By Rebecca Murray, About.com

Aug 25, 2004 - Kevin James will be joined by Danny Glover, Sam Elliott, and Wanda Sykes in the animated animal comedy, "Barnyard," from Nick Movies and Paramount Pictures. Former "Friends" star Courteney Cox will also be part of the ensemble group. "Barnyard" was written by, and will be produced and directed by, Steve Oedekerk.

Glover will voice the part of Miles, an older and wiser mule. Sam Elliott has signed on to play the respected father figure of the barnyard, Ben the cow, who also happens to be the father of Kevin James' character Otis. Comedian Sykes will lend her voice to the role of Bessy the cow, the best friend of Otis' love interest. Daisy - the love interest - will be voiced by Cox.

"Barnyard" - The Official Synopsis

Created by Oedekerk, "Barnyard" takes a hilarious look at what really happens in a barnyard when the farmer is away. Unbeknownst to us, farm animals can walk, talk and do just about anything humans do. Otis and his misfit friends enjoy playing tricks on humans, singing, dancing and partying.
