When the farmer's back is turned, the animals party down in Barnyard. A young cow named Otis (voiced by Kevin James, The King of Queens) loves to have fun at the farm's wild late-night hoe-downs, despite the disapproval of his father, Ben (Sam Elliott, Thank You for Smoking). When Ben dies defending the barnyard from marauding coyotes, Otis is chosen as the new leader--but responsibility sits uneasily on Otis' head and he fears he may not be able to protect his friends from the coyotes. Barnyard's design of the cows seems inspired by Gary Larson's The Far Side comics; though the style is simple, the characters are surprisingly expressive. From moment to moment, the movie is reasonably entertaining. The actors--including Courteney Cox, Danny Glover, and David Koechner (Anchorman) as a very menacing coyote--do solid voice work and there are plenty of amusing gags. But as Barnyard gallops towards its end, the combination of cliches (the story is a clumsy reworking of The Lion King), odd choices (the male cows have udders), and lackluster dialogue makes the movie sag. --Bret Fetzer

 A Great Mooooooovie! May 14, 2007

Picture this: Cows staring at you as you pass by on a walk or in the car, and you wonder, "Do cows just chew grass? Or do they have good and bad thoughts about humans? Well, the movie Barnyard tells all of what cows and other animals think of us.
At the farm, a milk cow, named Ben, has a hard time convincing his son, Otis that he needs to stop goofing around and try to be responsible. It's time for him to grow up and be an example for his friends by obeying the Barnyard rules. (One of them is remain on all fours during the presence of humans.) Then, trouble sets a foot, and it changes Otis' life forever. This causes a big issue in his confidence. Can Otis save the farm before it is too late? Or will trouble reign over the Barnyard?
This is a great movie because it was hilarious but sad, and it made me have different emotions all together. At one time in Barnyard, I would feel sad and then I would be happy. This movie has events like a death, sliding down a cliff, and cows driving a car that make you cry, laugh, and cheer from one moment to the next.
When I first saw the previews for this movie, I thought this movie would be one of those movies that would have no message at all, but I was wrong. The message seemed to be life is not always fun. There's a time to have fun, and there's a time to be serious.
This movie was so much better than the movie I watched with my cousin, which was Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. When I watched it, I was done watching it. It didn't seem to amuse me. The aliens and everybody else in the movie were not hilarious, and there were many jokes that I failed to catch. In Barnyard, you can understand all the jokes and it's hilarious. You can tell the director, Steve Odikerk, put a lot into this movie.
I give Barnyard an A+, because it has awesome music, great animation, and some of life's events that could change a person forever, which you will have to see for yourself.
People who love farms, talking animals, and cow tipping should go see this movie. I recommend this movie for kids over the age of six; because it has some content that is not suitable for younger kids.
Now you have an idea of what Barnyard is all about. This movie is what I would add to my collection of videos or DVDs, because it is funny and awesome.

Great animation & subject matter. The big screen is getting flooded with really good animations. Many have weak story lines but this one has a "purposeful" story behind it, reminding us to look at our own lives and how we live them.

First you need an imagination and a funny bone to enjoy this movie. This is a family favorite of ours and both my sons love this movie. To say nothing of the fact that my husband thinks its hilarious. My older son actually was a cow for Halloween. I recommend this movie if you're looking to laugh at the crazy antics of barn animals.
Very Entertaining Animated Film September 13, 2007

This movie, especially in the beginning, provides almost nonstop laughs, the kind that adults would laugh at probably more than kids.. This is adult-funny, but don't misinterpret: there is nothing raunchy in the script. It's not totally innocent, either.
I do wave a "red flag" for small kids. There are a couple of scenes in here that are definitely too scary for little ones. I am referring to a pack of coyotes attacking "Ben," the father character seen early in the movie, and literally killing him. That, and the short funeral scene, are too intense for impressionable kids. Later, the coyotes return a few times, too. Those mothers who complained about their little kids seeing this have a legitimate point.
Nonetheless, for me - and I assume most other adults - the rest of this is pure entertainment, with a little sentiment mixed into the comedy as the main character, "Otis" (voiced by Kevin James) learns to grow up. Otis is one of the funniest characters I have ever seen on film, animated or not. When he and his barnyard pals are partying it up, which is frequently, it's just hilarious. With those parties comes some great music, too. I found myself really into the music, more than on any animated film I have watched (or heard).
And - not only is the music excellent, the visuals are outstanding. The movie is filled with rich, deep colors that are stupendous to view. The only improvement would be a sharp Blu-Ray transfer.

Oh Barnyard! I bought this movie at a flea market for like [...] bucks. I started a collection of kiddie movies for my son who is now 11 months old. When he was about 3 months old and not sleeping through the night, we got up and I put this movie in just for sound at the time, He watched that movie so perfectly, no noise, no distraction, nothing, he was good and fell asleep to it, like I said hes 11 months old now, and its still the only movie he cares anything about, every other child movie he ignores, it's watched atleast once a day in my house every day since he was 3 months old, some kids get hooked on barney and the wiggles, mine likes barnyard! I consider myself lucky, and alot of people say theres not a plot or point to the movie, there is, its trying to teach kids not to act crazy and theres a time and place for it, I thought that was obivous. either way, this is a winner to me.
