A few year’s back Disney could not miss being at the top of the box office charts, but other than Finding Nemo last year and their Toy Story films, which all were made with their one-time partner Pixar, Disney seems to be falling further and further down the line.
The one time animated giant is being pushed to the side as more and more studios are beginning to pump out animated features and with Home on the Range they continue their downward spiral.
In Home on the Range the happy frontier life is facing its doom as a group of three cows, played by loud-mouth Roseanne Barr, the prim and proper Dame Judi Dench and the dimwitted Jennifer Tilly, must figure out a way to raise enough money to prevent for closure on Patch of Heaven, their owner’s ranch.
In the process of figuring out what to do they here that a bandit has been roaming the countryside with a bounty large enough to pay off the debt owed on the land.
Sounds good enough for a Disney film right? Well, unfortunately this film never really surpasses anything you would be likely to see in a television cartoon. The imagination and originality that was once Disney has all but vanished and lately they seem to be churning out movies that are just too heavy-handed (Brother Bear) or too light on the gags that made the studio famous. They have now turned to big name voices to bring their characters to life, but they forgot that without good material a voice is just a voice.
As far as this one goes I must advise you to stay home as Home on the Range just doesn’t feel like home at all.
