| Home on the Range : 4 of 5 | |

 As usual, whenever I watch a Disney animated feature on DVD for the first time, I love it even more than I did in the theater! Even though I enjoyed Home on the Range on the big screen (though I thought it was kind of a weak way to end the legacy of traditionally-animated movies), I really had a fantastic time watching it on the small screen (well, my TV's not that small). There are so many hilarious gags that I missed before, and I even appreciate the animation style now. I was even able to develop more of an emotional attachment to the characters, because at the big "happy ending" scene when everyone's celebrating, I got those Disney tears (just because everything is so damn cute)! The bonus material is pretty good for a single-DVD release, although it includes much more fluff than substance. There are some yodelling games and a pretty good new animated short (though not in the style of the film), and a short documentary that shows the film crew on a cattle drive, sketching ideas, and working with the voice actors. I'm really glad they included a commentary track (it must have been a last minute decision, since it isn't even mentioned on the packaging!) to fill out the bonus items for animation fans. I can definitely see myself watching Home on the Range again and again in the future!
