A cow learns to walk like a man, both literally and figuratively, in this computer-animated
comedy written and directed by
Steve Oedekerk, the creator of
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.
Ben (voice of
Sam Elliott) is a cow who for years has been the leader and sober voice of reason among the animals at a farm where the critters are a bit unusual -- they can walk on two legs, talk, swim, and act like humans, though they have the good sense to avoid doing these things while humans are around.
Ben has long dreamed that his son
Otis (voice of
Kevin James) would someday take over his duties on the farm, but
Otis is a carefree and irresponsible type who would rather party with his friends and hang out with his girlfriend,
Daisy (voice of
Courteney Cox).
Ben and his friend
Miles (voice of
Danny Glover), a wise and patient mule, wonder if
Otis will ever make anything of himself, while
Dasiy's best friend,
Bessy (voice of
Wanda Sykes), is convinced she can do better. However, one night
Otis decides to do something about an obnoxious kid who enjoys tipping his fellow cows, and for the first time in his life he gets a taste of leadership -- and he likes it.
Barnyard also features the voice talents of
Andie MacDowell,
Maria Bamford, and
Maurice LaMarche.
