Movie Description
What really happens on the farm when the farmer isn't looking? In director Steve Oedekerk's (KUNG POW: ENTER THE FIST, ACE VENTURA: WHEN NATURE CALLS) computer-generated animation feature, the farm animals can do everything humans do. They talk, walk upright, buy human contraband from a "gray market" run by the gophers, and even turn the barn into a nightclub. Of course, they do all of this in secret. The biggest party animal is Otis (voiced by Kevin James), a happy-go-lucky cow. (Yes, the movie is full of male cows, complete with udders....) The animals know they can always count on him for a kooky stunt or a practical joke. But Otis' carefree attitude doesn't sit well with his father, Ben (Sam Neill), the barnyard patriarch and protector. Ben loves his slacker son, but thinks Otis needs to learn more responsibility, especially because he hopes to leave a legacy to care for the barnyard.


When the dangerous coyote season arrives and Ben is suddenly no longer able to serve as barnyard security, mayhem immediately ensues and the barnyard looks more like an amusement park then a farm...until Otis steps up to fill his father's shoes. But is he really ready to take the lead, or would he prefer to be wooing Daisy (Courtney Cox), the pretty new cow on the farm, and partying with his friends? And when push comes to shove, will Otis be able to stand up to the coyotes and protect the barnyard? This coming-of-age tale is bolstered by the human antics of the animals and genuine laugh-out-loud moments for all ages. Wanda Sykes voices Bessy, Daisy's cynical cow friend, and Danny Glover voices Miles the Mule, a sage elder on the farm. Songs by Tom Petty and Peter Gabriel, as well as other artists, elevate the soundtrack above the typical children's film.

    I watched this movie with my young child, while some parts are a little violent it uses a farm and cartoon animals to teach some of life's tougher lessons like losing a parent, growing into a leader, thinking of others over yourself, and learning about doing whats right because you can. This story shows a young cow who just wants to have fun, grow into the leader of the barnyard when his father is killed defending the yard from the coyotes.
    A great story full of life's lesson taught through cartoon characters and lots of humor and jokes!

    As parents we often 'have'to see kids movies, irrelevant of whether or not they are actually very good....each year a plethora of movies arrive - aimed at the younger demographic; and this one certainly stands out from a lot of 2006 offerings!!
    Barnyard has something for everyone with a double tier of comedy / stories that will appeal and amuse all ages!
    It starts with a cute premise...what goes on in the barnyard when the farmers have retired for the day and the animals are left to their own devices!! With quality animation and the voices of the likes of Courtney Cox, Wanda Sykes (who seems to be a staple in the rush of recent kids animated films, with good reason!), Danny Glover and Kevin James, this movie is sure to delight!
    Otis - the staple character, a young cow (this is animation hence our 'cow' is male?!) likes to party and ruffle more than a few feathers...the party scenes are hysterical and sure to have the whole family laughing; but he is forced to grow up overnight and be responsible after his dad - Ben, passes away!
    The movie, which has some lessons embedded in the story, follow Otis as he takes on this new role - from his mistakes to his successes...this is a cute and funny story that we enjoyed and recommend!
