Harry Knowles at Ain’t It Cool News notes the release of a Disney film that doesn’t need to be added to our family’s collection either:

HOME ON THE RANGE Blu Ray

Ok – if you’re a Disney completist then this is where you bleed. HOME ON THE RANGE is a soppy mess. I loathe this crap. I rewatched it on Blu, just to be sure if the hate could burn with the intensity that the scar tissue in my brain had reminded me… and I have fresh scars.

But that’s nothing that just looking at the cover of this thing tells you. THIS FILM IS THE TAINT OF THE WEST.

Doing a series of list posts ranking the 51 (soon to be 52) films in the Disney canon has been on my to-do list for awhile. Home on the Range would make the list of bottom 10 worst — maybe even the lowest five. Any other obvious contenders? Here’s a 2 minute refresher on the choices:
