Thanks for the memories!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Barnyard film by nickelodeon, starring Kevin James as a cow whobrings funny comedic jokes as well as fight off a coyote army. OK OK I know what your saying, why are you reviewing this movie if so many think it's horrible. I do want to tell you all the truth, I think this movie is good, reason why is because it brings a good amount of nostalgia and lots of funny lines I remembered to this day. the movie has a good plot going for it, there are a couple of things wrong with the film, like the ending is sort of rushed and there is a ton of product placements. There is still a bunch of thing that are good, like the jokes in the movie and the characters, there are just too many to count. I saw the movie when it premiere and I was young at the time, from what I heard everyone said this movie will scare kids. I don't really understand that, because when I saw it I wasn't scared one bit. Maybe it was just one of those lying excuses to make the film look bad. I recently watched the film and it still holds up, if your looking for an obscure film that actually has a lot of funny jokes than this movie is for you. If your one of those haters, that didn't like it the first time, then check it out again and maybe you'll change your mind.

Otis the Cow (Kevin James) is the carefree irresponsible son of Ben the cow (Sam Elliott). So while Otis danced, Ben was fighting off the coyotes from the hen house. When Ben dies fighting the coyotes, Otis must step up, but he just can't fill his father's shoes.Steve Oedekerk did not have a good day when he created this pretty boring cartoon. The animation is horrendous. I don't know if it's a style choice, but it looks extremely cheap. There's a good message in here, but it's lost in weak humor and weaker characters. The movie is missing joy. Even when they're throwing around some jokes, they never work. Otis is just not likable.

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

As I think that children retain quite a bit of what they see, and relate, what they see on TV/Movies, as REALITY, the "udders" on the Bulls, was the most unsettling part of the presentation. How many children NOW think that a MALE cow (bull) has udders, like a female?They should have made the Bulls with NOTHING, as with cartoon male animals, in the past.Overall, it's an enjoyable movie, and I would recommend it for children, as long as it's pointed out, to the child, that "Boy" cows are called Bulls, and do not have udders; that only the "Girl" cows have them.Our kids don't need to be more confused than they already are, about "identity".
