Overrated and overhyped

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".
My family has watched Barnyard more times together than any other movie. The simple reason is that it makes us laugh. We have surpassed watching it 10 times and each time we all look forward to its zany antics, clever humor and fun story line. My son goes around imitating the characters all day and acting out the scenes. The pizza delivery scene was brilliantly done. This one of the first movies we have seen where the characters mannerisms match the persona of the voice's owner. Kevin James' personality and physical humor comes out easily. Sam Elliot's voice and personality were a perfect match for the role in which he is Otis's father.
