Hero Overview

Remember me? I'm Ben's kid.
~ Otis to Dag.
Oh, Milk Me!
~ Otis's catchphrase.

Otis is the main protagonist of Nickelodeon’s Barnyard franchise. He is Pip's best friend, Daisy's husband, Lil' Ben's adoptive father, Abby's boyfriend and Ben's adoptive son.

He is voiced by Kevin James in the film and its video game (who also voiced Frankenstein in Hotel Transylvania Series, and also played Paul Blart in Paul Blart Mall Cop Series) and Chris Hardwick in the TV series. (who also voiced Craig in Sanjay and Craig)

Appearance[]

Otis is a white cow with black spots, blue eyes, a light pink snout and lips, and udders (despite being a male).

Once, after getting milked by a milking machine, he became extremely skinny because his body was drained of all its milk content.

Otis' pink udder is a prominent feature of his large body, It is round and quite fat and has four nipples that milk can be squeezed out of.

Personality[]

Otis is an optimistic cow who knows how to work guitars, cell phones, and microphones. He is glad to face his fears to save his friends, but when it comes to money, Otis is usually selfish and keeps it all to himself, but truly has a sweet side and a bovine heart of gold.

In the film, Otis has a truly rebellious nature with his father Ben and ignores him when he orders him to grow up since he'll become the new leader someday.

After Ben gets killed by Dag and his coyote henchmen, Otis is a bit depressed and is elected the new leader, despite blaming himself for Ben's death. He then decides to leave the farm because he cannot fit in with being a leader and that he will be unable to stop Dag and the coyotes from taking more animals from the barn.

Towards the end of the film, Otis avenges his dad's death by defeating Dag in his junkyard, rescues the kidnapped chickens, and accepts his promise to protect the Barnyard from danger.

In the TV series, Otis becomes much more reckless in his leadership position. For the majority of the episodes, it's usually his wild antics, desire for money or material goods, and general carefree nature that puts his friends and barnyard in various situations. Some of these situations even lead to the grave endangerment of said friends and barnyard. Despite this, Otis still cares deeply for everyone's wellbeing and always manages to devise some scheme to return everything to normalcy. Otis also maintains his fun-loving personality from the movie from his love of pranks to taking the gang on hair-raising adventures.
