    There's a bit too much farmyard humour in this rather dull wartime cartoon. We head to the outdoors where the locals are maximising their efforts for the war - one cow even produced 5,000 quarts of milk! A woodpecker destined to be a riveter at Lockheed - assuming he doesn't fall foul of a cat first. The turkeys are all well fed - though with the oven looming at 20lbs, they quickly discover the delights of a diet! Turtle eggs. Might they be used for the military too? A jeep? You get the drift. Just about ever critter has a role to play for victory, and I'm sure it did it's job cheering the folks in the drive-in on a Saturday night who also just prayed for a "convenient" black-out, too! It's OK, but I"m, with the caterpillars.

Barnyard

Otis is a mischievous, carefree Holstein cow who lives on a farm where, unbeknownst to humans, the animals are anthropomorphic. He prefers having fun with his best friends: Pip the mouse, Freddy the ferret, Peck the rooster, and Pig the pig - rather than following strict rules and accepting responsibility. This annoys his stern adoptive father Ben, the leader of the farm's community. One evening, Otis convinces Ben to cover his night watch so he can attend a massive party in the barn and impress Daisy, a pregnant cow who recently arrived at the farm with her best friend Bessy as a newcomer. As the animals party, Dag the coyote and his pack attempt to raid the chicken coop. Ben fends them off alone but is fatally wounded and killed. Otis must now learn the value of responsibility when he becomes the leader of his farm home's community.
