Barnyard

ActionAdventureAnimationComedyDramaFamily90 min

On a quiet farm, the animals drop their barnyard routine as soon as the humans leave, turning the place into a loud, rule-free playground. Otis, a carefree young cow voiced by Kevin James, would rather joke around than take anything seriously, especially the duties his adoptive father Ben expects him to shoulder. When a coyote attack shatters the farm’s easy balance, Otis is pushed into a role he has spent the whole movie avoiding. As the predators keep pressing in and the other animals look for someone to follow, he has to decide whether he can protect the herd, hold the community together, and grow into the kind of leader Ben believed he could be.
