I haven’t seen anything written questioning why the upcoming film Barnyard has a protagonist named Otis, who is obviously male, but is obviously a cow, not a bull, complete with udders.
Helloooooo?
Why not draw him like Porky Pig and give him nothin’? At least then it would be generic. I suppose the idea is that udders look funny?
Looks to me more like some kind of alien athletic supporter…

Happened across everyones comments today – nice to know that I am not the only one who thinks the a male cow with udders is just wrong. It’s not even funny – just dumb. Maybe the thought that he ‘is in transition’ works – then its really not a kids show then, hmmmmmm. People say cartoons have no depth-LOL.
I watch the television show on Nickelodeon. I haven’t seen the movie. It doesn’t bother me that Otis is a male cow instead of a bull but I do think it’s stupid. The people who made the movie and the television show should’ve known better.
“So my best guess, is that he was born a girl, but is attempting gender reassignment. ”
My little brother watches it, and this is my guess as well. It’s the only logical answer, and it would be cool if it was what the director intended. but sadly…. cartoons no matter how crazy, do have to have a sense of logic. Even the early spongebob cartoons had that “out of this world but still logical” logic that made it funny.
From what I’ve seen this show doesn’t and it bothers the heck out of me. If it’s a transgender cow, fine, but don’t make parents try to explain male cows with udders to their kids.. sheesh.
I can believe I did not notice this! We had a discussion in science about how this bothered my Bio teacher, as well as things such as a flaw in the Hungry Caterpillar book. x3; Off topic. Ya. This is somewhat funny though… The thought of a transvestite bull. HA! It’s a stupid, unintentional, hilarious mistake and grade school kid could make.
This is not a good movie. I was watching it today and I changed the channel few minutes after. This brings more confusion than entertainment. And I think is promoting homosexuality.
Wow! Really? I’ve never been more depressed about the state of society than after reading the diatribes regarding a cartoon! A cartoon!!!
I just finish reading all the 56 comments and I have to tell you I been wondering this udders thing since the movie was made asking myself Am I wrong??? I know cows are females and bulls are males and bulls dont have udders because thats part of the reproductive organs of the cow to feed calves. It is very difficult to explain a 4 years old child why they have udders, it is just stupid, I could not find it funny at all. It is just confusing, to the kids, to us and also makes the film makers look stupid, also could be possible they want to introduce the Subject Homosexualism with this movie because we all know this is not knew, what really bother me is that this movie is directed to kids…. So of what are we talking about here????
I have been confused by this also. If you think this is weird, you think wrong. What’s even weider is that they do have a bull in the movie. As in, a real Bull (no utters). But yet they give the other “bulls” utters. Why can they not just take off the utters from the “male cows” like they did with the bull?
P.S.-If you don’t know what bull I’m talking about, it’t the part where the animals are partying and Bessie, the new cows friend, takes two chairs from a cow and a bull.
Why are we still commenting on the gender-bending cow?
