When I was younger I thought this movie was the greatest movie ever made, but now that I’ve grown up a bit, I know that it’s the greatest movie ever made.
The look in his eyes is so powerful when he decides not to kill the head coyote. He has to know he's a goner at this point, but he has a responsibility to keep the deaths to a minimum as a man of honor and conduct. And he accepts the responsibility of being the "minimum". This movie doesn't deserve this scene but without it it wouldn't exist so I am grateful for it in the end.
What did you mean? It's an offense for all those who have it a part of their childhood. Whit would be the day would found a comment who talks good about these moves!?
Okay comment story time: I was about 9 years old when this came out, and this scene... THIS SCENE was the first time I had seen a character in a movie *genuinely* sacrifice their life in such a dramatic way, and THIS SCENE made me understand what literal, physical, self-sacrifice was. And it landed so heavy in my child-mind, this version of the song is my actual favorite, if tied with the original Cash. It seems silly, but it's also amazing to me what becomes important to our developing minds.
I know right? For me as a kid this scene that really hammered home that lesson Ben tried giving "A strong man will stand up for himself, a stronger man will stand up for others" - Ben
Honestly, looking back now it's one of the most emotional scenes in an animated movie ever and It really comes out of nowhere in a movie like this. I then realized how much it stuck with me when I was younger after rewatching.
North Clan oh I know what it is I’ve been watching ,sailor moon ,naruto ,pokemon ,fairy tail ,dragon maid ,silent voice ,your name ,soul eater ,mr osomatsu san ,demon slayer ,land of the lustrous ,dororo, my hero academia ,etc. I was just wondering why they said the character was a anime character
It’s been years, I’ve seen this movie multiple times throughout my lifetime, and I just notice now that Deg is a character that metaphorical represents the devil. The red coat, evil attitude, and very intelligent and tactical way he acts should have probably given it away earlier. His laugh when one of the hens stood up to him still gives me shivers.
I do feel like the creators were trying to get that reaction out of the audience with Dag’s character. He has a very devilish appearance and every time he shows up, he’s bad news.
You're right, even his ears look almost like horns in some shots. As a kid I always thought the red fur was just a way to make him stand out from the other coyotes and establish him as the leader, but this makes so much more sense.
I remember a 12 year old me singing this song to myself when I was running the mile for school. When the pain was too much or when my lungs were begging for a break, I pushed on and never gave up. This song became my life motto back then and I never gave up in anything I did, no matter how hard it got. As life went on, I forgot about this song and I realize now that I became weak. As a 25 year old man whose lost most of his strength to mental illness and bad choices, I am so glad now that I came across this video again to remind me how strong I was. Thank you for reminding me of who I used to be and who I used to look up to...an animated cow named Ben.
Death to PG Even then they would change the word. For example, with dbz they changed the word hell with some other word which was HFIL. Home For Infinite Losers or some shit
Something I'd like to point out, 4:09 In this scene, Ben decides whether to put Dag down in that moment, and maintains eye contact the entire time. He's deciding for himself. When it is up to Otis to make that same decision, he hesitates as well, but now with emotional weight from the death of his father. He breaks eye contact, unlike Ben, and likely is in brief remembrance of an old story and lesson his father once told him. I'm willing to believe they put this detail intentionally, given how good this scene is shot.
I’ll never forget watching this as a kid. I could smell my childhood living room and my mom’s 50 cent vanilla candles. Wild how the smallest things of nostalgia can do that
I'll be completely honest here: The animation for this movie isn't exactly perfect, and the concept is a little weird... But I'll be damned if I didn't say that this movie had some stellar emotional moments and acting. It's definitely overlooked sometimes, but all in all, it was a pretty great movie.
I loved the uniqueness of it. It reminded me a little bit of Toy Story but this is with animals. So when humans are around they act normal, but when the humans are gone they do their own thing and act human like themselves.
This might have been one of the first times I ever saw a character die on-screen in a movie, the other being Simba's Dad. I didn't cry, but I just remember having this incredibly heavy feeling in my chest. The expressions and voice performances of the characters are absolutely perfect. Proof that even the silliest of kids' movies are capable of handling dark subject matter in a mature and impactful way.
It’s really interesting how in such a brain dead movie, this scene sticks out as genuinely one of the most gripping scenes from an animated film at the time. The song, with the honestly pretty great voice acting, as well as the grit and unwillingness to back down by Ben just makes this scene so well done, and the subtlety of his respect to not hurt him is really emotional. Like, I genuinely don’t understand how this scene is in Barnyard. Like how can this be from a movie like that!???
@@krismotley5216 stuck up people such as the op have probably seen citizen kane due to peer pressure and now believe they have the authority to belittle completely good and fun movies such as this one. It's interesting for sure
Jesus died and rose again to save you from hell, but you have to accept him as your savior first. These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) 🙂
The Way Dag says "You know me, Lady Killer," to Ben, with that Sadistic look on his face. It made me realize that there one of three possible meanings to that: One: Dag killed Ben's wife. Two: He killed Otis's birth mother. Three: Both 1 and 2. Honestly, I think the point of that line Dag said to get under Ben's skin, meant that somewhere in the past. Dag killed a female cow Ben was close to. you tell me what you think is the most likely answer.
The first 40 seconds of this scene always give me goosebumps. I wasnt old enough to fully understand it when I used to watch Barnyard as a kid but I definitely understand the meaning now and its pretty harsh on your feelings. Hits you in the gut.

Growing up is understanding that it was necessary for Ben to die. OTHERWISE Otis would never truly of known what Ben meant “a stong man stands up for himself, a stronger man stand up for others” RIP Ben
I watched this movie so much when I was a kid, and I thought it was the best movie ever made. Now that I’ve watched it again as an adult, I ask myself why younger me thought this movie was so good. At least I wasn’t wrong about this moment. Rest In Peace Ben, you won’t be forgotten.
Imagine a scene like this, but in a high budget film with human characters. The coyotes being gang members or something like that. This scene would be highly talked about and praised. This scene would be so nerve wracking and excellent in a real life situation. Like just think about it.
Sam Elliot has such an ethereal and powerful voice. His portrayal in Ben and voice just demands respect and nothing absolutely less. Hell just his voice alone is scary if he is pissed off.
My parents laughed when he pulled out the guitar and started singing Johnny Cash. Didn’t get it before but I do now. Ben has no business being as badass as he is
Actually there is a reason. The people who made it were literally going off of the "city person" stereotype and just assumed that the audience DIDN'T already know that bulls don't have udders. Thus all bovines in the movie have them even if they're bulls.
I still cry to this 😭 never forget a legend like Ben. My mom used to talk about how when I was younger I would cry everytime and rewatch that movie everyday. To this day I still see why I did that. RIP Ben ✊🏼 my first moral role model
This scene is crazy, like how is this in such a silly movie like Barnyard? Not only are the storyline, mood, emotions and voice acting amazing, but even the cinematography and camera work are too
Years gone by since I’ve seen this movie and it still impacts me the way it did to my 8-10 yr old brain, RIP Ben hope you’re still singing Cash in cartoon heaven
There was a never a more inspiring movie scene to see as a kid. I miss the days when entertainment wasn’t just entertainment, but actually taught kids life lessons. I think about this movie scene on a weekly basis and haven’t seen it in almost a decade. This is the kind of movie scene that inspired younger me to not hesitate to put your life on the line to save others, and I had dreams and promised God I’d join the United States military. Unfortunately over the years I’ve fallen short as I’ve payed closer attention to politics. Our military no longer fights for the American people but instead the American government in most cases. God bless the fallen heroes. May their sacrifices be forever remembered for the greatness they fought for. America as of now is on the quick decline and it’ll be a hellhole in no time. Tell your father you love him. Our world needs strong men like Ben.
I was randomly thinking about this scene at like 4am yesterday I go to my RU-vid recommended section today and I see this at the top....I DIDNT EVEN SAY IT OUT LOUD, these online algorithms scare me
Funny, growing up without a father I used to look up to fictional characters like Ben. Didn’t understand it then but now I realize when we’re kids we yearn for that role model to show us how to be honorable men, respected men, I remember crying when Ben died, and again years later when I heard that song again, guess it stuck with me.
Loved this movie, casting Sam Elliot as Ben was Such a Great Choice he brought so much power Courage & leadership & meaning to such a short but important role.
I sang this song to my grandma when I was 5 years old. She was shocked that I said hell. We laughed about it years later. Still one of the best memories of her that I have before she passed. Thank you Ben.
Bens response to dags mocking challenge is legendary, seeing him coldly and smoothly lifting the guitar and playing made me want to be like him... This was nickolodeon back in the day, made a fucking BULL my role model, that's good television
This movie aged well. A story about taking responsibility and living a life with meaning. Otis lived like a kid, wasting his time. His Dad modeled a life with purpose in service to others. That's being a Man.
Imagine checking the noise in ya barn and seeing ya cow standing upright staring down a group of coyotes(also standing upright) holding and playing a fucking guitar😭
