    It's a better-than-average animated feature.

    It feels like Barnyard swipes too much of its plot from "The Lion King."

    If you want to punish your kids, send them to bed without dinner. If you want to disturb, frighten and depress them while making sure they fail biology, take them to the animated feature Barnyard.
  4. A bizarrely off-key animated comedy.

    Fabulous kids movie. Very funny, moving without a hint of cheese. Fast paced with great use of music.

    I thought this movie was adorable. It was light hearted and fun. It wasn't too long or slow like some kids movies these days and not too "teachy"; just a fun story. Expand

    Funny movie. Better than I thought it would be. Didn't find it offensive for anyone. Good family movie

    Not appropriate for children. My 1st comment when watching the movie was "hey" why do the male cows have udders - why weren't the 2 main characters bulls?? I didn't like the movie and don't think it's for kids. Collapse
