False information

To the anonymous contributor who insists on making this, Happy Feet, and The Ant Bully into fictional co-productions between three or four studios: Please stop. Wikipedia is not your personal playground, and your edits will be reverted. If you want to post fiction, please go to Uncyclopedia. Thank you. tregoweth 02:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Similarities to The Far Side

edit

When I first saw a trailer for this film, I thought, "it looks like they're making a movie of The Far Side." They had the cows, the fat kids, even the old lady glasses, all basically what I would consider hallmarks of The Far Side. The art style also seems similar. I haven't seen anything indicating there is a connection though. WhiteDragon 18:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

you're not the only one to think it. When I saw the trailer, I immediately thought the same thing. Emb021 23 May 2006

Cow/Bull gender confusion

edit

I was wondering if anyone noticed that in the previews, some of the "cows" have male voices, yet also clearly sport udders on their stomachs? Just an interesting point if anyone wants to include it... maybe under trivia?

I feel sorry for the animators, producers, and writers, who honestlt don't know that male cows (i.e. bulls) don't have udders and I hope they aren't too embarassed if they see this discussion. At the same time, it makes a sad statement about the quality of education these days. --Zhaleskra

Wow, do you really think an entire crew of people smart enough to work with computer animation and write an entire movie would be oblivious to the difference between a male and female cow (besides the obvious)? There must be a reason they drew udders on the bulls in the movie, perhaps a joke. And don't blame it on education, there would be no significant reason to point out that only females have udders. --Sehnani —Preceding undated comment was added at 04:03, 31 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oh god why were the male cows spraying "milk" eeeeewwwww —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.109.173.233 (talk) 06:11, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

They probably do know, and simply did this for fun. --Crustaceanguy(t/co/cw) 20:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
Did it for "fun"? What does that mean exactly? I mean, in a film production sense what does that really mean and how much value does that excuse hold?
that it's a "Cartoon"? and those are inherently designed to be "fun"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.8.233 (talk) 14:09, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
Is it true that this movie also has a few bulls in it on the farm? If so, it would seem to be proof that the people behind this movie really did think cows and bulls were different species instead of different genders of the same species. I have no watching this movie to confirm. Evan1975 02:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
They obviously knew that “bull” is the bovine equivalent of “man”, as the ride the bull was enjoying was called a mechanical “man”. If they thought bulls were a separate species from cattle, they would have called the ride a “mechanical person”. What they failed to realize is that dairy bulls don’t produce milk, and are more masculine-looking than dairy cows. I guess some people take the term “dairy bull” too literally. --174.16.221.173 (talk) 01:35, 26 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
There is actually a bull in the movie, proving how dumb some people can be! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.143.70.11 (talk) 20:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
I think people are taking a cartoon a tad too seriously. While it's worth mentioning about a "male cow" it's really pushing it to argue how it "bothers people" with just a link to imdb user comments, if you look at them you could find complaints about anything and justify it, and the "bovine transamerica" comment? With no source? Are you kidding me? Axe it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.8.233 (talk) 14:05, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply


Isn't it obvious that they just didn't want to show dicks? Not surprising in a country where children's books are not sold, because there is a picture in it, where kids visit a museum - and on one little picture in the background within the big picture there is a naked man? Or where a person can be convicted as a pedophile, because he had a cartoon where the Simpson-kids were having sex? I guess the movie makers were afraid of "Christians" protesting if male cows have dicks, because it might harm children... what a laugh. --JonValkenberg (talk) 22:27, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Um, regardless of the reason why the bulls have utters, perhaps it would be a good idea to at least mention that it occurs. Unless it is already there and I missed it, but it should be in there with no implications as to the motives. Maybe add motives if per chance an agreement is reached. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.123.31.144 (talk) 02:12, 26 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Animal Farm

edit

Sure this LOOKS a lot like The Far Side but the story line seems to be loosely based on the George Orwell book, Animal Farm. I know there is now way to prove this but it makes for an interesting discussion. Didgepenguin

Barnyard or Barnyard: The Original Party Animals?

edit

It seems to me that according the Internet Movie Database [1], the film is called Barnyard: The Original Party Animals. Could you change the article from Barnyard (film) to Barnyard: The Original Party Animals because it's got a subtitle now?

-- The film has been mislabeled with this title. The line "The Original Party Animals" is used for promotional purposes and is in fact not a part of the film's title. It should therefore be removed and the article should be renamed Barnyard which is the entire title of the film.

SpongeBob?

edit

I just saw the movie and there was no SpongeBob short. Is this only in certain countries?

Yes it is it involves Spongebob and Patrick rasing animals —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.196.74 (talk) 19:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Why?

edit

Why do Otis and the others have to keep their humanlike qualities secret from the farmer? I never saw anything negative that happened when the farmer saw them having the party. 70.58.211.220

Plot

edit

This isn't a plot summary, it is a play-by-play description of the entire movie. Is there anyone who has seen the movie that could summarise it more succintly? I can't really tell which are the major plot points and which are just events in the narrative. Andoka 06:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also I think that whoever wrote the summary is retarded. Spelling and grammar errors abound. I'd rewrite it but I have not seen the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.95.210 (talk) 07:48, 30 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Please merge any relevant content from Barnyard (TV series) per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barnyard (TV series). Thanks. Quarl (talk) 2007-01-02 02:53Z

Furry Dancing thingy

edit

what was that furry dancing thing they let out of the box? If it's already in the article i must have skipped over it. It had arms and legs but otherwise looked like a giant dustball .

I watched the movie yesterday, and the animals called him "Wild Mike". I may be wrong, but somewhere in the movie, I think, his face could be seen for a split second. It looked like a Tasmanian devil, but the writers of the movie, most likely, did not intend for him to belong to any real species, to make him look more humorous. --Crustaceanguy(t/co/cw) 19:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC) I think you're right about the face being seen.

Reception

edit

There is no reception section, except for the male-cow's-udders joke. Crowstarcaws 00:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unlinked Actors

edit

Is there any reason that the actor's names aren't linked to their pages? I mean, most other movie cast listings do so, I would have linked them myself, but I was thinking that their may have been a reason they weren't linked seeing as there was much much much more than enough time for someone to do so - PokeFan2006 (talkcontribs) 07:07, 1 September 2007

Nevermind, I just went ahead and linked them myself anyway - PokeFan2006 (talkcontribs) 4:24 , 2 September 2007

Plot bloat

edit

In this edit I removed a lot of detail from the plot section, which was too long at 808 words. I brought it down to about 688. Removed the actor names, as it is unnecessary and only clutters the section. There's a lot about the plot that I don't understand, not having seen the movie. It seems that Otis was supposed to be on lookout with his dad, but then goes inside to party. It's unclear if him going inside is what gives the coyotes their advantage to raid the chicken coop. I'm also unclear about what relevance the dancing stars have to the story. I know there's a callback at the end, but it seems unrelated to the plot. I've tagged some of these things in case anyone wishes to clarify them. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:10, 8 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

"German-American"???

edit

How is this a German-American movie? Wasn't its production carried out entirely in California?

I know AFI says it's German, but that may not be a reliable source.--2601:980:8000:338B:F9B5:BD61:7020:923 (talk) 03:02, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

AFI is generally considered a reliable source. Where it was physically produced isn't necessarily the only factor in determining nationality. In this case, the copyright claimant is a German company, which suggests that they backed it financially. Thus, it's reasonable that it would be considered a German co-production. Hope that helps. Also, if that answer doesn't satisfy you, you could ask what folks think at WikiProject Film. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:36, 3 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
