What really happens on the farm when the farmer isn&t looking? In director Steve Oedekerk&s (KUNG POW ENTER THE FIST ACE VENTURA WHEN NATURE CALLS) computer-generated animation feature the farm animals can do everything humans do They talk walk upright buy human contraband from a &grey market& run by the gophers & even turn the barn into a nightclub Of course they do all of this in secret The biggest party animal is Otis (voiced by Kevin James) a happy-go-lucky cow who&s always up for a crazy stunt or practical joke (bizarrely the movie is full of male cows with udders) But Otis& carefree attitude doesn&t sit too well with his father Ben (Sam Neill) the barnyard patriarch & protector While he loves his slacker son Ben thinks that Otis needs to learn some responsibility if he is to continue his legacy When the dangerous coyote season arrives & Ben is no longer able to serve as barnyard security mayhem ensues & the farm starts to resemble an amusement park Alas Otis is still too immature to take the lead preferring instead to woo bovine beauty Daisy (Courtney Cox) & party with his friends But when push comes to shove will Otis stand up to the coyotes & protect the barnyard or will he turn the udder cheek? This coming-of-age tale is bolstered by the human antics of the animals & genuine laugh-out-loud moments for all ages Wanda Sykes voices Bessy Daisy&s cynical cow friend & Danny Glover voices Miles the Mule a sage elder on the farm Songs by Tom Petty & Peter Gabriel as well as other artists elevate the soundtrack above typical children&s fare
