No podcast love for "Home on the Range"?

[columnwest]

Hi all, was just listening to the podcast, and during the discussion of "The Princess and the Frog", Teresa asked what was the last (previous) hand-drawn Disney animated feature film. The response from the rest of the round-table was "Lilo and Stitch" (released June 2002).

Have we all forgotten about "Treasure Planet" (which combined hand-drawn and computer graphics, November 2002), "Brother Bear" (2003), and "Home on the Range" (2004)?

Or, perhaps we're all *trying* to forget them.

hahaha I was yelling HOME ON THE RANGE! BROTHER BEAR! TREASURE PLANET! at the stereo today! my mom told me to stop and told me they cant hear me from the car .

I've never seen Home On the Range, but I caught that mistake too. An easy one to make! Lilo and Stitch was probably the last hand drawn movie most people saw! I've never seen Brother Bear either, but I must admit I enjoyed (and own...) Treasure Planet.

 

[Grumpy's Old Lady]

Good catch! I only saw Brother Bear out of the three they didn't mention. I saw it with my DS. He loves bears and use to collect anything with bears. I thought it was a good movie, but probably not memorable.

Brother Bore????

The only good thing about Home On the Range was k/d. lang's theme song.

KD Lang? Where is she now? Oh yeah, I think she is singing at the Flower & Garden show this year

Huzzah for standing up for the underlings, Chris!! (I own all three of these films and sadly will admit I have watched each of them more than once.)

 

[MrX8991]

Having seen all three, I must say Treasure Planet is underrated. Sure, it's not a classic, but it's still a good movie. Brother Bear I also really enjoyed. I think it might have been the first movie that ever made me cry.

Home on the Range, however, was not good. As soon as it was over, I had essentially forgotten everything that had happened because I didn't care. The music was good, though.

I think you misunderstood what I said.

I said that was the only good part or the movie Home On The Range.

 

[cj9200]

Yes, I also caught that. Sorry but the missed ones were all forgettable in my opinion. Maybe they meant successful hand drawn animation features.

 

[BriarRosie]

"Home on the Range"...ugh. Horrible movie.

Of the three, I liked "Treasure Planet" best. Marginally. That and "Atlantis". I'm lukewarm on these films.

But I loved "Princess and the Frog". Except that weird part in the middle with the hunters. That reminded me of the scene in "The Aristocats" where the basset hounds were chasing after the Edgar the butler.

I own Home on the range and Brother Bear. I love Brother Bear!

treasure planet= ew.

I know I'm in the minority , but I loved "Home on the Range"
Brother Bear was OK and I never saw "Treasure Planet" , was it any good ?

Brother Bore????

The only good thing about Home On the Range was k/d. lang's theme song.

KD Lang's song was great. she has such a beautiful , sometimes haunting voice.

Of the movies mentioned I think Atlantis was the best. I really liked that movie. Treasure Planet had so much potential but they did a bad job translating the story. It was a great concept but poor execution. Rumor has it they had to re-write a lot of the movie to remove some of the violence (and all of the swords) because it was released not too long after 9/11 and they didn't want to overplay the violence. I understand the idea but if you want Treasure Island in space to work you can't remove the best parts of the original book. I loved the original novel and wish it would have been translated better.

I agree. I own both Treasure Planet and Atlantis even though I was disappointed in Treasure Planet. I would love to have seen it the way they originally wanted to tell the story.

I don't think I've ever seen Home on the Range, and the only reason I own Brother Bear is because my niece was young enough at the time to enjoy it.

Hi Kevin, I never saw the movie Home on The Range, but if KD Lang was the only good thing about the movie, then that movie was in trouble. I maybe will watch it on Netflix, curious to see how bad it is.

 

[dpuck1998]

I enjoyed Brother bear....maybe just because my kids were the perfect movie going age when it came out.

 

[PK Disney Dork]

I'd have to say that Atlantis and Brother Bear are the best of that pack.

Brother Bear, while weak at spots does have re-watchability and you can't go wrong with Bob and Doug Mackinzie as moose!

Atlantis I just love! Plus it has the forgotten princess in it...Princess Kida anyone!!!???

 

[PeterPan09]

One of the big criticisms I heard about Treasure Planet and Atlantis was the style of animation and how different it was from traditional Disney animation. If you're a fan of video games like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy the style is very similar. That might have been one of the reasons that they weren't as successful.

Have we all forgotten about ..."Home on the Range" (2004)?

Yes... yes we have...

We actually FELL ASLEEP trying to watch Home on the Range on DVD.


I kind of liked Treasure Planet, though. It wasn't horrible. Never saw Brother Bear, but we did like the ABC commercials with the moose's saying "Eh - BC".
