Home on the Range: The Adventures of a Bovine Goddess

I have to agree with the other reviewers here who were disappointed with the strange and silly theme running throughout this beautiful art book. Throughout the whole book, instead of reading details about the creation of the movie, you will read tongue in cheek narration by Maggie. While sometimes you will read some interesting tidbits, the approach mostly detracts from the book. It's still a beautiful book, so that is why I am giving it 4 stars. 5 stars for the beautiful and very comprehensive overview of the art and design of the project, and 2 stars for the mostly disappointing narration.

This happens to be one of my favorite artbooks of one of my favorite Disney films. It has everything anyone needs to know about the making of the film and what qualities they used. What more do you want? The book has the reader feeling like they're being taken on a tour hosted by Maggie the Cow. It's as if she really is talking to the reader and knows what we're thinking. That's what made it so exciting. I love how the book shows art details made by Mary Blair(original Disney artist) and how they made a list of all the Disney classics from Walt's Era. This is another typical refreshingly Disney film as good as those listed inside; maybe not the best in the world, but still wonderful enough for any Classic Disney fan. I recommend this book for anyone who loves to collect any artbook based on Disney's films.
