Home on the Range is the 45th entry in the Disney Animated Canon, released on April 2, 2004.Chronologically the last traditionally animated feature of the Disney Animated Canon released until 2009's The Princess and the Frog, and third-to-last after that and Winnie the Pooh (2011).In Ye Olde Wild West, three cows named Maggie, Mrs. Calloway, and Grace live on a small, cozy farm named Patch of Heaven with other animals. When the farm is threatened with foreclosure, our heroines must act to save their home. They plan to achieve this by capturing a big-name cattle rustler named Alameda Slim for his bounty, which is the exact amount they need.The cows are voiced by Roseanne Barr (Maggie), Judi Dench (Mrs. Calloway), and Jennifer Tilly (Grace). Other notable voices include Cuba Gooding Jr., Randy Quaid and Steve Buscemi.This film is not related to the Western mystery/comedy novel series Holmes on the Range. | |

Right Behind Me | |
| Home on the Range / int_170128e9 | comment |
Right Behind Me: After fooling Rico's horse into running away, Buck remarks that he "must be takin' stupid lessons" from Slim's buffalo, Junior. Guess where we pan to after that statement... | |

End of an Age: This was the last Disney film to use the CAPS digital ink-and-paint system that had been in use since The Little Mermaid (1989). The Princess and the Frog used the more modern Toon Boom system. | |

Villain Song | |
| Home on the Range / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: "Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo" starts out as a typical villain song where the villain brags about how mean he is, but then the yodeling starts, turning the scene into a goofy Disney Acid Sequence. | |

Chekhov's Gun: Mrs. Calloway's Berserk Button is weaponized by Maggie to break the cows out of a train car. During the Patch of Heaven song you can see a train in close proximity, and on Slim's map of property you can see the train tracks near the land. Guess how the cows get back to the ranch in time. | |

Break the Haughty: A very sad example for Buck when it is revealed that his idol, Rico, is actually a mercenary who has been working for Slim all along. Seriously, as much of an obnoxious jerk he was to the cows, it's hard not to feel sorry for him. | |

When passing by the Dixon Ranch later on, the trio see it being sold to a heavy-set man named Yancy O'Dell. Sharp-eyed viewers can see that he has Alameda Slim's characteristic red moustache and hair underneath his hat, and once Slim's modus operandi of using yodelling to control cattle is revealed, it becomes clear that it's him in disguise. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Home on the Range / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Buck is initially annoying and selfish towards the cows, but close to the end, he joins their team and helps them escape. Also Mrs. Calloway, with her hotheadedness but still huge heart. And Jeb the grumpy goat, as proven in the climax. When Slim pulls out a pistol at the three bovines, Jeb is the first one to call for attack and he and the piggies launch several tin cans at Slim, knocking his pistol away. Maggie as well. She is a prize winning cow and can be headstrong and aggressive. She is also loyal to her new home and kind to her new family. | |

Kansas City Shuffle | |
| Home on the Range / int_4bfcfa7c | comment |
Kansas City Shuffle: In general, Alameda Slim's plan is this. He abducts all cattle from a farm and sells it on the black market. He then waits for said farm to go bankrupt after being deprived of its main source of income. He then swoops in, in disguise of course, and buys out the farm to take over the land. | |

Sarcasm-Blind: Somewhat subverted; Maggie can completely understand Calloway's sarcasm, but when the former gets the idea of bringing Slim in to save the farm, she’s too eager about her idea to take Calloway's sarcastic remark seriously. | |

Foreshadowing: When we first meet Maggie after Slim manages to swipe her fellow cattle from her old home, her eyes look a little multi-colored and she looks dizzy inside her locked paddock before shaking them both off and there was some yodeling heard before the cattle was gone. This foreshadows that Slim has hypnotic powers over cattle through his yodelling. When passing by the Dixon Ranch later on, the trio see it being sold to a heavy-set man named Yancy O'Dell. Sharp-eyed viewers can see that he has Alameda Slim's characteristic red moustache and hair underneath his hat, and once Slim's modus operandi of using yodelling to control cattle is revealed, it becomes clear that it's him in disguise. | |

Lucky Rabbit's Foot: Lucky Jack is a jackrabbit with a peg-leg and incredibly bad luck, implying that someone took one of his feet, and with it all his good luck. | |

| Home on the Range / int_abd29ad8 | comment |
No-Sell: Slim's hypnotic yodeling has no effect on Grace, because she’s not on "perfect pitch" like the rest of the cattle. It especially helps since she's the only one that doesn’t turn multicolored during the Disney-acid Villain Song. | |

Real Is Brown: At least compared with most Disney cartoons. It takes place somewhere "West of Nebraska", so most of the scenery is made up of rocks, dirt, and sand. | |

False Utopia | |
| Home on the Range / int_b535a9d6 | comment |
False Utopia: Pearl's farm is idyllic, charming, homey — and extremely hard just to keep afloat. Pearl mentions that she's weathered blizzards and tornadoes and is constantly getting notices from the bank. This is compounded by the fact that she refuses to sell off any of her animals, whom she considers family. | |

The Ace: Rico the Bounty Hunter, whom Buck idolizes and many people recognize as one of the greats. Rico's eventually revealed to be a mercenary who's been working for Alameda Slim the entire time, covering up the BigBad's tracks so he doesn't get caught—when Buck discovers this (the hard way), he's absolutely heartbroken. | |

Ink-Suit Actor: Steve Buscemi as Mr. Wesley. One might say the same about Roseanne Barr, Judi Dench, and Jennifer Tilly as actual cows. Randy Quaid as Alameda Slim; almost no difference. One can definitely see Cuba Gooding Jr. as a horse. Then there's former Governor Ann Richards as Annie, the owner of the saloon. | |

Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Mrs. Calloway is mostly black; Maggie is a very reddish brown; Grace's color is a very light brown. Comparing these cows to humans, they'd respectively be a brunette, a redhead and a blonde (Grace is even troped as a Dumb Blonde, see Character page...). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Home on the Range / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: At one point, Maggie refers to Buck as "Stallion of the Ci-MORON" "Mother of Mercy. Is this the end of Rico?" Alameda Slim sells his stolen cattle to a guy named Wesley, but insists on calling him "Weasley". Slim's sequined outfit and singing is a reference to Roy Rogers, the Singing Cowboy. During Slim's villain song, one of the tunes he yodels is the The William Tell Overture. In fact, a lot of Slim's yodeling borrows tunes from other music, including from Wagner and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. | |

Patch of Heaven is shaped the exact same way as one of the Willie Brothers' heads, and he always happens to sit in the same spot at their hideout in front of the map Slim uses to note the various properties he's acquired such that the farm is hidden from Slim's viewpoint, meaning that Slim consistently never noticed he'd yet to buy Patch of Heaven. Slim Lampshades this upon finding out. | |

Weak Boss, Strong Underlings | |
| Home on the Range / int_ce147566 | comment |
Weak Boss, Strong Underlings: Pearl Gesner has been a farmer her whole life, so she's rather fit for an old lady. Proof of this is that she has run a farm all on her own, which involves doing heavy labor such as raising animals and harvesting crops. She still manages to fall under this trope because, well, she owns a trio of very determined and loyal cows. Cows are way stronger than any human being. | |

You Can't Go Home Again | |
| Home on the Range / int_da12bcfb | comment |
You Can't Go Home Again: Maggie's beloved home, the Dixon Ranch, was raided by Slim, leaving her the only remaining cow. She's sold to Patch of Heaven at the beginning of the film, along with all the issues one might expect to arise from this. This also applies to Lucky Jack, who, as he says, once lived in Echo Mine along with many other jackrabbits for generations, until Slim arrived and kicked 'em out. | |

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| Home on the Range / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: Alameda Slim's Villain Song, Yodel-Adle-Eedle-Idle-Oo, starts off very ominously as the infamous cattle rustler shows up in the dark of the nighttime desert and exposits about how skilled and dangerous he is while seemingly unaware of Maggie's efforts to attack him, and for a moment it looks like he's about to shoot her with a rifle. And then he starts yodeling, and the whole scene becomes more upbeat and colorful, even funny and loaded with self-deprecation about his Ironic Nickname. | |

When Jeb and the piggies get into a dispute over the former taking a can from the latter and it escalates to both parties getting into a scuffle, Mrs. Calloway chastises the piggies for attacking Jeb yet allows them to have the can, pointing out that Jeb already has more than enough cans already. | |

Chekhov's Gunman: The rabbit seen at the very beginning later helps out the cows by showing them where Alameda Slim's hideout is. As the cows pass Maggie's old farm, we see a heavyset man known as Mr. O'Del buying it. After Slim and his gang return to their base after another rustling job, it's revealed that Slim, in his disguise as Mr. O'Del, bought Maggie's farm. | |
