Why no McDonald's tie in to "Home.."

[Palendat]

Does anyone know why there was no McDonald's Happy Meal tie-in with Home on the Range. This is the first recent animated Disney movie that I remember not having some sort of toy? Does anyone know the last one without a toy tie-in??

I was wondering the same thing. Even The Emperor's New Groove had a happy meal... it seems like it would be better for McD's to have "Home on the Range" than it would for "Dogz" or whatever they have right now.

I imagine they'll maybe have a toy for the DVD release?

Did they have anything for Brother Bear as well?? I can't remember back that far.

They did do brother bear stuff.

Possibly like the cow says in the movie, "Professional Courtesy"

Could it possibly be due to the fact that the film is lousy and disappointing?

I must say that my two little cousins liked it when I took them, but everyone above the age of 10 thought it was the worst Disney movie in a long time (even worse than Atlantis, Brother Bear, and the seriously undderated Treasure Planet).

Think about it. A movie about cows.................hamburgers. They just don't go together. Yuck!

One message of the film is that a small farm can defeat factory farms. McDonald's is depedent on factory farms to supply the excessive amounts of beef/chicken/eggs/cheese (animal products) that they push. I think it is logical for them not to tie into this movie.

I did enjoy the movie and was glad to see a major motion picture company quietly protest factory farms. I am a vegan (strict vegetarian) and a member of PETA. I was glad to see the message on the big screen. I guess this was my "Passion." Now if "Animal Cruelty...The Movie" can ever make it to theaters...

We were surprised that there was no tie-in, we didn't really think about the conflict issue. We are from the south and really miss Chick-fil-a, they don't have them up here. Anyway, would have been a great tie-in with HOTR as they do that cow add, "eat more Chikn" thing anyway LOL.......Lacee

Ahhh, Chic-fil-a. *sigh*
