[edit] False information

To the anonymous contributor who insists on making this, Happy Feet, and The Ant Bully into fictional co-productions between three or four studios: Please stop. Wikipedia is not your personal playground, and your edits will be reverted. If you want to post fiction, please go to Uncyclopedia. Thank you. tregoweth 02:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Why was he adding 20th Century Fox and Columbia Pictures? Elil 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Similarities to The Far Side

When I first saw a trailer for this film, I thought, "it looks like they're making a movie of The Far Side." They had the cows, the fat kids, even the old lady glasses, all basically what I would consider hallmarks of The Far Side. The art style also seems similar. I haven't seen anything indicating there is a connection though. WhiteDragon 18:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

you're not the only one to think it. When I saw the trailer, I immediately thought the same thing. Emb021 23 May 2006

• • • When I saw the trailer I was kindof reminded of Orwell's Animal Farm, anyone know if the writers really based the movie on either of these? --YankeeDoodle14 23:59, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cow/Bull gender confusion

I was wondering if anyone noticed that in the previews, some of the "cows" have male voices, yet also clearly sport udders on their stomachs? Just an interesting point if anyone wants to include it... maybe under trivia?

I feel sorry for the animators, producers, and writers, who honestlt don't know that male cows (i.e. bulls) don't have udders and I hope they aren't too embarassed if they see this discussion. At the same time, it makes a sad statement about the quality of education these days. --Zhaleskra

[edit] Animal Farm

Sure this LOOKS a lot like The Far Side but the story line seems to be loosely based on the George Orwell book, Animal Farm. I know there is now way to prove this but it makes for an interesting discussion. Didgepenguin

[edit] Barnyard or Barnyard: The Original Party Animals?

It seems to me that according the Internet Movie Database [1], the film is called Barnyard: The Original Party Animals. Could you change the article from Barnyard (film) to Barnyard: The Original Party Animals because it's got a subtitle now?

-- The film has been mislabeled with this title. The line "The Original Party Animals" is used for promotional purposes and is in fact not a part of the film's title. It should therefore be removed and the article should be renamed Barnyard which is the entire title of the film.

[edit] SpongeBob?

I just saw the movie and there was no SpongeBob short. Is this only in certain countries?

[edit] TV Show

I don't know how to add citations but here is the needed citation for the Animated series coming out next year: http://mag.awn.com/index.php?ltype=pageone&article_no=2970&page=3

[edit] Why?

Why do Otis and the others have to keep their humanlike qualities secret from the farmer? I never saw anything negative that happened when the farmer saw them having the party. 70.58.211.220

[edit] Plot

This isn't a plot summary, it is a play-by-play description of the entire movie. Is there anyone who has seen the movie that could summarise it more succintly? I can't really tell which are the major plot points and which are just events in the narrative. Andoka 06:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge from Barnyard (TV series)

Please merge any relevant content from Barnyard (TV series) per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barnyard (TV series). Thanks. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-01-02 02:53Z

[edit] Furry Dancing thingy

what was that furry dancing thing they let out of the box? If it's already in the article i must have skipped over it. It had arms and legs but otherwise looked like a giant dustball .
