Otis is the main protagonist of Nickelodeon’s Barnyard franchise.

He is a male bovine from a farm who often doesn't take things around him too seriously, preferring to just having fun instead, that is until Ben taught him about the matter of responsibility. He is also Ben's adoptive son Daisy's husband, Lil' Ben's biological father, Pip's best friend, and Abby's love interest.

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

Appearance

Otis is a black-and-white Holstein cow. He has 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, microphones, and cars. Instead of having strict, serious rules, he would spend time with his friends, mess around to have fun all he wants and not take everything seriously.

He enjoys hanging out and having fun with his best friends. He also likes to pull tricks on The Beadys, The Farmer and Snotty Boy.

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 can't 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 father's death by defeating Dag in his junkyard, rescues the kidnapped hens, 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.

Trivia

• Dan Castellaneta was considered for the role of Otis in Back at the Barnyard before Chris Hardwick was selected.
• Otis, alongside his adoptive father Ben and the other male bovines of the barn, have udders, which are only exclusive to female bovines in real life.
  • When considering this fact, they would've fully been depicted as bulls instead (as they are male bovines). They should have horns and no udders.
  • The reason why Otis, Ben, and all the other male bovines were designed with udders in the franchise is that Steve Oedekerk figured that city folk thought that all cows would look like this.
• He has a superhero alter-ego called Cowman, who has appeared in a few episodes and a television film.
