video.

    The last 2-D animated film from Disney (or so they're telling us, anyway) ends a classic trend with the proverbial whimper, not bang. Frenetic pacing is utterly worthless when combined with completely uninspired storytelling and comedy writing. The bovine trio is amazingly unlikeable (and the fact that they're drawn with such sharp angles that you could put an eye out actually trying to milk one of them doesn't help at all) and the jokes are way above the kids' heads while simultaneously being too childish for adults. The villain's three lookalike dopey sidekicks provide a few chuckles, the 1950s-era Tex Avery-like layouts are great, and I loved the "chicks with attitude", but overall Home on the Range reminded me again why Pixar soars while this and other traditional efforts have been struggling; Toy Story and Finding Nemo are written so well that their scripts actually got Oscar nominations, while the screenplays for this and Treasure Planet and Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas are just plain fertilizer.… Expand

    The over all movie itself was, in my opinion very dull. some of the jokes were ok. the only part I can say I liked was the yodeling techno cow song. even it could have been done better reminded me a bit of that purina cat chow commerical, with the neaon cats.

    I really liked it, and it was a great movie for kids as well as adults!

    Puerile, schlocky, contrived, dull. I can't say it any better than Sara Brady and Michael O'Sullivan already have, so I'll instead strip the issue down to it's core: This is, by far, the most aweful, worthless Disney film ever made.

    "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" got a bad rap; made passe by the advent of Pixar, this charming 2-D cartoon was unfairly panned. "Treasure Planet", I didn't see because I'm an English major, and felt that the concept was dumber than the short-lived "Gilligan's Planet". "Home of the Brave" unlike "Atlantis..." and even, Dreamworks' "The Road to El Dorado" is a bore. The cow with the hat made me miss the chicken with the hat from "Chicken Run". "Home of the Brave" might've been fresh had it come out in the late-seventies. Is it just me, but weren't you grossed out by how the Rosanne cow forces you to objectify her udder, when she says, "Yeah, it's real." Gross! Strictly for kids, and the only joy an adult will get out of "Home on the Range", is the indoctrination of their offspring to film. … Expand

    If disney had paid me for the half hour it would have taken me to properly render the herd of longhorns in the mines, I would have refused, just to avoid having my name in this Disney Flop's credits. I liked the technicolor cow scene, but Walt would be rolling over in his grave if he could see the high fee parking lot Eisner has paved over the naturally green paradise that the Disney name symbolized. … Expand

    I think I was around 12 when this movie came and I was thinking that this looks rediculous and stupid. I was thankful that I didn't have to see it in theaters. But of course, my lil sis wanted to see it & wanted it for her 9th b-day. I was forced to watch this movie, after I saw it...I was right, I thought it was a terrible movie and my most hated film from the Disney animated films. I saw it once, and never saw it again. Everything in this movie was forgettable, and I'm happy about that b/c I don't want to remember watching this at all. Like I said, out of all of the Disney animated movies that has came and failed, this one was probably the worst out of all of them. The characters, songs, plot, animation, almost everything in the movie was forgettable. If you guys like it, that's fine. But trust me, there are many Disney animated movies that are so much better, you would forget that this movie existed.… Expand

    Home on the Range is better than the critics say it is. It has a wacky story and climax but the animation and characters are full of life. There is a little bit of something special here.

    A sweet, raucously funny, comic Western that corrects a glaring historical injustice by finally surveying the Old West through the eyes of cows rather than cowboys.

    The conservatively cheery artistic style suggests that the animation team has been reading Sundance merchandise catalogs.

    Should make about $750, which is how much they need to save the farm, but a little less than Disney CEO Michael Eisner needs to save his job.
