In summation, nicely made but lacklustre and doesn't hold up well. 'Home on the Range' is completely humourless and near-completely charmless, none of the content engages enough, while the characters are never interesting or even appealing excepting the jackrabbit. This is further accentuated by the agreed overlong length, 'Home on the Range' easily should have been three minutes shorter. Too often the cartoon is too sugary sweet and the over-stretched feel of the story makes 'Home on the Range' feel dull, very little energy here. On the other hand, the story is paper thin and full of old-fashioned melodrama that holds no surprises whatsoever. A few parts charm and the voices are solid. The music is even better and performed with gusto, it's full of energy and character and is lushly and cleverly orchestrated, adding to the action and enhancing it.

Starting with the good things, the animation is very well done. Not one of Ising's very worst (though among the lesser ones) by all means, with obvious strengths but with a good deal of big drawbacks. 'Home on the Range' unfortunately falls in the latter category. In some instances it has been very sweet and charming, in others it can be cloying and too cutesy. Rudolf Ising made a lot of cartoons leaning towards the cute kind of cartoon rather than the laugh a minute kind, the latter being the one that a lot seem to prefer (understandably, though am hardly biased against the former). With significantly broader knowledge of different directors, animation styles and studios, actually appreciate and love it even more now. ![]() ![]() Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera, Studio Ghibli and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons.
