It's a better-than-average animated feature.

L.A. Weekly
Even an advanced case of critter fatigue shouldn't stop you from rushing out to see this delightfully cheeky animated tale.

Variety
Zippy enough to delight youngsters and clever enough to engage their parents.

It's a sweet and mildly funny movie that will entertain young audiences, but one aspect is utterly mystifying: The two main characters, father and son bovine creatures, have large, distracting udders.

Entertainment Weekly
It feels like Barnyard swipes too much of its plot from "The Lion King."
