The best animation ever made.......2007-07-29
I think what makes this film so effective, is that it combines music with animation so incredibly well, it's allmost like watching an hour and a half long music video! The story is great for a kids film, apart from all this rubbish about ecceptance and becoming a man. To round it up: Otis is a young crazy male cow (with udders??) who loves to party. When something terrible happens to his father, Otis has to take his place as leader of the barnyard. Unfortunately for him, it's hieena season.
Consisting of some fantastic chase and fight sequences, a great deal of emotion, and some solid laugh out loud gags. Barnyard is an absolute hit.
For some reason, however, it did not do very well in the box office, and unfortunately, not on DVD either. I don't know why, maybe it was because the humour is way to adult for young children, and lets be honest, not many adults watch animations unless the kids want to! This, aswell, contains some very unusual matiriel you would not find in any other childs moooovie. The scene when they keep on knocking the farmer out is very odd and unusual indeed. As I said earlier, the music is a massive element of this, at times really making you want to get up and dance, tingle inside, and even cry. "And I wont, back, down..." (acoustic) Brilliant. Maybe, if Paramount added in a few swear words, some violence and some gore, and ranked it up a notch to a 12 or 15, it would have been much more of a success. All the characters somehow fit, however are odd options.
A film for anyone, really, who likes a bit of wit and unusualness in their MOOOVIES! Forget manga, Finding Nemo, Shreck, Hoodwinked, Barnyard is the greatest animation to come out for a long long time, and it's going to take a hec of alot to knock this off of the top spot. A truly great film, making some bold decisions in its path. 10 out of 10.

Barnyard........2007-03-17
If you can overlook the fact that the male cows have udders, then it's not a bad movie. The story is pretty good and sound track is great. Not the top end of the CGI spectrum, but a watchable movie that the kids will enjoy. Made me laugh!
laugh out loud movie!.......2007-02-05
I have always said that if you want to watch a great movie, then you should always choose kids films & "barnyard" is exactly why.
This film is sooo funny, each & every animal has their own unique charactor that you just love. The script well written, with both kids & their parents each enjoying the funny banter.
I suppose the one thing that may put people off, is that the graphics are not quite up to other movie's, such as open season(big bore of a movie), but this doesn't in my opinion detract from the movie.
There are some real corkers in this film, from the poor farmer to the very annoying kid.
My family saw this movie twice while it was in the cinema & we cannot wait for it to come out on dvd.
Party Animals Fall Flat.......2007-01-08
Though heavy on star power
This one runs out of steam
In many parts it just rips off
"The Lion King" in theme
Respected father rules the roost
Unworthy son's buck wild
This is another one where fate
Must tame a problem child
Animals walk on their hind legs
When humans aren't in sight
They love a swingin' hoedown
And can party through the night
Coyotes in the hen house
Steers start riding Hogs
Other than a few sight gags
This one goes to the dogs
It should've been "Made for TV"
A plot without a rudder
Just seeing all those "teated" steers
Induced a spinal shudder
The soundtrack is the only thing
That keeps this movie going
Change the channel right away
If you see this one showing
