GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Anssi Vartiainen Home on the Range was so bad that it, for the first time in history, shut down the traditional hand-drawn animation at the Walt Disney Animation Studios. The talents and creative juices of the team that had brought you such films such as The Lion King or Beauty and the Beast were finally completely spent and this was their last pitiful attempt to scrape something together.And it shows. It feels more like a B-studio direct-to-video kind of nonsense than anything from arguably the greatest animation studio on Earth. Everything, from character designs to the actual characters to song numbers, is either laughably cheap or just so bizarre that you have to wonder what they were smoking at the time.Now, to the film's credit, it's not the worst animated film I've ever seen. The quality of animation is not as high as it used to be, but the backgrounds look nice, the characters move well - even if they are oddly designed - and the songs are merely bland instead of awful. Plus, there's pink elephants segment in the film. You know, like in Dumbo, when everything just goes bat guano insane, the colours try to give you a seizure and its glorious madness for a few minutes. I cannot truly hate a film that has a scene like that.But then, the story. It all starts with a cow making a breast implants joke. Just... let that sink in for a minute. That's how they start a Disney film. And believe it or not, it's downhill from there. Three cows are about to become homeless as their farm is to be sold due to debts. They have the bright idea to leave the farm in order to catch a notorious cattle stealing fugitive, whose prize money just happens to be the exact sum the farm needs. What a happy coincidence. Along the way numerous comic reliefs are met, hijinks ensue, the action scenes are so hard to follow that you stop bothering after the first one, more comic reliefs are met and in the end we all have our big happy Disney ending. Audience cheers because it's over, roll the credits.I don't know why this film became as bad as it is. Perhaps studio executives intervened, perhaps no one cared anymore, perhaps they actually thought they were making a good film. Impossible to say. Still, it is very close to being the worst Disney film I've ever seen. And I'm counting the direct-to-video sequels in that. Only see it if you want to say you've seen them all.

Lisa Muñoz From the moment the film starts, we know it's not going to be good, but the more I watch it now, the more cringe-worthy and unwatchable it gets.Everything from the animation style to the characters and to the plot, is just an absolute train wreck. There is nothing redeemable about this picture. Pending loss of property, kidnapping of the cattle and Pearl's and the dairy cows' relationship as "family" makes me want to retch out of pity for how much fuss they're kicking up over nothing. Even as a child when I watched it the first time, I had to skip some parts because they were just too silly for me. When you compare it to Finding Nemo for example, a much more dramatic picture with depth, lovable characters and outstanding dialog, you'll see what I mean.It's not even one of those "so bad it's good" movies. Just plain unbearable.

Straph Which made the animation look worse than it really is. I'm an animation student and when I watched it I was AMAZED. Fluid, organic, and full of life! So when I read in the reviews that, oh, "the animation sucked, it's like one of those Saturday morning cartoons", I'm like, oh my god were we watching the same movie? But the story SUCKED. Big time. The characters were 2 dimensional. Maggie was annoying. The farm animals were annoying. The plot is really unbelievably stupid... I mean, what the hell, the villain is an idiot with an idiotic motive with 3 idiot henchmen. The horse is annoying and stupid. The script is stupid. Everything that happened was so absurd I threw up a little in my mouth.It's sad that Disney decided that it was 2d animation's fault and not that of the story. Otherwise I'm sure they'd have made more masterpieces.The only reason why I watched to the end was because the animation and art was so amazing. Everything else was bad.

James Sims The jokes suck, the animation's flat, and the plot is stupid. Compared to the famous Disney movies of the Disney Renaissance, Home on the Range has forgettable songs and a pointless plot. Even the children will dislike this movie, because the "Yodel Adle Eedle Idle OO" song would give them nightmares. No wonder it wasn't nominated for any Oscars or Golden Globes or Kid's Choice Awards! Alan Menken has done a better job at writing songs like "Beauty and the Beast", "A Whole New World" and many more songs that are way more memorable than the songs in Home on the Range. What was Disney thinking?! How could a Disney film this dull have a high budget of $110 million?! If Disney had the time to improve the music and plot, this film wouldn't have been such a box-office bomb! Disney announced that this would be their last hand-drawn animated film, because of the failure of this film. In 2009 however, Disney released their next hand drawn animated film called The Princess and the Frog. This film was way better than Home on the Range. The Princess and Frog had a well developed plot, well developed music, beautiful animation, and cool characters. The film was way more successful than Home on the Range. The Princess and the Frog earned $270 million worldwide at the box-office while Home on the Range only grossed $103 million. Disney never should have released Home on the Range in theaters. It should have been released directly to DVD and video.
