Home on the Range is a 2004 American animated Western music comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. Written and directed by Will Finn and John Sanford, it stars the voices of Roseanne Barr, Judi Dench, Jennifer Tilly, Cuba Gooding Jr., Randy Quaid, and Steve Buscemi. It features original songs written by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater, and an original musical orchestral score also composed by Menken.
Set in the Old West, Home on the Range centers on a mismatched trio of dairy cows—brash, adventurous Maggie; prim, proper Mrs. Calloway; and ditzy, happy-go-lucky Grace. The three cows must capture an infamous rustler named Alameda Slim for his bounty in order to save their idyllic farm from foreclosure. Aiding them in their quest is Lucky Jack, a feisty, peg-legged rabbit, and a selfish horse named Buck, eagerly working in the service of Rico, a famous bounty hunter, who seeks the glory for himself.
Home on the Range premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles on March 21, 2004, and was released in the United States on April 2. The film received mixed reviews from critics and underperformed at a box office, grossing $145.3 million worldwide against a production budget of $110 million.
