More like Riders of the Purple Prose. It's enjoyable seeing the tropes of the genre in their earliest stage (Lasseter's very cool), but it's difficult to wade through the ridiculously overwrought portrayal of Mormons and often rather silly romantic interludes and soap operatic plot. All of that said, I was swept into it, and its description of action and land are powerfully evocative and atmospheric - almost all you need for a good Western. Almost.

An aside: I love how often pulp fiction returns to the idea of a hidden valley or cave - accessed by waterfall, usually, or secret canyon. I was misled in my youth to expect to find more of them than I have.
