Disney animation Home on the Range stars, probably for the first time ever, three cows! Now maybe it's just because I'm lactose intolerant, but I've always thought cows were kind of boring, but when they're voiced by Dame Judi Dench, Roseanne Barr and Jennifer Tilly, they'll hold your attention.
Home on the Range is set in the wild west when prize-winning dairy cow Maggie is given to Pearl, the owner of the "Patch of Heaven" farm after her owner's bankrupted by cattle rustlers. Then Pearl finds out she's got three days to pay off her bank loan or she'll lose her home and livestock. So three dairy cows go to trap cattle rustler Alameida Slim so that they can claim the reward and save the farm.
It's not Disney's best, but it's lovingly rendered and beautifully coloured. And Cuba Gooding Junior as wannabe hotshot horse Buck is hilarious. I rate it 3½ stars for kids and 2 stars for adults.
