Moo-ve over, all you pretenders...here are the original party animals - the critters of Barnyard! This laugh-filled, tuneful animated adventure stars Otis (voiced by Kevin James), a carefree party cow. To the consternation of his respected father Ben (voiced by Sam Elliott), Otis is happy to spend his days singing, dancing and playing tricks on humans. But all good things must come to an end, and when Otis is suddenly forced into his father's position of responsibility, the animal antics multiply as he struggles to find the courage and talent to be a true leader. Wild, wacky and "udderly" hilarious, here's a herd of animated pranksters that'll keep you laughing out loud!

 | Barnyard: The Original Party Animals By: Pamela Kerpius - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/18/2006 10:20 PM | | The whole movie is string of coincidental mishaps and blunders by a young cow who'd rather play than take work orders from his father Ben (Sam Elliot). Without rhyme or reason the film opens with the young cow Otis (Kevin James) "hill surfing" with his chicken and pig pals. Does Otis have affection for tearing down a grassy hill on a surfboard so strong that it's picked up again in the story' Is it his dream to be a professional "hill surfer'" Is there any reason why the concept of "hill surfing" is integral to the story at all' No, no, and no. ...read the full review |

"[The] dialogue and effects are recorded well, which, when combined with the good mix, makes for an enjoyable experience." 02/01/2007 p.70DVD Talk 7 of 10
As Barnyard will remind you routinely, it's a colorful, spazzy cartoon aimed directly at children. There's nothing criminal about that goal, but it also holds the picture back from becoming something exceptional, or at the very least, a production that awakens the senses. - Brian Orndorf
Reel.com 7 of 10
Barnyard is a sub-par family flick of scant charm and threadbare wit. The small fry may get a kick out of some of the animated slapstick, but for anyone over the age of ten, watching this Nickelodeon Movies production is about as appealing as stepping in a steaming cow pie. - Tim Knight
