Barnyard



A 2006 Nickelodeon movie about Otis, a cow version of a Man Child, and a party animal who becomes frightened at the possibility of having to grow up and accept responsibility as the leader of the Barnyard. Otis is elected as new leader and must look out for all the other animals and tell them when it's the best time for them to go around on their two feet. There's a pregnant cow voiced by Courtney Cox in the plot there somewhere and some Big Bad coyotes, but for the most part, it's pretty confusing.

Needs Wiki Magic Love.
