Summary: Disney: how low can you go?
Review: This movie just goes to prove that the great days of Disney animation are long gone. In the era when Pixar rules animation, Disney insists on making movies in a kind of strange old formula that does not work anymore. What is wrong with Disney? Is there a future for Disney animation?

Summary: Walt Disney is ROLLING over in his grave.
Review: WHAT was Disney thinking on this release?

Great vocal and music talents lined up.....

TERRIBLE screen play.....

equals: BAD MOVIE.

Nobody in my family liked it (from my 6 year old daughter to myself).

Okay, here goes....
This movie had no plot (Save the farm?!? THAT'S original!)..... The musical score was completely forgettable, bordering on insipid (this from the guy who gave us the music in "Beauty and the Beast"?!?)...Cuba Gooding (who I greatly admire as an actor) was trying TOO hard to recreate Eddie Murphy's zany Mushu character from "Mulan"....and Mr. Gooding fails something fierce....plus, as a matter of fact, I think there is a Bugs Bunny cartoon from the 50's that did this whole schtick MUCH better (and much shorter, too!)

Just awful. Don't waste your time. I'd rather watch "Beauty and the Beast" again for the zillionth time than to watch this disaster.

Summary: Not enough to engage either kids or adults
Review: When I first saw the trailer for this film, I wondered what in the world were the producers thinking! A movie about cows embarking on a mission to rescue a farm from foreclosure??? Then, I thought, maybe the same originality that yielded the really funny "Emperor's New Groove" would be found in this movie.

I was wrong!

There is little to recommend for parents and children alike. The characters are not that interesting and the plot seems better suited for a television special than a full-blown screen story.
The songs are far from memorable and the animation, as others have said, is too simplistic for a major motion picture.

I had high hopes for a film that features the vocal talents of Roseanne, Judi Dench, Cuba Gooding, Jr., and, at an inspired bit of casting, former Texas governor Ann Richards.

But, this is one "herd" that needed to remain in the open prairie.

So, why THREE STARS? 'Can't give Disney any less, no matter how bad it might be!
