    Weird western musical feature-length cartoon from Disney; it all feels wrong. A cow movie.

    A cute little story but not up to Walt Disney standards.

    Ooooooh. This is IRRITATING! Not to mention that my little brother and sister wore this out within the first week (it played CONSTANTLY that my other sister actually hid the video)m but it stars the voice of ROSEANNE. What were they THINKING!? I mean, it's funny and it's a sweet ...( read more)enough story, and the parts in the mine are really, really funny, but over all this is just an okay movie that I was only too happy to forget about.

Claudia Puig, USA Today

The cheerful, plucky characters have heart and loyalty, and that's enough to make this a worthy family-friendly animated fest. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A pleasant enough diversion, rarely rising above cuteness but nonetheless enjoyable for its young audience. full review

April 2, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

It's only 76 minutes long, but although kids will like it, their parents will be sneaking looks at their watches. full review

April 2, 2004
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

Even older kids will understand that Pixar does it so much better, not because of their computers but because of an intelligent attention to script and character and craft. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Short (76-minute) and formulaic. full review
