I just looked at the site and I love it the movie looks great. I really think that it is going to be a really fun movie. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD.

Oh, if you're counting non-Disney theatrical animation, we do get one 2D feature next year (from Universal.) Curious George!

I can't believe I am only just looking at this now!

This will keep me occupied for hours you realise? (And thus, keeping me off the board and out of trouble).

Very cool - thanks, Danny!

I love that the question I was thinking of (which ones have been rated PG before) was answered as soon I logged on. And yes, I'm very excited about this movie and love the music so far. Reminiscent of the Frontierland music in WDW.

I think it looks great. Certainly fun, and I love the look of the animation, design. And the songs sound good, also. I'd been anticipating it, and now...even more so!

According to the website, it seems this film will not be a musical after all, that is, the characters won't sing. Too bad. I was so looking forward to another Disney musical...

Home on the Range seems like it is going to be a big flop. Whatever happened to the Cinderella, Aladdin, Little Mermaid, type of stories? Those ones, when well done, have always been Disney's best. They have had adventure, comedy, and romance. They are the definition of Disney magic. It looks like Home on the Range is a combination of Shrek and Finding Nemo done with drawings. I don't think it is going to be any good whatsoever.

Shrek and Finding Nemo with drawings??? explain please.... especially since HOTR has been through a troubled production since 1995 (when those two werent even in the picture yet)... I think this is more Chuck Jones meets ENG meets Mary Poppins... love the look.. :D

I completely agree.

Not so sure about this part, but I'm not really making any judgements, pro or con, until I see it. All I'll say for now is that I do want to see it.

I do, however, hope for a 2-D musical animated classic again!

I've loved all of Alan Menken's previous scores... Little Shop of Horrors, Little Mermaid, Beauty & the Beast, Newsies, etc. Such memorable music!

So why aren't the song samples for Home On The Range making any impression on me? :? It's strange. Maybe it's because I'm not into country music...

As for the movie itself... I've watched the trailer repeatedly, hoping the concept and jokes would grow on me, but it leaves me bored every time. I *want* to get excited about this movie...but I can't.

And "Home On The Range" is SUCH a boring title.

Why not... "Til The Cows Come Home" ...

... or "They Bought (Back) The Farm" ....

... or "MOOvin' Out!" ;)

Man, who remembers "Sweating Bullets" as the original title for this movie? That is the coolest name for a western!!!!

Yeah, "Sweating Bullets" is a much better title than "Home on the Range", which feels a little bland. The first one gets your attention, and as Danny said, is a really cool title for a western. But I guess Disney didn't want "bullets" in the title, so they changed it. :roll:

Eeek! I didn't mean to include the "big flop" sentence. I don't necessarily agree with that! Sorry for the goof-up.
