No joke, when my family first watched this (as if we ever watched it again) when I was 10, the only part I laughed at even then was how stupid the henchmen were, and only because it was so ridiculous. To this day, that is the only part of the movie I remember even.

@whitetipvelociraptor5759

4 ай бұрын

Same!

A few explanations: 1. The joke about the henchmen not recognizing Slim in disguise isn't that the disguise is that bad but that he literally changes into the disguise in front of them and they don't have the object permanence to recognize him. Even if a disguise was complete perfection when a normal person sees you putting on the disguise they wouldn't be fooled by it. 2. Rico's villainy makes sense in so far that he only goes after criminals that are not Slim because he pays him and that he prevents the other guys from catching him (that's why they're late, you mentioned that). He's a bounty hunter that always follows what makes the most money. Buck's arc is about recognizing that heroics just for heroics' sake is meaningless when you're not doing it for a good cause. Buck idolized Rico because he was so cool and catching all the bad guys, Buck chose to go after Slim just to look heroic and impress Rico despite the cows having a much better reason to be the ones to bring Slim down. His idol turning out to be a bad guy himself is what makes Buck realize that just looking cool and heroic means nothing against actually doing the right thing which he then chooses to do. Him still wanting to look cool while doing so is not a big character flaw which is why he keeps this aspect of his character. 3. Buck working against the cows for half of the movie means that he's an antagonist for that time and you're not supposed to root for him. That's also why Maggie gets to mock him as much as she does not because he's arrogant but because he's actively trying to make their life harder. In the buffalo scene he even has the audacity to try to get the cows to help him weasel his way in so why shouldn't Maggie mock him for that? Him being a funny and ineffective antagonist is what makes him comparatively easy to forgive at the end but I guess that is difficult to make work when you find him annoying instead. I would also argue that Buck gets the comeuppance for many of his bad actions by how much sh*t happens to him in the movie; for example immediately after he tricks the other horse and insults it and the buffalo he runs into the buffalo again who heard that and reacts accordingly. 4. I don't think the guy cows were supposed to come off as creepy, just kind of stupid and incompetent at flirting. Grace is very receptive to them and Mrs Caloway was also very receptive to the buffalo who she ends up with. How necessary that plotline is is another question. 5. The reason Maggie wasn't caught the first time is because she was in her box and the door was closed so she couldn't get out even though she was still very much hynotized. 6. The idea behind the main trio is having characters with opposite personalities that can't stand each other having to team up to fulfill a mission and over time they recognize the good parts about each other and learn to get along better. Maggie's arc is about not only valuing show life and prizes but the bonds in a family and Mrs Caloway's is about loosening up and not being so strict on everything having to be prim and proper all the time. Grace gets along with both from the start and tries to mediate and encourages them to see each other's point of view. That's why they don't fundamentally change as characters but rather their relationship to each other. How good or badly the film accomplished this is debatable but that's the idea behind it. Maggie is also not as mean as you make her out to be. Yes, she's somewhat self-absorbed and loves getting attention but when she interacts with the other farm animals she mainly wants to entertain them. She makes jokes and does tricks and the others enjoy it. 7. The joke with the rabbit is that he's so insanely unlucky that this kind of stuff happens to him all the time despite him being a rabbit (with a rabbit's foot, obviously, which are supposedly lucky) and he's so used to it that it doesn't even faze him anymore. The opening goes for the same kind of slapstick humour that Scrat in the Ice Age movies does. I agree with several points you made (like the plot being guided by too many coincidences and the characters not having enough bonding time for the big emotions) but I think you're very much too harsh on a film that mostly wants to be an over-the-top comedy. Humour is subjective as you said, for me most of the jokes landed when I watched it several times as a kid and I still laughed at many of the scenes you explicitly complained about not being funny while watching this video. This is the type of movie that has ridiculous nonsensical stuff happen just because it's funny (like The Emperor's New Groove). It's not amazing by any means but I'd call it passably good and entertaining.

I think the biggest point of absolute rage for me is that THIS is what killed the Renaissance for good. If Disney’s 2D department had gone under with The Black Cauldron, at least it would’ve been an ambitious project. Heck, if Atlantis or Treasure Planet had been their swan song, they would’ve gone out on an absolute banger! But no. It’s a juvenile, mild, bland, absolute stereotype of what family friendly animation is. Other than a brief resurgence with Princess and the Frog and Whinnie the Pooh, THIS is what killed 2D American animation. And that is sickeningly horrid to me.

Oh please. You honestly believe that Disney wasn't already trying to kill 2D animation? Ever since Pixar started making more money than them, they were determined to sabotage their own 2D movies. The only reason why they continued to make 2D animation in the 2000's is because those movies were already in pre-development and because Roy E. Disney had a fallout with Michael Eisner. But they sabotaged the marketing of movies like Atlantis and Treasure Planet by releasing them against movies they knew were going to be huge successes like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings and releasing Princess and the Frog against Avatar. However, now that Pixar is now in Disney's position during the 2000's. Computers have become so advanced now that photorealistic animation is beginning to feel sterile. People now want 3D animation with 2D filters like Spider-Verse and Puss in Boots.

I think the only form of decent, innocent crude humor was in Thomas the Tank Engine of all places, where Percy misunderstood how to say a word, and just blurted out "testicles?" He clearly was saying that by accident, and as a kid the joke flew way over my head, but it's hilarious to see as an adult now, without souring my memory of the series either. If you'd ever give crude humor a pass, I'd say situations like that are the best ways to do it when kids are a factor as well.

The real reason why you became Evil Rockotar was because you were sick and tired of those three cows being obnoxious so you decided to become evil and steal the villains spotlight--

If I had to guess. The villain was probably a rancher before the homestead act. Because they pretty much grabbed the land, without legal authority. Then the homesteaders came in and legally got the land, taking it away from the original rancher. It was a popular western (at least by Louis Lamor) plotline.

I though the only motive he had was he couldn't take criticism over people not liking his yodeling?

So, as a fun fact, the random bull who has a line in this "maybe we can help you" (it's been a long time since I saw this and don't feel like rewatching it any time soon, but i think the bull shows up twice) is voiced by one of the animators. The same animator would later go on to randomly be the voice of Rhino the Hamster in Bolt. He says they regularly have animators voice roles as they are animating it since it makes it a little easier to actually animate. The higher-ups usually watch it so they can get more of a feel for the characters so they can voice them, and on very rare occasions the character ends up with one of the animator's voices - obviously this is more common with the smaller roles (like the bulls who have just 1 line).

Yanno, when I was a child I used to absolutely love this movie. And to this very day, I still have a soft spot for it, even after knowing after growing up (and after this video) how obnoxiously bad it is. The reason: the voice acting And no, I don't mean the original voice acting. I'm brazilian, and when this movie came out, our voice acting directors managed to cast the absolute most PERFECT matches for each character. I mean it when I say that the way our voice actors play their characters makes the characters, their interactions, and even the plot a 1000x better. It was spot on. And to this day I get good laughs even at the terrible jokes because of how expressive and fitting the voices are for the characters. That's how good brazilian voice acting is

Only think i can tell about the farmer lady is that she reminds me of my grandma. And i can tell personalitywise about the part where Patch of Heaven survived many bad weathers must tell she's pretty tough and able to protect her animals.

Even though I’m a huge Chicken Little apologist I was fully expecting it to be on this list

I think it’s implied that Alameda Slim wants revenge because in the scene at the mines before he sees the farm land he’s missing, he says he used to work at ranches but got fired from all of them because the bosses “couldn’t appreciate his talents” Which I’m assuming is ‘they didn’t like his yodelling’ which is why he wants revenge on them all. Which is definitely silly but I just see Alameda as an old man whose been hurt too many times, though I really wish the movie would have expanded on that and given him a proper backstory and motive.

The thing about Chicken Little that I loath about it is they had gotten way too much credit for Toy Story even though I understand that it was for contractual reasons behind the scenes at the time but they were the ones who were the Cream of the Crop during the Great Depression and during WWII so the fact they did Chicken Little and looks the way it does is not really except able I’d still give it at least 50%I actually don’t entirely mind the movie *Home On The Range*but I’m not saying it’s terrific but I’d give a 50% as well.

In hindsight, I *knew* that this would be the third member of The Unholy Disney Godhead due to it effectively killing off 2-D animations as a whole for the next 5 years!😅 Continue to stay iconic, Rocko!

Actually, here's a bit of a correction about the production of the film. It actually began production in the 1990's, and was originally going to be a lot more dark. But like what happened with The Emperor's New Groove, the film got changed to be a lighthearted comedy Though, there is a chance that the film had executive meddling behind it to try and be Shrek. Given that this also happened with Chicken Little, where it was supposed to focus more on the father and daughter aspect and generally be grounded in some way. Before executive meddling caused it to try and be Shrek

In fact, it was supposed to be an Oscar winner the entire time, and they forgot what made Beauty and the Beast so good in the first place when trying to recreate that success. It's just like 10 years prior to Pocahontas (in 1985) when The Black Cauldron was trying DESPERATELY to be a classic and failed. Also I have to correct an error to the OP about Home on the Range, it's actually burp jokes rather than fart jokes. However, The Lion King had both. There's also a video on why The Lion King is overrated. I can definitely agree with the fart joke being the worst part of The Lion King, even though it's one of my favorites.

This channel is underrated… It makes really good videos and is also really great at editing and criticism.

The trilogy has been completed!

Okay but this movie dubbed to Latinoamerica Spanish is really good

I honestly don't care if the movie is bad or not. I loved watching it with my mom as a kid and it just gives me such a nostalgic feeling everytime.

That's great to hear, I wish I could enjoy it that much.

I personally really enjoy this movie. It's very cute, the songs are super catchy, and I enjoy its more unique Chuck Jones/Tex Avery style than other Disney films. Regardless of what you think of the rest of the movie though, I think we can all agree that Alameda Slim is AMAZING! 'Cause he yodels... and yodelin' is an ART!!!! 🤣

Very unique to have live reactions next to the arguments. Also a very good movie.

Glad you enjoyed it, though I'm not sure if you are referring to the original movie or my "movie" (because the video is so long lol).

Remember what I said on your Star Wars video about how it’s better to praise the stuff you like than to rant about the stuff you hate? Yeah, it’s time to quit watching Shaffrilas and Saberspark videos.

A lot actually, I made a whole video after all, but I understand that it is my most controversial pick. It's a movie that really annoys me personally even though I know a lot of people do actually like it.

3:10 I actually liked Dinosaur when I was little. However, as I got older, I was less into the plot and more into it's highly realistic animation, which, in my opinion, still holds up to this day. According to special features that came with the DVD (not sure if I still have it), the movie combined live action with CGI. In fact, I remember when they explained how they came up with the meteor scene. The explosion made by the giant meteor was a real explosion film upside down, before later being edited on the computer. This created the effect of the meteor's explosion blast moving across the water.

Just finished the review, great stuff as always! You’re like the Anti GamingMagic13, your points have value to them, and you don’t rely on the same clips every 10 seconds. I also didn’t know that Steve Buscemi’s character was actually your evil twin! I do have a question though. You mentioned that only one song is sung by Alameda Slim, and the rest are all sung by an unseen source. However, the same also applies with the film Tarzan. I probably already know the answer, but how does Tarzan convey its messages through songs better than Home on the Range? Either way, keep up the fantastic work!

I was in elementary school when the Disney Renaissance began, and a senior in high school the year that it ended. All throughout those years I remember looking forward to finding out what the next big Disney film of the year was going to be. I appreciated the movies differently as an eight-year-old than I did as an eighteen-year-old, but it worked because they had a quality that appealed to a wide age range. Then this one came out. When I saw the previews, my thought was "Well, it was nice while it lasted."

I love your background music choices. So many hits in all your videos.

There is one joke which is not just good, but golden in this film. And it’s the gag where one of the goon’s head was blocking a ranch on the map. It was absurd, surprising, set up well and expands on the story.

Pretty sure it was bad by design. They wanted this to flop, and also Brother Bear (they slashed six months from its development time.) They wanted the excuse to go to 3D CGI by whining, "But 2D cartoons aren't profitable any more!" One of the other excuses an executive gave was that someone had congratulated him on Ice Age, which wasn't a Disney film.,..as if half the population of the US didn't/doesn't believe that every single cartoon movie ever made is by Disney. When you see the message at the end of Meet the Robinsons, about how Disney always pursues the shiny new toy, oops, the newest innovations, remember that it was not an aspirational sentiment at the time it was made, it was an excuse of 'We know our CGI is crappy, but it's new and exciting so we're trashing our 2D department forever."

I have to say, personally being boring (despite the attempts to not be boring) is like the 3rd worst thing for a movie to be, the 2nd would be offensive or hateful while trying to justify why that offense or hate is justified, and the 1st worst thing for a movie to be is a collection of ads disguised as a movie. Which actually aligns with the types of movies on this list and the order of their watchablity.

This time I heard Toontown Donalds Dock theme

Mr. Wesley should get his own movie that it could make 100x more better!

Yeah this movie is a sad fizzle out for Disney’s 2D, I’m glad for many reasons it wasn’t but it’s still a sad closing lineup

Heyy don't diss Aristocats! It was a sweet little movie about cats, it works, the animation is soft, it's a childhood classic. Even rewatching it, it wasn't faulty of anything horrible. Well, except for the Chinese-stereotype cat, but it was a cute cat at least.

Yes😁

A better example of a wacky animated comedy starring talking animals is Madagascar, a movie that came out a year after this film. Madagascar is just as stylized and cartoonish as Home on the Range yet unlike the latter, Madagascar was legitimately funny and memorable with strong humor with good jokes, likable characters and while cartoonish in it's own right, is more substance over style by having a heart amidst it's wacky tone. And the relationship between the characters are a lot more palpable and healthy than any interaction between the animals in Home on the Range. Alex for example is a much better version of Maggie and Buck by making a self absorbed character front and center because unlike those two, Alex, while starting off selfish and egotistical, doesn't stay that way forever and actually grows and develops as a character. And despite Madagascar's Looney Tunes style esthetic, it's not over the top and chooses to rely more on character interaction more so than just slapstick. Maybe you should do an analysis on that film next and point out the differences of why that film works as a comedy while this one doesn't.

So, I found you through your Cedric video, and for some reason this has made it so hearing your voice immediately made my brain go "ah, its Cedric talking" Anyway another amazing video, keep em up!

I agree with what you said about Chicken Little. He's actually a good character. I even cheered for him during the baseball scene because he actually proved everyone wrong that he's not a complete joke.

TBH, the only good part about this film is the villain, Alameda Slim. He was an actually fun antagonist and I wish he was in a way better movie.

Wait, no Chicken Little? I think it's worse than the Aristocats

5:37 - 5:44 my opinion on Superman III

Oh and what do ya know, Home on the Range came out the same as Shark Tale. Another animated movie that tried (and failed) to copy Shrek's formula! Go figure.

I haven’t seen this but I don’t think I ever will so I’ll just watch it

Not as stupid as the live-action remakes or some of the direct-to-video sequels.

1:24:40 The only part of this remarkably in-depth analysis that I disagree with is where Rockotar argues that Home on the Range made people think that "CGI 3D animation is for everyone, but traditional, hand-drawn 2D animation is only for little kids." Wrong! In case you haven't watched the Oscars lately (because, let's be honest, why would you?), people these days seem to think that ALL animation is for little kids. In fact, if anything was true, it would be that 2D animation is being seen as something of a renaissance of hand-drawn artistry, while CGI is seen as a soulless corporate product. Otherwise, this was a very entertaining and thoughtful review--far more entertaining and thoughtful than the film itself! 😊

Cows are actually susceptible to calls. They used to do this in the past in Sweden, it's called "kulning". When the cows were scattered around the field or somewhere far away and you wanted to call them in you were basically yodelling at them and they recognized the call and came running over

I love the fact the this video is even longer than the movie it's reviewing

This what i have been waiting for

The to bulls are bad copies of the 2 moose from the original Brother Bear The triplets not recognizing their uncle when he's in disguise is the "joke" from the Emperors New School (Kronk is so stupid that he can't recognize Yzma when she's in disguise) I think the reason why the bulls each got a cow is... It can't be a Disney ending if the "princesses" don't get their "princes" and their "happily ever after"

Literally, the villain song of Alameda Slim is the only saving grace for this movie. It's magnificent

17 minutes in and this movie is starting to sound like its a Melissa McCarthy produced/directed movie, which are some of the lowest low brow movies I have consumed in my life.

"Will The Sun Ever Shine Again" isn't awful but it just doesn't work very well in an otherwise goofy movie like this one.

I remember seeing this movie in the theaters. I don't remember a single thing that happened in it. maybe my brain is trying to protect me

My only requirements for an animated movie to be “good” is to not be bored. Ralph breaks the internet was the only animated movie that was boring to me so far.

47:37 I get the distinct impression that the writers only put this in because they genuinely don't trust kids to be able to figure out they're two different people, and so spelled it out in the most condescending way possible.

This was actually the last straw for Disney 2D Animation considering the amazing track record it has in the library, and haven't developed the medium until The Princess and The Frog (2009) and Winnie The Pooh (2011) but that's just about it. 😑

small nitpick, the joke between tge 3s wasnt that they were to dumb to see threw the disguise, but that they were too dumb to remember it was a disguise, since they should have known it was the main bad guy as they should have been told hed be wearing a disguise, hence why the sheriff not noticing still makes sence

Personally, I do think Chicken Little is worse than Ralph Breaks the Internet, and really stupid movie, too. But I do agree this movie is most stupid movie ever, this shows everything wrong about making a story and a actually movie (or series). Also the reason why Chicken Little is worse than Home on the Range was because with the animation honestly and the horrible father character/the worst cartoon father character ever.

33:19 Rock. You're not going to kill those cows.

I recently watched this movie in my binge of the Disney Animation Studios catalog and the yodel song slaps and has some Pink Elephants On Parade energy to it.

So Disney forgot that they already made the Wesley/Weasely joke when they made Frozen?
