Buffalicious

As a buffalo enthusiast, I was really excited when I saw the movie title when I was browsing for movies to watch. And it certainly did fulfill my buffalo dreams. I had such personal interest in this film that I decided to audition my own buffalo for roles in other low-budget western films. Sadly, they did not make the cut, but I am not bitter. In my opinion, these magnificent creatures were beautifully portrayed. As someone who owns several buffalo (including one domesticated buffalo), I found that the song "Lean On Me" does not help at all for herding purposes. Despite that disappointment, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and encourage other buffalo enthusiasts to have a look at this excellent film. Two hooves up!

What a beautiful film, everything very cute...

A boy newly arrived in New Mexico starts working on a buffalo reserve to earn money to ride his bike. There, in addition to breaking cultural barriers to make friends with the residents of the reserve, he will have to face the local troublemaker in a mountain bike competition.

What a beautiful film, I love films with the culture of the North American natives, here we have the contrast of traditions versus the contemporary, but most importantly the appreciation, the local roots, the love for nature, beautiful images, legends told from parents to children, simple and engaging script, captivating characters, everything very cute...

Above Average DCOM

Though this film wasn't my favorite, it was above average. I am not a fan of Disney Channel movies because most of them are predictable and about the exact same thing. My favorite DCOM's are the Halloweentown Trilogy, Read it and Weep, Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off, and Rip Girls. This film doesn't really get on my favorites because(no offense) it was kind of boring.

I liked the idea and the plot but I didn't get into it that much and it just wasn't really my cup of tea. It was a good try though. The originality was definitely there.

This movie could have been better but it was still a bit entertaining. A decent watch.

Had potential

This movie in my opinion had potential but, went off in mixing Navajo culture with buffalo. as a Navajo myself i found it a bit offensive that they did not even any of our traditional values. they just mixed what they about us with the movie. the plot has some work to do but like i said earlier it had potential. the cast did a fine job and Mr. Green did his best in the pronunciation of the Navajo words. after awhile the cast started getting a bit corny but near the end they pulled themselves together. but there is one thing that i liked about this and that is the distant relation the two main characters have at first because of their culture. I just wish that the producers had spent a little more time in the research of the Navajo.

Buffalo Dreams 2005 Disney Original Channel Movie

My daughter loved this movie she was 5 years old when she first saw it. I want to buy it for her, where can I purchase it at? I would love to purchase this movie however when I went to the website it said it was not available on DVD. I tried every possible search engine to figure out how to buy it, but there was no information on where or how to purchase it. Please let me know how I can buy this movie. It's a great movie and my daughter is now 7 years old and mentioned the movie to me again the other day and asked if I had seen it on TV. She would love to see this movie again. Please let me know when it will be released or where I can purchase it at. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advanced your assistance. Marie
