Barnyard
Paramount Pictures has sent over two alerts for their upcoming animated film Barnyard. First, we can expect a new trailer for the film by next week. Second, Paramount is ready to show off a couple new characters and movie stills from the film.
Barnyard Movie Stills
From Steve Oedekerk and Nickelodeon Movies, two of the co-creators of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius , and filmed entirely in CGI, comes this hilarious look at what really happens in a barnyard when the farmer's back is turned. Barnyard is a lighthearted tale centering around Otis (voiced by Kevin James), a carefree party cow, who enjoys singing, dancing and playing tricks on humans. Unlike his father Ben (voiced by Sam Elliott), the respected patriarch of the farm, and Miles, the wise old mule (voiced by Danny Glover), Otis is unconcerned about keeping the animals' humanlike talents a secret. But when suddenly put in the position of responsibility, the “udderly” irresponsible cow finds the courage to be a leader.

Though the stills do show off some great new scenery, it is the actual story of the movie that troubles me. Judging by the teaser trailer, the film's comedy looks like it is making the big mistake of forgetting about the adult audience. However, we shouldn't rush to judgment until we see the full trailer next week.
Barnyard will come to theatres on October 6th.
