That the lead character is a 'male cow' complete with udders shows how confused the picture is.

The animation is perfectly colorful and the voice actors earn their paychecks, but it's blatantly obvious that this thing started production without a screenplay -- and hit the screens without a plot.

There is a nice mix of humour and pathos here. Barnyard may not be all that exceptional, but it is quite satisfying.
