March 29 - 30, 2024 - I Don't Even Like This Character (Home on the Range 20th Anniversary):
Okay, well, that's not entirely true.
It's more that I don't like the person who voices her (who I won't name because I don't care).
That's pretty much I wanted to have my voice unchanged, with the exception being the fact that becoming a cow always leads me to put on a Southern accent.
I mean, I ain't complainin'. Maggie's original VA could barely do a Southern accent herself. I can easily pull it off, no sweat!
As for Maggie herself, I don't know too much about her. I'm postin' this before I watch Home on the Range in full (probably not gonna like it because I've heard it's really dumb and stupid).
I do really like her design, though, I look mighty fine!
Not sure about this pointy chest though, no idea what that's s'posed to be...
Now, I'm sure some of y'all have some questions about this, so let's just get 'em outta the way.
Q: Where is this located?
A: On a farm, I booked a vacation to this farm a few weeks ago.
Q: Why'd ya do all this?
A: Someone paid me to watch the movie. And besides, with that film, I'm probably not gonna have much fun reviewing it, so spending time on a farm as a cow is just what I need to actually have fun during my time here.
(Hey guys, IRL Davis here. For context, in this canon of mine, I have a Youtube channel with a slightly large following (only a few thousand subscribers). On the channel, I usually like to talk about whatever's on my mind (unless it involves politics, I don't like talking about politics). However, then there's my Patreon (again this isn't real), where people can pay me and request things for me to review)
(About a month for 2 before this TF sequence, someone patrons me to review Home on the Range for its 20th anniversary, and they want me to do something big (they don't specify). However, I, knowing how dull and boring the movie is considered by critics, need to think outside the box for this)
(So, I decide to ask the TF crew to book me a vacation at a farm, wanting to review the movie while there. I ask if I could spend my time there as a cow myself, and they suggest turning into one of the characters from the movie. I choose Maggie because even though I don't like her VA, her large size was something I could possibly get a kick out of. Of course, I ask for my voice to not be changed too much, which they understand)
(Why the vacation? Well, like I said, with how dull the movie is, I have to think of other methods in order to fulfill the patron's request. Plus, the farm we book is very nice. I have a nice place to sleep and everything. Unfortunately, none of the other animals seem to like me)
(Okay, back to the actual text)
Q: Why'd ya make Maggie's hair longer in the front?
A: Personal preference.
Q: Why the 'erect teats'?
A: Personal preference.
Q: If ya don't like Maggie's VA, why'd ya wanna change into her.
A: I like being large, that's all.
Q: With the teats and the sweat, I have to ask. Were ya sweaty or horny durin' this sequence?
A: Both; surprised you didn't get that from the teats, which are CLEARLY looking hardened as if they're small d***s. Since I'm a female, and therefore don't have a certain male appendage, having my teats become erect when I'm horny makes up for it; and it feels just as glorious... *giggle*
"Maggie, what are ya doin' with your udder? You ain't done yet."
Wait, wha? Oh, erm... sorry... Where were we?
Q: What else are you doing on the farm besides watching the movie?
A: I'm prolly gon look at some other things related to Home on the Range, like that one video game they made. Not gon play 'em myself, of course 'cause... Y'know, no thumbs.
Q: Were you told to use a new name when you became a cow? Some farms do that to people.
A: Yes, that's true. For some reason, they tried to name me themselves. Tried namin' me 'Bessie', which is dumb because...
That name's too obvious. I feel like I hear people use that darn name for cows way too often.
This cow body is based on a pre-existing character, and she already has a name of her own.
Q: Are you typing this post yourself?
A: No, I literally just told ya that I don't have thumbs. A human is doin' it for me.
Right, I think that's everything I wanted to say. See ya!

Home on the Range (2004)
People still talk about Lilo & Stitch. Sometimes you even hear some discuss the merits of Brother Bear. No one talks about Home on the Range. Was the second-last theatrically-released Disney Animated really THAT bad? No. I’d even recommend it for young audiences. Just know that for everyone else, it's mostly unremarkable.
When their farm is threatened with foreclosure, cows Maggie (voiced by Roseanne Barr), Grace (Jennifer Tilly), and Mrs. Calloway (Judi Dench) make it their mission to come up with the money by capturing wanted outlaw Alameda Slim (Randy Quaid).
Bits and pieces of the 45th Disney animated feature film are likable. The main characters, for instance. Jennifer Tilly is consistently funny as Grace. Having a trio of cows in this western adventure is a nice departure from the stories we're accustomed to from the studio. The visuals aren't revolutionary, but there are a couple of well-drawn scenes, with a noteworthy one that recalls the "Pink Elephants on Parade" insanity of Dumbo. It's the highlight and with the way it plays out, Home on the Range might be worth seeing - once - just for that sequence. There are also a couple of nice sight gags here and there, including some pretty good ones with the villain.
All that said, this is not a particularly strong picture. It contains many dated or odd elements. The story isn’t fresh. You can't quite put your finger on it. There’s something about Home on the Range, its character designs, the peg-legged rabbit Lucky Jack (Charles Haid), and the selfish horse, Buck (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) that doesn’t pop.
The obvious flaws include the abundance of "generic animated jokes”. I’m talking about characters given silly quirk that don’t really make any sense and do not deepen them or make them more interesting in any way. A perfect example is Buck. Why does he know Kung Fu? For no reason except to have a bunch of silly scenes for the kiddies where he jumps around screaming Hi-yah! The film is made for children, yes. That’s the problem. Children is the only audience this will appeal to. Adults Can still watch Snow White, Fantasia, Aladdin or Beauty and the Beast and never feel like they're stuck babysitting someone. Why can’t Home on the Range, be on the same level?
I wouldn’t have even guessed that this was a Disney movie if it hadn’t known going in. Home on the Range doesn’t contain that magic. It’s a child-friendly animated movie about some funny talking farm animals, that’s it. I was initially going to collect every single Disney animated film, but after seeing Treasure Planet - it's just ok - and then this one, I think I’ll just stick with the ones that have truly stood the test of time. I still don’t think Home on the Range is all that bad. I’m even going to give it a mild recommendation because it’s watchable, even enjoyable if you’re in the right mood. It just isn’t very strong overall. (On DVD, February 16, 2015)
