History YMMV / Barnyard

** Freddie the ferret too in both the movie and BackAtTheBarnyard.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: "A strong man stands up for himself. A stronger man stanods up for others."

*** Watch this scene again. Now think back on the happiest moment you shared with a parent/parent figure in the context of this scene. Admit it. You cried your eyes out.

* FridgeBrilliance: [[SarcasmMode Has anybody already mentioned the bulls with udders?]] This, along with the infertility problems, might be simply explained as side effects of steroid medication (to make them grow faster) of the animals by the farmer.

** [[Then there's the aftermath. The whole farm holds a funeral for Ben. Otis is off by himself mourning on his father's watching spot. As he looks at a stream he remembers fishing with his father. It's absolutely heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.]]

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Ben's death]] and its aftermath.

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:Ben's death.]]

* FridgeLogic[=/=]WhatAnIdiot: Sure, Otis' friends pulls a pretty cool BigDamnHeroes moment right before he's be killed by the coyotes, but why didn't he bring them all with him to ''begin'' with?

* CompleteMonster: Dag, the leader of the pack of coyotes. Unlike the other coyotes who kill for food, Dag seems to get more out of killing than he probably should. This is shown when he shows a group of chickens his chain which has severed chicken legs on it. When faced with Otis's father Ben, he murders him and then shames Otis by telling him that his father would've survived had he been there for him. He then makes a compromise with Otis that states that he and his pack of coyotes could get a couple of animals every night, but if Otis didn't comply, Dag and his coyotes would personally slaughter everything in the farm that he held dear. [[WouldHurtAChild He then tries to spitefully eat the young chick]] Maddy [[InsultBackfire just because she referred to him as a "meaner."]]

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Coyotes do not travel in packs and are actually highly territorial.
** Otis shouldn't have ''udders''.

* CompleteMonster: Dag the Coyote. sure he's just doing what comes naturally to his species but he constantly gloats about Ben's murder to Otis, tricks Otis into letting him steal the chickens ''in broad daylight'' and tries to eat Maddie the Chick live ForTheEvulz.

* MoralEventHorizon: Otis' father's fate is all thanks to Dag.

** Although some in the FurryFandom see Dag as a DracoInLeatherPants.
*** Dag is a skin and bones, extremely ugly coyote. How the hell could even some members of the FurryFandom see him as a DracoInLeatherPants?
*** Believe me, [[YourMileageMayVary he is]].
