Home on the Range Ordinarily, an animated movie about talking, singing cows, which contains the tag line "Bust a moo," might be udderly (sorry, couldn't help it) cringe-inducing.

As Disney movies go, it's not extraordinary enough to be deemed an instant classic; the story from the writing-directing duo of Will Finn and John Sanford is weak and the pacing drags a bit in the middle. But kids will enjoy the colorful characters and grown-ups will chuckle at many of the jokes. Featuring the voices of Roseanne Barr, Judi Dench, Jennifer Tilly, Randy Quaid and Steve Buscemi.
