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.

absolutely amazing movie. its genuinely hard to believe it has a 23% rotten tomatoes score. i think people are watching these animated movies expecting francis ford coppola level or something and cant just enjoy a stupid funny yet emotional movie about animals living in a farm. if you take it for what it is, its absolutely enjoyable and deserves a 100% score.

Hey Jerry, how's your mama? This movie looks like every day when you leave your farm home, the animals just act like humans! Wish I can do that someday when I grow up!
