    HOME ON THE RANGE

    • Home on the Range is the forty-fifth full-


    length animated feature film in the Disney
    Animated Canon, and was released on April
    2, 2004.

    • It tells a tale of three dairy cows in the wild


    west who search for a wanted criminal to
    save their farm from going bankrupt.
    HOME ON THE RANGE
    • This movie has mixed reviews
    from film critics and is
    notorious for being an absolute
    commercial failure (despite the
    cult following it gained on
    home video releases).
    • It is often blamed for putting
    traditionally-animated films
    out of business, considering its
    quality consensus-wise, and
    the fact that it was the last
    traditionally-animated Disney
    film until The Princess and the
    Frog and Winnie the Pooh.
    Storyline
    • Alameda Slim (Randy
    Quaid), a wanted cattle
    rustler, uses an alias to buy
    up properties all over
    western Nebraska.
    • His next target is the Patch
    of Heaven dairy farm, where
    the widow owner cares more
    for her "family" of yard
    animals than she does for
    profit. She just doesn't have
    the cash to keep in business
    or to prevent Slim from
    taking her farm.
    Storyline

    • The animals, mainly carefree


    youngsters, are unable to help,
    however, three cows of very different
    temperaments rise to the desperate
    occasion and set out to do battle for
    their dream home.
    • They team up with the Sheriff's
    megalomaniac horse and any other
    animal who can possibly help, even a
    crazy lucky rabbit and an invincible
    buffalo.
    Cast
    • Named after the
    popular country song
    of the same name,
    Home on the Range
    features the voices of
    Roseanne Barr, Judi
    Dench, Jennifer Tilly,
    Cuba Gooding Jr.,
    Randy Quaid, and
    Steve Buscemi.
    Setting

    • The film is set in the Old West, and centers on a mismatched trio of dairy cows —
    brash, adventurous Maggie; prim, proper Mrs. Caloway; and ditzy, happy-go-
    lucky Grace.
    Release
    • Home on the Range was scheduled
    for a 2003 release, while Brother
    Bear was originally slated for a
    spring 2004 release.
    • However, Disney announced that
    Brother Bear would be released in
    fall 2003, while Home on the Range
    was pushed back for a spring 2004
    release.
    • Contrary to speculation, news writer
    Jim Hill stated the release date
    switch was not because Home on
    the Range was suffering from story
    rewrites, but to promote Brother
    Bear on the Platinum Edition release
    of The Lion King.
    Box Office
    • On its opening box office weekend, Home on
    the Range grossed about $14 million in box
    office estimates, opening fourth behind
    Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Walking
    Tall, and Hellboy.
    • Following the disappointing box office
    weekend, financial analysts predicted that
    Disney would be forced to have write-down
    the production costs, which totaled more than
    $100 million.
    • Following the latter release of The Alamo,
    which also met poor box office returns, it was
    reported that Disney would have to write-
    down about $70 million.
    • The film ended its box office run with $50
    million in domestic earnings and $145.5
    million worldwide.
    Soundtrack
    • The musical score for Home on
    the Range was composed by
    Alan Menken, with original
    music written by Menken and
    Glenn Slater.
    • A soundtrack album of the film
    was released on March 30, 2004
    by Walt Disney Records. It
    contains vocal songs performed
    by k.d. lang, Randy Quaid,
    Bonnie Raitt, Tim McGraw, and
    The Beu Sisters along with the
    film's score composed by Alan
    Menken.
    What Parents Need to Know
    • Parents need to know that this movie has
    some peril (no one hurt) and mostly
    comic action sequences.
    • A roller-coaster-ish ride may be too
    intense for the youngest children.
    • The movie has brief crude humor,
    including a quick cross-dressing joke, and
    some mild language.
    • Some children may be upset by the idea
    of having a bank foreclose a mortgage
    and might need to be reassured that their
    home is safe.
    Movie review by Nell Minow,
    Common Sense Media
    • Parents need to know that this
    movie has some peril (no one hurt)
    and mostly comic action sequences.
    • A roller-coaster-ish ride may be too
    intense for the youngest children.
    • The movie has brief crude humor,
    including a quick cross-dressing
    joke, and some mild language.
    Some children may be upset by the
    idea of having a bank foreclose a
    mortgage and might need to be
    reassured that their home is safe.
    It's a Disney film, this is inevitable.
