When the farmer is away, carefree party animal Otis and his barnyard friends display their humanlike abilities and have a great time in this animated children’s adventure.
This is Otis:
Something’s rather odd, have you noticed?
Yes, that’s right, Otis has udders, as does his dad
and his mates.
Apparently the director Steve Oedekerk chose to depict these male bovines with udders as he thinks that udders look funny.
Fine, so they’re male cattle with man boobs. I can get my head round that. However, this gender jumble is muddled further by the fact that Otis and his friends refer to themselves as cows rather than bulls.
Are you confused? Just think how misleading this is to the kids it’s aimed at.
