Before any of them can do anything, Slim begins a yodeling vocal which sends all the cattle (except Grace, who is tone deaf) into a trance that causes them to dance madly and follow Slim anywhere. Grace is able to bring Maggie and Mrs. Calloway back to their senses merely before Slim closes the path behind him with a rock-slide to cease Rico and his men from chasing him. As Rico discusses with his men what his adjacent move will be, Buck starts talking with Maggie, Grace, and Mrs. Calloway as onetime friends and miming actions.

Production
Before he pitched the idea for Pocahontas, director Mike Gabriel considered adapting Western legends such as Annie Oakley, Buffalo Neb, and Pecos Bill into animated films. When he pitched both projects at the Gong Show coming together, the executives were more interested in Pocahontas, which went into product first.[2] [3]
When Pocahontas was finished, Gabriel went dorsum to his Western pitch and came up with an "idea that might combine Captains Courageous with a Western." Gabriel so developed his concept into a forty-page film handling, which was well received past and so-Feature Animation president Peter Schneider. Presently after, the projection, then titled Sweating Bullets, went into evolution."[iv] The story originated as a supernatural western about a timid cowboy who visits a ghost town and confronts an undead cattle hustler named Slim. It was later reconceived into a story about a petty balderdash named Bullets,[5] that wanted to be more similar the horses that led the herd.[6]
In 1999, in an attempt to salvage the production and retain the existing characters and background art, story artist Michael LaBash suggested a different approach to the story with ane that involved three cow protagonists who get bounty hunters to salve the farm. Building on the idea, fellow story artists Sam Levine, Marking Kennedy, Robert Lence, and Shirley Pierce developed a new storyline.[half-dozen] However, in 2000, Mike Gabriel and co-director Mike Giaimo were removed from the project because of the persistent story problems. Returning to Disney Feature Animation later on The Road to El Dorado at DreamWorks Animation, Will Finn, who was originally slated to be the supervising animator on Maggie, and John Sanford were brought onboard to direct by October 2000.[7] [viii]

Contrary to speculation, news writer Jim Hill stated the release date switch was not because Abode on the Range was suffering from story rewrites, but to promote Brother Comport on the Platinum Edition release of The Lion King.[16]

Reception
Critical reception
Rotten Tomatoes reported that 53% of critics gave positive reviews based on 129 reviews, with an average rating of 5.vii/x. The website'southward disquisitional consensus is: "Though Abode on the Range is likeable and may proceed young children diverted, it's i of Disney's more middling titles, with garish visuals and a dull plot."[17] On Metacritic, the pic has a score of 50 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.[19]
Nathan Rabin, reviewing for The A.V. Social club, praised the film describing information technology equally "a sweet, raucously funny, comic Western that corrects a glaring historical injustice by finally surveying the Old West through the eyes of cows rather than cowboys."[twenty] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Lord's day-Times gave the film 2.v stars out of 4, saying that "A movie similar this is fun for kids: brilliant, quick-paced, with broad, outrageous characters. Simply Home on the Range doesn't accept the crossover quality of the peachy Disney films like Beauty and the Beast and The Panthera leo King. And it doesn't have the freshness and originality of a more traditional movie similar Lilo & Stitch. Its real futurity, I suspect, lies in home video. It's merely 76 minutes long, just although kids volition like information technology, their parents will be sneaking looks at their watches."[21] Claudia Puig of USA Today wrote favorably in her review that "Home on the Range is a throwback to one-time Disney cartoons: fun, rather than message-laden, with wide humour and entertaining action. The cheerful, plucky characters accept heart and loyalty, and that'south enough to make this a worthy family-friendly animated fest."[22] Nell Minow of Common Sense Media gave the film four out of v stars, saying that "I love it when Disney doesn't take itself too seriously. No 1 tried to achieve for the stars or make this into a archetype. Home on the Range is just a cute fiddling story almost some not-so-contented cows who save the day. It modestly aspires to be nothing more than a lot of fun, and information technology does that job very well.[23]
Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times criticized the weak one-act writing that "Unrestrained energy is hardly a bad thing for animation — the all-time cartoons are built on the contradictory pursuit of meticulously arranged anarchy—simply they never seem needy, or desperate for laughs, equally Home on the Range does. The film seems hungrier for a pat on the head than a chuckle."[24] Similarly, Los Angeles Times moving-picture show critic Kenneth Turan claimed "Home on the Range may be adequate on reflection, merely its formulaic desire to mix wisecracks for adults with pratfalls for kids is feeling thin, and its overall air of frantic hysteria does not wearable well either."[25] Michael Wilmington of The Chicago Tribune noted "Satirizing the moving picture Western tin can make for a great cartoon, as it does in Jiri Trnka's brilliant 1949 Czech short Vocal of the Prairie, a puppet version of Stagecoach. But Abode isn't good satire or skilful slapstick. Information technology does have those lyrical, catchy Menken tunes, and the picture perks up whenever Raitt or lang sing 1 of them. But much of this picture show is deadly. Home keeps milking the same gags and throwing the aforementioned bull, and after a while you experience cowed watching information technology."[26]
Box office
On its opening box office weekend, Home on the Range grossed near $xiv million in box office estimates, opening fourth behind Scooby Doo two: Monsters Unleashed, Walking Tall, and Hellboy.[27] Post-obit the disappointing box function weekend, financial analysts predicted that Disney would be forced to have write-down the product costs, which totaled more than than $100 million.[28] Following the latter release of The Alamo, which likewise met poor box office returns, information technology was reported that Disney would have to write-downwardly well-nigh $lxx million.[29] [thirty] The picture show ended its box role run with $50 one thousand thousand in domestic earnings and $145.5 million worldwide.[1]
