I went to see this movie. The first comments out of my mouth were, "Couldn't they have gotten this anatomically correct or are they just that stupid?" I was disturbed the ENTIRE time that there were male cows. I had... Full review

Words cannot describe how horrible this movie is. Well, maybe they can. I'll take a stab at it: 1 - Pitiful. Hollywood makes more talking animals set in graphics. Apparently script and storyline aren't needed anymore.2 - Violent. Kids movie... Full review

I can find no redeeming value to this movie. It appears to be loosely based on the Lion King school of thought. Father gets killed, son can't fill the shoes and tries to run away, etc, etc, etc. The only difference... Full review

Young bull Otis, voiced by Kevin James , is a genial goof-off whose adoptive bull father, Ben ( Sam Elliott ) serves as watchman for the commune.
Outrage is running rampant on the Internet Movie Database, better known as imdb.com.

They're all exactly alike and feature Wanda Sykes as a sassy "fill in the blank with whatever animal you think is sassiest.
Even better than the fact that this is the 147th animated talking-animal movie to be released this year is all the great contemporary pop songs on the soundtrack blasting out of the speakers in THX.

In many ways the film is too clever for its own good as its theme of standing up for yourself (and others) is reflected by a bevy of brightly painted barnyard animals prancing around on two legs.
And much of the film's humour plays like carefully constructed skits.

Based on the reaction of my own member of the Target Audience, who, along with his pal, attended "Barnyard" with me, the plot development that leaves Otis temporarily alone and guilt-ridden isn't cheap and wrenching enough to make you resent it.
Young bull Otis, voiced by Kevin James, is a genial goof-off whose adoptive bull father, Ben (Sam Elliott) serves as watchman for the commune.

Kids understand complex emotions a lot better than Barnyard assumes
Sadly, it is precisely a cartoon like Barnyard that upholds this attitude.
Sykes is the most vivid although her sense of humor is too wry to keep intact on a childrens DVD.
