Critic Reviews

Nathan Rabin

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. Read full review

Paula Nechak

Belongs to its trio of "bovine" voice talent -- Roseanne Barr, Dame Judi Dench and Jennifer Tilly -- who play with such tongue-in-cheek delight upon their public personas that it's hard to separate cow character from the celebrities. Read full review

Liam Lacey

Whatever the narrative shortcomings, these characters have the warmth of antique painted storybooks, unlike the eerie plastic simulation of Pixar characters. Read full review

Christine Dolan

Good for some giggles. Especially if you're under the age of, oh, 8 or so. Read full review

Frank Scheck

This amiable, Western-themed animated effort from the Walt Disney Co. is a clear attempt to return to the more lighthearted cartoon style that was so prevalent before its onslaught of stately musical epics. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

So udderly mediocre. Read full review

Premiere Sara Brady

Suffocatingly boring. Read full review

Home on the Range knows what it wants to do and does it the best way imaginable. It's not a film from which you'd expect groundbreaking ideas or complicated plot twists.

And it does what it intendsHome on the Range knows what it wants to do and does it the best way imaginable. It's not a film from which you'd expect groundbreaking ideas or complicated plot twists. The film, intentionally wants to be a generic comedy retro classic animation set in wild west. And it does what it intends to do. It's fun, it has a good pace, it's classic, predictable and generic, and most importantly, its full of life! So if you're expecting something full of ideas like Wall-E, or something deep like Lilo & Stitch, you won't find it here. But if you're prepared to embrace the fun, silly, classic, wild west, you'll love this one!… Expand

Home on the Range is a charming, innocent Disney movie with a zany feel to it and lots of fun. It may not be the best story, but it makes up for it in charisma.

"Home on the Range" is not as bad a movie as much of the public says. But it is not unfair to consider it as one of the least relevant works ever done by Walt Disney Animation Studios, unlike what happens with "The Emperor's New Groove" and "Treasure Planet", which are considered underestimated.

Even with his script weak and with countless loose ends, the characters transmit their spirit and become the strong point of the film. And let's face it, there's no worse name than "Alameda Slim." 5.8/10

No es tan mala como la quieren hacer ver, la animación no tiene nada del otro mundo y por ese aspecto no pareciera que se trata de una película de muy alto presupuesto, en fin, pésima no es, pero si es mediocre y olvidable.

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 Iï»¿ 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
