Media Hunter - Home on the Range (2004) Review (Original Upload)

[@isaacthemonke233]

God, I remember watching this movie over and over as a kid. I personally think Al Slim is an underrated villain. His song was honestly the only one that I remember the most Plus the opening theme

[@cockerspanielfan56]

Me too Isaac, and I still have the dvd. And nowadays, I can watch it on Disney plus, it’s been where I rewatched the shows and movies I haven’t seen in a long time. My favorite part of the movie was when Maggie got to stay with the others on Pearl’s farm and Slim got arrested. That was satisfying cause Slim gotten away with cattle wrestling for too long, it even cause Maggie’s old owner to sell the place and give her up to Pearl.

[@isaacthemonke233]

@@cockerspanielfan56 Yeah I remember reading somewhere that originally Slim was gonna assemble an animal army (mostly cattle but probably included others) and storm the White House.

[@abrahamcortina6322]

I have never watched this movie since I only saw the preview on The Lion King 1 1/2 dvd that I enjoyed a lot, and I only saw Home on the Range only one time on a TV airing

[@valareesparks6462]

Fun Fact: Alameda Slim's original motive with the 5,000 cows was that he could use them to take over the White House as President. Honestly I preferred this alternative motivation over what we got in the movie, just because of how bat shit insane it could have been

[@cartooncritique6625]

Sounds like a scheme Brain from "Pinky and the Brain" would have come up with. XD

"Where's he goin with this?" "Ya got me."

[@crystalgemgirl731]

They didn't take Maggie because she was in a stall, away from the rest of the herd, because she's a prize winner.

[@cartooncritique6625]

Personally, I think the real reason this movie failed is because it just came out at the wrong time. This movie came out during a time when 2D animation was being overshadowed by 3D animation. Speaking for myself, I always found this movie to be a fun watch. It might not be the greatest Disney film ever made...but it's still got more heart than a lot of what they're making now.

[@keshiaanders6452]

Other then "Sweating Bull-Lets", Disney at that time also tried to make a "Pied Piper" movie. However, the latter was scrapped because of the controversy around the original story, but they use that concept for Alameda Slim's character/quirk. Only instead hypnotizing rats or children & leading them to their deaths (depending on the adaptation of "The Pied Piper" ), Slim hypnotizes cows with his yodeling & illegally selling to a black market dealer.

[@BrendanBarney]

*video gets reuploaded* DISNEEEEEEEEYYYYY!!!!

[@crcoghill]

I honestly don't see the big issues when I'm watching this movie. it's very passable to watch and has some fun character. i really like Grace and Lucky Jack myself and i didn't mind Mrs. Calloway and Maggie and i like Alameda Slim as a villain.

[@cartooncritique6625]

Same. It might not be the greatest movie Disney ever made, but it's still fun and has a lot of heart.

[@akurokushifangirl3519]

I agree. I really like the songs and the animation too and I even say I enjoy Buck as a neurotic horse, than Maximus from Tangled. Sure, he can be annoying jerk with a weak character development, but... at least he has one.

[@abrahamcortina6322]

*Spoiler Alert* Buck is one of the few characters who didn't appear in the Once Upon a Studio short special

[@abrahamcortina6322]

It's pretty weird that this movie came out 2 years after DreamWorks did Spirit and two years before Nickelodeon did Barnyard

[@ironinquisitor3656]

This movie is a guilty pleasure for me. I enjoyed when I was younger but it's not that great. It feels more like a 2d Dreamworks film than a Disney one. I can't decide what's worse though, this or Chicken Little.

[@isaacthemonke233]

Personally I think Chicken Little is worse. Atleast there's some elements here that are not only good but memorable

[@ironinquisitor3656]

@@isaacthemonke233 Agreed. Chicken Little is so mean spirited and the animation is lackluster even for it's time.

[@isaacthemonke233]

@@ironinquisitor3656 Dreamworks and Pixar are the way to go for timeless cg animation quality (with some exceptions like Shark Tale)

[@diggerfan9319]

Personally I think that Chicken Little and The Wild (which surprisingly is not canon to Disney) are worse.

[@ironinquisitor3656]

@@diggerfan9319 Chicken Little is far worse.

[@coreymyers5613]

I grew up on this movie.

[@brandongreene6175]

Same here.

[@sarahmcmann5253]

Me too

[@abrahamcortina6322]

Can you review Treasure Planet, Brother Bear, Chicken Little, and Meet the Robinsons next please

[@Toshimi1043]

Slim capturing cattle by hypnotizing them with music is silly-looking, but seems less stupid after I've seen videos of real people luring cows to them that way and heard about kulning (a scandinavian singing technique for calling and herding livestock around).

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

Will The Sun Ever Shine was a song inspired by 9/11

[@erainmartinez8175]

Okay that made me laugh 7:00🤣

[@theSBC1409]

Is there a difference between this upload and the one prior?

[@sarahsims6164]

That's what I'd like to know.

[@cartooncritique6625]

7:19 So are we just not going to talk about the fact that the dog can apparently read with his nose? :/ 9:50 Well, the director of Pocahontas did work on this film.

[@masterfarr8265]

9:55 Maybe it's his descendant

[@MrWill9002]

Originally Slim was gathering cows to take over the White House and become president…I honestly would have liked that better

[@AbrasiousProductions]

Let's be honest here, slim makes this movie watchable

[@parkercowan8648]

Can we just call Rico Red Harlow? I honestly think they’re related.

[@brandongreene6175]

It may have flopped at the box office but still a good movie to me. It's not the best movie of Walt Disney Animation Studios but it's still pretty good. I consider it one of Disney's most underrated films. I give it 7/10.

[@abrahamcortina6322]

Along with other enjoyable failures such as The Rescuers Down Under, Atlantis: Lost Empire, Treasure Planet, Meet the Robinsons, and The Good Dinosaur

2:48 Because she was behind a locked gate.

[@ltmmoviereviewsharrison3462]

Personally I think this is the worst movie in the Disney animation lineup,say what you want about the black cauldron or chicken little.but at least they felt like movies disney was putting effort into,even if they didn’t work out well,but I do respect your opinion

[@benderbendingrodriguez420]

The dad in chicken little is such a bitch tho lol

[@abrahamcortina6322]

The cows in that movie is something what the cows from Barnyard should have looked like

[@carlintaylor3229]

The incredibles came out around the same time as this wanted to see that one more but had to wait until it came to DVD got this as a gift in the mail from my uncle

[@zackrules4797]

I can see why you re-reviewed this because you use to have the footage of the movie on small screen and now you changed it to big screen.

[@matthewhedrichjr.5445]

This is one of the decent or okay, yet strange films ever made.

[@masterfarr8265]

was this before or after Randy Quaid went insane?

[@diggerfan9319]

Before.

[@gimmiekiwi]

2:46 She was locked it the gate lol

[@aidanhever3369]

Since this movie is the weakest of more comedic-oriented Disney movies like The Emperor's New Groove and Hercules, Raya and the Last Dragon is the weakest of other action-oriented Disney movies like Mulan, Tarzan, and even Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

[@BugsyFoga]

Dejavu!!!

[@Willythebear2]

I like how the cows have a horn on their asses

Yes Roseanne Barr Voice Of Maggie I Love It

Ironically, Home on the Range is not good fun for the whole family; maybe for young children, but no older.

[@awesomenick9539]

Am I the only one who thinks Alameda Slim looks like a big fat Yosemite Sam?

[@crystalgemgirl731]

I finally got to this one, you know what, I liked it. The Willie Brothers are my favorite part of the movie, they're so funny.^^

This was the one Disney movie that I did not like.
