* CruelCoyotes: Dag, the film's primary antagonist, is a sadistic, heartless coyote who leads a pack of coyotes just as vicious as he is and terrorizes the farm where the main characters live. Whereas his pack hunt for food, he seems to prefer killing his victims over eating them and even proves this by holding a keychain adorned with chicken feet. Finally, he is even responsible for [[spoiler:the death of Otis' father Ben]], fully pushing him into the [[MoralEventHorizon irredeemable]] territory. To further illustrate just how truly evil Dag is, the film's otherwise comedic tone disappears in a flash whenever he shows up.

Director Steve Oedekerk admits that he put udders on the steers because he thought [[RuleOfFunny "it'd be funny to give them the incorrect anatomy"]], and he had figured that city folk thought that all cows would look like this. Muddying things even further is there's a scene with a bull -- no, not a male cow, an actual ''bull'' -- riding a mechanical man.
