So I am watching the movie Barnyard with my kids..

[BooGiMaN]

Why did no one in the production process of the movie ever point out the fact that there is no such thing as a male cow with udders..

to make matters more confusing i actually did see a bull in the movie in the background...so wtf were they thinking?

I'd write your congressman STAT and demand an apology and reparations.

That or you could sue for them confusing your kids and potentially changing their sexual orientation in the future. It's the American way.

 

[FoBoT]

yeah, my wife/kids noticed that right away and thought that was odd

Because they wanted to show male full frontal. Now, since you can't show one of those in a kids' animated movie, you go ahead and show four.

They made a movie where a male cow has udders? Wtf? You really would expect someone to notice that in production.

 

[jdini76]

in A Bugs Life the ants only have four appendages.

And why does Goofy talk and Pluto not?

 

[Queasy]

Transexual cow?

'It's funny. For something that I spent, probably, .002 seconds on,
it's become quite the talk,' says Steve Oedekerk, Barnyard's
writer-director-producer. 'There was never a real decision made. I get
a lot of images that pop into my head. I've always thought cows are
kind of funny animals - and udders are funny.

'They're not there to define gender,' Oedekerk soberly clarifies. 'In
the movie, the men are clearly men, the women are clearly women.
There's no weird stuff that's going on. It just looks funny'."

In other words, he's an idiot and didn't even think about it until people started complaining.

"Do Californians have no concept of biology? Oedekerk has said in
published interviews that he is quite aware that bulls don't have
udders, but udders are funny and so that's the way he wanted to draw
them."

Yes I watched this movie and it bugged me the whole time

Obviously people don't get Steve Oedekerk's weird sense of humor. Has not one ever seen his Thumb series or Kung pow enter the fist, and checked out what they couldn't put in the movie??? It never bothered me because thats Steve's sense of humor and I got it right off the bat when the first male Utter equipped bull talked, I got a chuckle out of it.
