Udderly confusing
“Barnyard: The Original Party Animals”, a new animated film for kids, made a strange choice when developing the appearance of their characters. The main characters are cows, both male and female.
So why do characters named Ben and Otis, voiced by Sam Elliot and Kevin James, sport udders??? In this film, cows of both genders do. The protagonist “Otis” is pictured here.
We can understand why they might not want to equip the bulls with their actual equipment, but why transgender them? Why not just do a Barbie and Ken-like omission on the bulls?
We don’t expect a kid’s film like this to be educational, just not disinformational.
Let’s stop feeding the fire. There are too many people out there trying to milk a bull as it is. No wonder they are turning purple.
