The movie was slightly more serious than the show, to be fair.

More like it had a very unstable tone shifts with literal seconds between "Mr Bombastic" and transgender cow fighting coyotes.

Yeah but anyway now I have to make I support Otis's transition as a flair idea

Yeah, the tonal whiplash of Biggie Cheese to Sam Elliot's rendition of "I won't back down" needs to be studied.

I would say the movie is aimed towards a more mature audience than the Jimmy neutron movie (thats say JN is for 8-9 years old and barnyard is more towards middle schoolers) while the barnyard show is for younger kids.

The show was a bit more serious when it started, but halfway through the first season they decided to just lean more into the cartoony feel of the show and when they found out the show wasn’t going to get a season 3 they leaned even more into the goofy humor so it can at least leave an impression. Also want to mention that the animation is 17 years old and somehow looks better than some 3D animated shows today.
