Barnyard adaptations: films & series

Every version of Barnyard — the films & series, compared across media.

The farm has a secret: when the humans aren't watching, the animals walk, talk, and run their own society. At the heart of it is Barnyard's Holstein troublemaker Otis — a fun-loving cow who'd rather goof off with his crew than face responsibility. That world and that character carry across a feature film and a TV series, each finding its own angle on the same barnyard premise.

Frequently asked

Is Barnyard based on a book?

No source material beyond the film itself appears in these versions. Back at the Barnyard is a TV series that continues the world and characters introduced in the 2006 animated film Barnyard.

How many versions of Barnyard are there?

There are two screen versions: the 2006 animated film Barnyard and the 2007 animated TV series Back at the Barnyard, both centred on Otis the cow.

Should I watch Barnyard before Back at the Barnyard?

The 2006 film Barnyard introduces Otis and the farm's secret world, making it a natural starting point before the TV series Back at the Barnyard picks up with the same characters.
