Why the heck this animation has so many low scores? For me it's fun, interesting and perfect for any age! Great story, fun and unique characters and emotional scenes... 10/10

Barnyard is a cow patty.
The entire film is animated stupidity. The storyline is little to non existent, nearly every character is unlikeable, and the entire premise feels unnatural.

This movie is awesome! Otis is my funniest and favorite character in the entire film!

When will this ever get its own spin-off sequel?! It has been 7 years since the movie was last released and still no sequel!

Entirely unoriginal. I thought that some of the art direction was beautiful (moon over the meadow or the scrap yard), but the character animation was total garbage, especially the two male (!) cows. I go to see the new CGI movies to see the latest and greatest the technology has to offer, but this movie took a few steps backwards. Cars characters looked amazing, almost real, it amazed me throughout (even though it was sloooow). Not the same case here. Some bits are pretty funny, but overall; boring, repetetive, been-there, done-that. We'lll have to wait for Flushed Away to see something original. Don't waste your time or money. We don't need a Barnyard 2. Expand

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.

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.

Aside from the biological mistakes and crude drawings, I felt like I had to "debrief" the children I went with about the horrifying stereotypes and poor decision making in the film [***SPOILERS***] (the animals steal, drink, joy ride, break and enter, behave violently, and do other things that are not cool--all presented in the film as harmless fun). The presentation of all rural folks as either uneducated/stupid, crazy, or alcoholic was anything but charming. For most parts of the film that were intended to be jokes, the theater filled with kids was silent. And this is sad, but being a knitter, the presentation of knitting was so inaccurate that it was actually irritating to watch. Expand

I didn't know until recently that the weird TV series started as a movie, so I was curious, and while it's not as original as Flushed Away or as well animated as Shrek, essentially, it's few steps behind. This movie is neck and neck with Over the Hedge as the best animated film of 2006 in my opinion and some of the best talking animal movies I've seen. Not only does this movie put the fun back in being an independent farmer, but the main characters are very developed and memorable. The secondary characters, not as much. Expand

In fact, it's actually not even that bad! Sure, it came out in a Summer that was competitive for animated films and probably suffered from the glut of films, but it was still relatively entertaining. Occasionally charming, considerably funny and featuring some pretty solid characters, "Barnyard" is a considerably decent film. Sure, it's nothing amazing, but if you have kids, they might like it.

Actually is one of the best movies I ever see in my life.
Otis is a good dude and Biggie cheese. Mr.bombastic was really the point of this movie

10/10 is a Masterpiece

Barnyard escasamentee was fun for 25 minutes very boring rest , but who cares about that , this movie was for children of transition , but this genre of animation, was discredited , until they released an animated series.

It should have just stayed in the background as this movie has dumb animation, story, humor, and overall quality. While the begging isn't bad, it gets worse as it progesses.

All of Barnyard is odd. Oddly funny much of the way, oddly serious when it makes room for the early death of a beloved character or the hushed birth of another, oddly musical with its melange of hip-hop and reggae and hard rock and bluegrass.

A great animation. The story was better than I expected, and was actually memorable. I enjoyed the characters a lot. It was better than I expected, and worth a watch.

Just Another Mediocre Kids Flick
Barnyard isn’t awful, but it really doesn’t offer much for viewers above the age of 10. I will however say the Biggie Cheese memes are hilarious.

But the only thing I will agree that helps a little with watching it for god sack is the soundtrack, the music itself is outstandingly good, the rock to it is done very well as John Debney knows that even if it's a bad film, he can takes his free cash knowing he did his job right when everyone else feels like they know what to do but actually no.

So, this film is a masterpiece of the 3d animations, it has a emotional view of the society and the relation of son and dad, it made me cry 2 times and this is hard.
