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.

Buena película, una cinta de animación bastante infravalorada en mi opinión. Esta película nunca la había visto con atención, solo conocía a los personajes de diversas veces que los vi en la tele o en algún meme, pero no era una peli que iba a ver con muchas expectativas. La verdad es que conecte bastante con la cinta, te engancha desde el primer momento y si te adentras en este mundo en el que los animales viven una vida alocada en la granja la vas a pasar muy bien viéndola. Tiene un humor genial que me causo bastante gracia en algunos momentos; sin embargo, creo que no funcionaria tanto sin el doblaje latino, ya que cambia bastante los diálogos de la película al punto de hacer chistes mucho mejores que los originales. La historia es simple, pero tiene unos toques algo oscuros o raros que no esperaba en una película para chicos, lo cual me sorprendió para bien ya que le da un toque mas serio a la trama. El villano principal si hay que decir que es algo olvidable ya que no sale mucho y me hubiera gustado que se le de mas importancia ya que lo que hace en su poco tiempo en pantalla es bastante importante. Por otro lado, la banda sonora es destacable, con algunos temas muy buenos que complementan de una gran manera con la cinta. Algo que no me termino de convencer fue su animación, la cual me parece que tiene momentos que no se ve para nada mal, como en la noche, pero hay veces que la noto de poca calidad y no me gusto del todo. En conclusión, una buena película que me gusto mas de lo que esperaba y que considero infravalorada, ya que cuenta con una gran historia que tiene momentos serios y muy divertidos también. La recomiendo.

This movie was funny!!! Not only did it focus on comedy but also a bit of tragedy. The story was... ok but instead of an unforgettable story it gave us a "sample from the shopping mall"!

yo la vi en 2021 y me parecio re entretenida pero lo malo es que en la serie de la peli el prota le cambia la voz y la vaca la que tuvo un hijo no aparece creo

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.

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