BTW does anyone know why in Brother Bear 2 they used the voice of Patrick Dempsey instaed of Pheonix from the first movie. It just seems a bit strange seeing as Pheonix isnt dead. I mean they ussualy only change the voices if the actors are dead...
Or if they don't feel like paying the original actor the amount they want, or if the original actor doesn't want to return, either of which could be the case here.

[quote="Timon/Pumbaa fan"]Anyway, I like Home on the Range. It's no masterpiece, I'll admit, but I still am baffled how much bad word it gets. Sadly I bet every last dollar I own that if HOTR were made by someone other than Disney(could be anyone) and it'd get better word than it has. I mean how is it worse than Spongebob Squarepants? Yet it managed to get decent reviews and about 30 million at the box office more than "Range". People thought a film about talking cows looked bad because they were cows, but then how did SharkTale make a profit, it looked horrible from the previews and... it turned out pretty horrible. Yet, "Range" gets picked on mainly because it's made by Disney. I don't see why Disney always get a beating no matter what they do. [quote]
I agree with you about Home on the Range, and I will take it over Spongebob any day! Randy Quaid was perfect as Alameda Slim. I think it has some fabulous songs in the soundtrack: Will the Sun Ever Shine Again, Little Patch of Heaven, and Wherever the Trail May Lead are all favorites of mine.
I also liked Treasure Planet, but I was 36 years old when I saw it the first time. My sons, who are 10 and 6, have absolutely no interest in TP and call it, "boring." I don't believe that Disney wanted the movie to tank at the box office. Instead, I think they missed the mark with the target audience. In my opinion, teenagers are more interested in trying to go to a "cool" movie than an animated feature.
