Critics Consensus

Unimaginative and unfunny, this tale of barnyard mischief borders on 'udder' creepiness and adds little to this summer's repertoire of animated films.

J. R. Jones

Chicago Reader

The laughs subside near the end as the requisite moral kicks in, but this is still that rare kids' movie I'd recommend to parents and nonparents alike.

This could be the film that snaps everyone's patience with Hollywood animations which have a Dell computer chip where their heart should be.

The overall feeling I had leaving Barnyard was one of feeling genuinely creeped out.

A re-hash of tired cliches and CGI effects.

Criminal acts and scenes of brutal violence spoil the effect of "Barnyard" as an animated movie for tots.

It is a funny movie. Each character is different than some others. It is a bit of a weird movie. The plot is kinda interesting but tasteless.

Is Animal House meets Toy Story but to dark for little kids especially a disturbing scenes and there's some funny moments but some are not funny and Otis the cow is just the worst character and the animation design looks weird like I'm watching a horrible animation from different animation studios.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, mas a cena da vaca junto com o porco comprando as pizzas foi legal, mas de resto é fraco, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos, mas ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom,
