After Otis interrupts a routine morning barnyard roll call and meeting with his usual wild antics, Ben warns his son that he will never be happy if he spends all his life partying with his friends without acting more responsibly and maturely. Otis is a mischevious, fun-loving and carefree Holstein cow who prefers playing and making noise with all his barnyard friends rather than following strict rules and accepting responsibility much to the chagrin and annoyance of his stern, uptight adoptive father and leader of every animal in the barnyard, Ben. Nevertheless, it spawned a television series, titled Back at the Barnyard, which ran on Nickelodeon and later Nicktoons for two seasons from 2007 to 2011. It has received negative reviews from critics who described it as "unimaginative and unfunny" and particularly targeted its inaccurate depiction of bulls with udders for criticism. It grossed $116.5 million worldwide against a $51 million production budget. The film began development in 2002 and was released on August 4, 2006, in the United States and October 5, 2006, in Germany. It tells the story of Otis, a carefree Holstein cow who learns the value of responsibility when he becomes the leader of a group of barnyard animals after his father's death from a coyote attack.
The film stars the voices of Kevin James, Courteney Cox, Sam Elliott, Danny Glover, Wanda Sykes, Andie MacDowell, and David Koechner. The film is directed, produced, and written by Steve Oedekerk, the co-creator of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and the spin-off television series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. Barnyard (marketed as Barnyard: The Original Party Animals) is a 2006 computer-animated comedy film produced by O Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies.
