Goofs:

Continuity: After the farmer has been knocked out and the animals attempt to make it appear as though a branch fell on him while reading against a tree, we see from the farmer's point-of-view that Otis places the book on the farmer spine-first with the open pages facing out. However, in the next shot the book is lying open on the farmer with the pages down and the spine facing away from him.

Quotes:

Otis the Cow: [Miles has kicked the farmer unconscious a third time] WILL YOU... STOP... DOING... THAT?
Miles the Mule: Well, unless you get him a blindfold, I'm gonna kick him!

Worst Cartoon

we watched this movie and my dad slept through it. I mean, there are a lot of factual errors. and for a kid's movie, it very inadvisable to watch this with children because, only girl cows have udders??? it's not a joke, it is a mistake and there is nothing funny or whatsoever in that? and, you want to see a literal "party animal?" CORNY!!!

First of all, it is really an ugly cartoon, and really corny to begin with. Plus, they are party animals, literally. the movie also shows the irresponsibility of the other cow and how irresistible drinking and partying is. Basically, that already includes shooting up drugs in other words. it is a good thing the fact of women aren;t there. and, as a parent, you would not want your child to see that part of the world even though that is basically reality. but the partying, the driving under influence, and stealing in the movie is influential material that could lead to more crooks in the world in the future.

A note to the people who think that this movie is nice.
