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.

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.

C-

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

Rating: 9.2/10 - Just recently rewatched Barnyard with some friends. I really liked this movie as a kid and a teen, and as an adult it did not disappoint. I was in disbelieve when I saw this movie had a 23% on the tomato meter. I was only 1 year old when this movie released, so I have no idea what the buzz was when this movie released. Was it supposed to be some adult movie and people were disappointed??? The fact that the popcorn meter is only 52% is also ridiculous. This movie is near peak comedy and iconic lines. Biggie cheese, wild mike, jersey cows, Mr. Beady, Miles the Mule, Pig the Pig, all of them are icons in my eyes. In addition to the awesome characters, you have one of the best music soundtracks in a kids movie. With Biggie Cheese, Wild Mike, and Ben's performance all highlighting that. You also have so many iconic lines like; "Mrs. Beady: Randall, There is a cow outside. Mr. Beady: This is a cow farm. You're gonna find cows outside." "Ben the Cow: Otis, a strong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stands up for others" "Pizza Delivery Guy: Dude, I got a ARM! Pizza Delivery Guy: Yah, Righteous!. Doodley Doodley Doo Doo!" Overall, this movie is great and any Barnyard slander will not be tolerated.

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.
