Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The hero of this woeful cartoon is a bull who has the job of guarding all the animals on the farm from hungry coyotes. And, like all the other bulls in the film, he has udders. Now, that might not seem like a big deal, but if you imagine a live-action film in which all the male actors are wearing false breasts you'll see how distracting it can be.
The mammary muddle is also typical of a cartoon that gets absolutely everything wrong, from the witless songs to the ugly, foam-rubber look of the computer animation, to the premise that all animals are as intelligent as humans, but they choose to keep it a secret from us because... well, who knows? Maybe they like being slaughtered.
Barnyard is a load of bull.
