The American West is brought to the screen in vivid purple and blue animation in Disney's barnyard adventure HOME ON THE RANGE. With geometric patches representing a vast expanse of farmland, and landscapes ranging from rocky desert to lush green pastures, this classic cartoon--no Pixar influence here--is visually pleasing in its simplicity. The lively personalities of Roseanne Barr, Judi Dench, and Jennifer Tilly bring raucous fun to the three bovine heroines: Maggie (Barr)--a big brash prize-winning cow, Mrs. Caloway (Dench)--a refined and ladylike cow who won't be seen without her purple bonnet, and Grace (Tilly)--a New Age cow who swears by peaceful, holistic solutions. These girls are determined to save their farm from the greedy land baron Alameda Slim (Randy Quaid) and they set off on a trek as self-appointed bounty hunters to win the $750 prize for Slim's capture. Along the way they lock horns with the sheriff's horse Buck (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) who, in the end, helps them save the day. Catchy music by Bonnie Raitt and K.D. Lang adds to the fun-filled adventure of HOME ON THE RANGE, a movie that is sure to please family members of all ages.
Cast:
"This throwback to old Disney cartoons is fun, rather than message-laden, with broad humor and entertaining action."
-- Claudia Puig
, (USA Today)
"[The movie] has the genial friendliness of a 1940s singing cowboy movie..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times) "In many ways it's a breath of fresh air: solidly 2D, including its narrative. In equal measure it's a road comedy, western musical and good ole race against the clock." -- Tim Cogshell , (Box Office) "[T]he antics have a pleasing lightness of touch..." -- Andrew Osmond , (Sight and Sound) |
