TheLittleSongbird I don't think this is the worst animated movie I have ever seen, Titanic:The Animated Movie, Doogal and Secret of NIMH 2 are worse I feel, but Barnyard in my opinion isn't particularly that good. It does have a decent vocal cast; Kevin James, Courtney Cox, Danny Glover, Sam Elliot and Rob Paulsen do a good job but deserve better than their material lets them onto. And I did like the saying "A strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others".However, there were many things I did not like. The animation is not that great I feel, there is the occasional nice colourful background, but the character movements are cheap, forced and blocky. At best the music is forgettable, the story is unoriginal and uninspired, the dialogue is simplistic and often lowbrow, the gags are crude and totally not smart(well there was the occasional laugh but that isn't enough, but they went well overboard with the udders) and the characters(with the exception of Ben and Dag the Coyote) are obnoxious and unlikeable, with no really unique personalities. Overall, a big disappointment, could have been much better. 3/10 Bethany Cox

cipriana0106 The ONLY thing that bothered me throughout the entire movie were the udders shaking about in my face. Who cares if they talk, if it's violent (Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker anyone?), but the fact that the entire crew overlooked such an obvious error is REALLY disturbing. It's like an insult...and the fact that they don't seem to change that error is even more offensive. I have even written to the producers, to the channel, and no one cares. It's really, really annoying. I thought the story was fun and the series is no different, but there is no way on earth I will ever stop being amazed at the ignorance of the creators. The makers of Ratatoille did extensive research on French restaurant kitchens, actors research their characters...

FreakinFilmFreak93 There are stupid movies I have enjoyed, but this one is beyond stupid. It's a heaping pile of cowpat.Barnyard: The Original Party Animals is one stupid movie I didn't enjoy. It has familiar plots, very cheap animation, no actual plot, a few laughs and one very disturbing thing - male cows. With udders. What was Steve Oedekerk thinking when he chose the female cow design for the males? Udders are a cows boobs! Imagine there being a movie where women had the heads, personalities and voices of men...Anyway, the movie is about a hermaphrodite cow named Otis who acts like an ordinary cow when the humans see him. The other hermaphrodite cows and farm animals do the same. But when the humans are away, the animals will play. All goes well until Otis'... uhhh... Dad, named Ben, is killed by coyotes. This makes the story a stupid farm version of The Lion King, only with a lot of differences. After the funeral, Otis is elected to become The Farm Animal King, so they don't give a cow about the death and have a party in the barn. One night, Otis and his friends break the law for a while by getting their own back on a cow tipper. They also scare the heck out of the tipper by proving they can stand on two legs and talk. (Toy Story, anyone?) They have a lot of fun fooling cops and stuff until the coyotes return, so it's up to Otis and his animal friends to stop them!The fact that this movie has male cows is just disturbing and stupid. Sure it's a cartoon, but it's too disturbing for one! Ever seen a man breast-feeding a baby? Only in Family Guy. This film also has a freakin' bull in it! Shouldn't they have chosen that kind of bovine? But this is not the first time it's happened. It's happened in a a few British adverts, as well as some of the Ren & Stimpy episodes produced by Games.My final word - tiny people from another world who can control an android with a very human appearance has been alright for me, and so has chimpanzees rescuing a (almost) harmless and colourful alien planet and giant tomatoes killing people in God knows which way, but this film is a huge exception. And I can't believe they made the film into a TV series! I haven't watched it, nor do I plan to. All because this movie sucked udders.

gaza25 I first saw this film on an impulse, and I was most impressed by it! I thought it combined humour and sadness well and some of the childish humour was hysterical! It had enough happening in it to keep me watching without being too exciting and action-packed. Also the fact that the male cows had udders didn't bother me in the slightest, and i thought the rest of the graphics were great too! I took it on tour with me when I went with the local rugby club, and the whole rugby team loved it and everyone (especially the 48 year old coach!) wanted to watch it again on the way home! Now that IS pretty impressive for a children's film.
