The barn transforms into a nightclub, complete with gambling, a bar, music, dancing, and mechanical "man-ride". Enjoying every minute of fun is carefree bull Otis Kevin James. But Otis' dad, Ben Sam Elliott , and an old mule, Miles Danny Glover , think he needs to be more discreet about the fact that animals are smarter than humans.
Ben goes over the rules once again all of which Otis breaks : 1 No swimming in the pool; 2 No watching TV through the farmhouse window; and 3 Standing on two legs is only permitted when humans are nowhere in sight.
When Ben suddenly goes the way of all loving parents in family movies he dies! Will he grow up and be a leader? Or will he use his newfound power for more tricks and cowfoolery? Compared to other CGI movies, the animation seems flat and the humor dated. Most of the jokes about humans' ill-conceived notions of the animal world seem lifted from Toy Story. And the "father dies leaving the kid in charge" storyline is straight out of The Lion King. Although Barnyard has a few funny moments you can see them in the trailers , a little originality would have gone a long way.
Families can talk about how Otis and his pals should have acted. Were they right to go out partying when their elders told them not to? How soon can kids start taking responsibility for their actions? Why is it important for kids to listen to their parents? And would Barnyard have had a different outcome if Otis had acted responsibly right from the beginning?

October 25, Legit Barnyard Review Absolute bangerrrrrrr. Adult Written by wallyk April 9, Excellent movie for kids of all ages! I was worried about letting my 3 and 5 year old see this movie because the trailers made me think it was aimed at more of a pre-teen audience. After screening it I was thrilled with the movie and had no hesitations about showing it to my children.
