Alameda Slim

Alameda Slim is the main antagonist of Disney's 2004 animated feature film, Home on the Range.

At the beginning of the film, Alameda Slim targets the Dixon Ranch, home of Maggie. All of the cattle disappear in one night, leaving only Maggie, who had been securely pinned up. As a result, Mr. Dixon is forced to sell Maggie to a small farm called Patch of Heaven, and head out west for a new start. Later, Mr. Dixon's ranch is bought by a Yancy O'Del. As a result of his numerous thefts, it is revealed that a seven-hundred and fifty reward is out for the capture of Slim, which Maggie and two other cows, Mrs. Calloway and Grace, decide to claim in order to save their home from foreclosure.

Later, Alameda Slim commits another theft, and his unique technique was revealed: Alameda Slim is able to hypnotize cattle through yodeling. He captures all the cattle, and takes them to his hideout, located in an old mine named "Echo Mine". At the mine, he reveals his plan; Slim had once been a talented farmhand, but he had repeatedly been fired. It is hinted that this was because his employers hated his yodeling. As revenge, Slim has been using his abilities to steal the cattle of his former employers, and sell them. When the ranches are put up for auction, he uses the money to buy the property, under the name and guise, Yancy O'Del. At that moment, one of his nephews Gil moves from his spot, revealing the location of the Patch of Heaven farm on his map of ranches. Upon learning the farm is being auctioned on Thursday morning. Slim's fury is promptly replaced with eagerness, and he decides to buy under his alter ego's name.

Later, Slim's assistant, Mr. Wesley arrives to make cash out of the stolen cattle. Wesley buys the cattle, and Slim uses the ill-gotten money to buy the now-bankrupt farm he stole the cows from. The Willie Brothers finish counting the cows they captured, stating that the total is four thousand, nine hundred and ninety-seven surprising both Slim and Wesley, the latter telling him that they were supposed to be five thousand exactly. Slim agrees and argues that one of his nephews simply miscounted, but he hears Grace's moo and sees her by the entrance and decides to bring her to him. Slim begins to yodel at Grace, not knowing that she is tone-deaf and thus immune to his hypnosis, When Slim and Grace not even responded to his yodeling, he is completely confused, so he decides to confront the cows head-on. However, Slim is captured by Maggie, Grace, and Mrs. Calloway, who plugged their ears to avoid his yodeling. The cows headbutt Slim, sending him into a mine-cart. Lucky Jack then whacks Slim in the face wit ha pot, knocking him unconscious.

A chase between the cows, the Willies, Buck, and Rico ensues throughout the mine. Soon, Slim regains consciousness—just in time to see to his horror that he's headed straight for the train, and all groups collide with it.

An enraged Slim breakers the mine art in two and grabs the three cows and ropes them and prepares them to place them on the train. He then reveals that Rico is actually a mercenary working for him, to Buck's disappointment and heartbreak. Rounding up the three cows, Slim obtains the money and attends the auction of Patch of Heaven under his O'Del identity, attempting to buy the farm.

However, the cows escape thanks to Buck, and they manage to defeat Rico, Wesley, and the Willies before freeing the rest of the cattle. The cows later use Wesley's train to head back to the farm, where, alongside the farm animals, they engage in a skirmish with Slim and throw him in a chimney of the train and expose him to Sheriff Sam Brown and Pearl Gesner, who are both are horrified that the man who is buying the farm is the wanted outlaw.

Refusing to accept defeat, Slim tries to yodel, but Grace kicks Maggie's cowbell in his mouth and gags him. The Sheriff binds Slim and gags him with a cloth. Eventually, Slim is then put into a police car and taken to jail, still unsuccessfully trying to untie himself as he is about to face trial for his crimes.
