The story's not the greatest, but I would enjoy it except for those fucking udders!

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
A friend listened to the commentary or some interview or something, and the creator basically said that they have udders because he thinks udders are funny. Like-- everything is funnier with udders. Apparently (I have never seen this) the ones with udders are male cows, but there are also bulls, with no udders and horns.

except for those fucking udders!
Maybe that's where the animators got confused, they thought udders make an entirely different fluid than what they do.

move out and draw fire

So...like how human eunuchs get man-boobs, castrated bovines get udders?
I do love that the tractor-cows in Cars have udders, though.

I don't think there are any bulls without udders in the film. The creator is just wrong. Udders are not funny when they're distracting you from a perfectly good story.

If you accept not-logic that "cows have udders" and you give every cow-like creature an udder, you then avoid the icky questions of "Parent-person, why doesn't that cow have an udder?" and you can avoid the whole male-female physical differences thing.
Disney (and the kid cartoon world), they're just protecting the kids.

It's Dreamworks in this case. And the funny thing is that there is a pregnant cow in the plot. She has her baby at the end of the film so there is a distinct difference between male and female cow characters.
I just need to start a kids' movie blog or something where I can rant about some of the things that drive me crazy with the movies Owen watches.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You totally should! Umm, not that you need even more to do. But you'd be fabulous at it, and the rants, they need a-ranting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A friend of mine just started a parent rant blog. Sounds like a fit.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yeah I hate those stupid effing udders but Sophia is right, Barnyard's creators thought it would be funny.
