Downloaded another movie for the kids on the 360 this week, this time the family movie Barnyard.

It has an unusual style to it all – more of a claymation look as opposed to the typical slick and glossy computer-generated fare. The story is fairly basic – it is the journey of a party-loving calf who won’t grow up who loses his dad and has to become a man. Honestly, a few minutes in I didn’t think it would capture me in any way, as it’s clearly a cut below the big gun. But still, I enjoyed it to the end and it’s a safe, fun family movie the kids loved.
