Dies und das:

In the scene where the farmer is knocked out, Otis gives him a copy of the book “Charlottes Web” - the next Nickelodeon Movie.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When Mr. Beady is asleep in his stuffed chair, he is shown holding a beer in his right hand. Also shown is a doily laying on the table next to him to his right. He wakes up in the next shot and immediately lifts up a six-pack of beer with his left hand from the floor next to him. The beer that was in his right hand has disappeared, and the doily is now on the arm of the chair and not on the table.

Dialogzitate:

Mrs. Beady: Randall, There is a cow outside.
Mr. Beady: This is a cow farm. You're gonna find cows outside.

The kids loved it, I loved it...

OK, forget all the complaints about the male cow thing, the udder thing, the ferret thing, and the Lion King plot thing. Lighten up; it's a cartoon, and unlike the Lion King, it does NOT take itself too seriously. This is strictly for laughs.

The music is top-notch (the sound track is great for car trips with the kids), the jokes and sight-gags come hard and fast (well-balanced for both kids and adults), the villains get beat, and the plot is straightforward (yes, it's the Lion King plot). When we rented it, my kids (4 and 8) watched it over and over again until we had to take it back. I didn't mind at all hearing it in the background all week and even rewatched some of the bits myself and laughed as hard as the first time I saw them.

Admittedly, much of the humor is a bit subversive and low-brow, with the joy riding hijinks, the drinking jokes (with milk, of course), and the mule-kicking. So, it might be a little country for some people. If you won't let your kids watch old Three Stooges shorts and you don't even know what mud surfing is, you may want to pull Lion King out to watch again, instead of this one.
