. . . getting stuffed--alive--into ovens, but that is precisely what the sick director of BARNYARD BABIES depicts the anthropomorphic rooster doing to his expectant spouse! Every time a parent or sibling nowadays "nukes" a young offspring in the family microwave, the Authorities lament "WHERE did this monster come up with such an Evil Idea??!" One does not need to blame "Old Scratch" for this pandemic of Easy Bake Babies. No, one need look no further than BARNYARD BABIES for the primary source material behind these unspeakable crimes. If the creators of BARNYARD BABIES are viewed as accomplices to this string of Murders in the Kitchen, how should law enforcement view a television network which insists upon periodically foisting off such corrupting filth upon an increasingly weak-minded and untrustworthy Public? Common Sense would suggest that after 84 years (or "four score, and four revolutions around the sun," by "Abe Lincoln's" reckoning) the damage being inflicted by BARNYARD BABIES would have long ceased. However, thanks to Big Cable, the hits keep on coming, on America's most Innocent and Defenseless population! Please join me in writing to Congress, in order to get BARNYARD BABIES permanently banned once and for all!!

In the barnyard
TheLittleSongbird9 August 2018
Love animation, it was a big part of my life as a child, particularly Disney, Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera, Studio Ghibli and Tom and Jerry, and still love it whether it's film, television or cartoons. With significantly broader knowledge of different directors, animation styles and studios, actually appreciate and love it even more now.
As has been said a few times already, 'Barnyard Babies' is fairly typical of Rudolf Ising, leaning towards the cute kind of cartoon with a lot of sentiment in alternative to the laugh a minute and hilarious kind, the latter being the one that a lot seem to prefer (understandably, though am hardly biased against the former). This approach has varied with Ising. In some instances it has been very sweet and charming, in others it can be cloying and too cutesy. Some fit in the former category, others in the latter category. Sadly, 'Barnyard Babies' is one of the latter category cartoons.
'Barnyard Babies' is not an unwatchable cartoon by all means. It may be underwhelming but there are redeeming values as well. Its best asset is the animation, it's vibrantly and atmospherically coloured and shaded, beautifully drawn and rich in meticulous background detail. The music from Scott Bradley is another big plus and actually the best thing about the cartoon, it's lushly orchestrated, full of charm and character and fits with the visuals beautifully.
There are a few cute and charming moments.
On the other hand, the characters are bland and very difficult to endear to, they may have cute exteriors but their antics can leave a bad taste in the mouth. The story is barely existent and there are times when it drags hard.
Most of 'Barnyard Babies' is too saccharine and cloying and some of the distasteful antics render it mostly charmless. Was not expecting a laugh a minute or hilarious cartoon, but 'Barnyard Babies' is completely humourless, with the parodies/caricatures being ones done to death in animation and much better, even the sporadic moments that should have amused a little.
In summation, underwhelming. 4/10 Bethany Cox
