The neurotic ferret Freddy goes to liberal lengths to avoid temptation to eat his rooster friend by becoming a [[vegetarianism|vegetarian]]. Not only that, but the bulls lack horns and have female udders, and there are brief scenes referencing alcohol and gambling. On top of that, the movie is widely considered to have stolen much of its plot from the great conservative animation ''The Lion King''. | + | |Set on a barnyard where animals speak and behave like humans in the absence of real humans, this ''Lion King'' clone stars a bull who witnesses his father die after being wounded by coyotes, then gradually accepts the responsibilities that come with being the leader of his animal community. Nevertheless, ''Barnyard'' accepts disorderly conduct because the animals still party recklessly, even with a serious, dedicated bull in charge. Plus, it portrays humans as either ignorant or stupid, and persecutes coyotes for being carnivores.

| − | |One of Pixar's less memorable animations stars Merida, a feminist Medieval Scottish princess who refuses to marry, believing it will cause her to lose her life of archery and adventure, thus demonstrating poor family values throughout. Of course, because this is a feminist propaganda piece, the men in the film are oafish compared to the women, too. Egregiously, Merida was added to the Disney Princess lineup despite the poor morals she demonstrates throughout the film and her being created by Pixar, not by Disney directly. | + | |One of Pixar's less memorable animations stars Merida, a feminist Medieval Scottish princess who refuses to marry, believing it will cause her to lose her life of archery and adventure, thus demonstrating poor family values throughout.

| − | |This painfully unoriginal animation, which was adapted from a 1943 World War II propaganda short by conservative filmmaker Walt Disney, mocks family values, especially when the title chicken's widower father, Buck "Ace" Cluck, is shown to be willing to disown his son, and later on when the aliens proceed to attempt to invade and later blow up Planet Earth simply because they thought it kidnapped their child. The film is borderline nihilistic because the townspeople are mean-spirited and frequently bully Chicken Little, and a brief gag implies that warping someone's mind against their will is acceptable. As one of the worst theatrical productions ever made by the Walt Disney Company under [[Michael Eisner]], the film's mean-spirited and deeply cynical plot line is suspected to have been done to compete with [[DreamWorks]] animated films helmed by [[Jeffrey Katzenberg]]. | + | |This painfully unoriginal animation, which was adapted from a 1943 World War II propaganda short by conservative filmmaker Walt Disney, ridicules family values, especially when the title chicken's widower father, Buck "Ace" Cluck, is shown to be willing to disown his son.
