Trivia

The "male" bovines having udders was explained in the October 2006 issue of Nickelodeon's official magazine, "Nick Magazine". In the letters page, one reader asked about the anatomically-incorrect cows(bovine) and whether or not it was intentional or not, and the magazine explained that the movie's director "thought it would be funny for the male cows(bulls) to have udders".

Cows are FEMALE
2 March 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

How can you make an entire movie about cows with male voices? It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have those utters swinging around down there. Even my 5 year old noticed within the first 5 minutes of the movie. I don't expect cartoons to be ultra-accurate or anything, but come on! There was a bull in the movie too! What do they think bulls are, a different species? Do they think there are girl-bulls out there? Obviously, I didn't think the rest of the movie was good enough to make up for this universal, disturbing flaw. The art direction was pretty good, unless the art director was involved with the choice on the transsexual bovines.
