Although westerns enjoy a great degree of popularity worldwide, to animate one seems to be difficult. This was no exception for Disney. Before coming up with the idea of Pocahontas, Mike Gabriel considered adapting western legends into animated films. While he pitched both projects at the Gong Show meeting, the executives were more interested in Pocahontas, which went into production first. When Pocahontas was finished, Gabriel went back to his Western pitch. At first it was supposed to be a western version of Captains Courageous only to become a supernatural western where an undead cattle rustler named Slim and the Willies ride their ghost herds through the clouds and constantly drove livestock off cliffs to increase their herd. In 1999, in an attempt to salvage the story and retain existing characters and background art, story artist Michael McBash suggested a different approach to the story that involved 3 cows who become bounty hunters to save the farm. At Alan Menken’s suggestion, Alameda Slim was made into a cattle rustler whose yodeling talent to hypnotize and abscond the herd. Upon its 2004 release Home on the Range received mixed reviews and grossed $145.5 million at the box office. However, although it’s certainly no masterpiece like Rango, it’s much more enjoyable to watch than anything with John Wayne, including The Searchers. In this post, we’ll meet voice actor and storyboard artist Mark Walton as well as the voices behind Female Lover Bear, the Chipmunks, Rico, Pearl Gesner, Jeb, Sam Brown, Junior, Rusty, and Larry.
