BARNYARD
Paramount Pictures Presents
In Association with Nickelodeon Movies
An O Entertainment Production
A Steve Oedekerk Film
Animation Production by Omation Animation Studios
Executive Producer Julia Pistor
Produced by Paul Marshal Steve Oedekerk
Written and Directed by Steve Oedekerk
Cast: Kevin James, Courteney Cox, Sam Elliott, Danny Glover, Andie MacDowell, Wanda Sykes
Synopsis: From Steve Oedekerk and Nickelodeon Movies, two of the co-creators of “Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius,” and filmed entirely in CGI, comes this hilarious look at what really
happens in a barnyard when the farmer’s back is turned. “Barnyard” is a lighthearted tale centering around Otis (voiced by Kevin James), a carefree party cow, who enjoys singing, dancing and playing tricks on humans. Unlike his
father Ben (voiced by Sam Elliott), the respected patriarch of the farm, and Miles, the wise old mule (voiced by Danny Glover), Otis is unconcerned about keeping the animals’ humanlike talents a secret. But when suddenly put in the position of
responsibility, the “udderly” irresponsible cow finds the courage to be a leader.
Notes: Steve Oedekerk is best known for writing credits on such films as “The Nutty Professor” and “Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls,” the latter of which he also directed.
Nickelodeon Movies has produced a number of hit films, the latest of which is “The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie,” featuring the celebrity voices of Alec Baldwin, Scarlett Johansson and Jeffrey
Tambor.
Release: October 6, 2006

BABEL
Cast : Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal, Koji Yakusho, Elle Fanning
Synopsis: Armed with a Winchester rifle, two Morrocan boys set out to look after their family's herd of goats. In the silent echoes of the desert, they decide to test the rifle… but the bullet goes farther than they thought it
would. In an instant, the lives of four separate groups of strangers on three different continents collide. Caught up in the rising tide of an accident that escalates beyond anyone's
control are a vacationing American couple (Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett), a rebellious deaf Japanese teenager and her father, and a Mexican nanny who, without permission, takes two American children across the border. None of these strangers will ever
meet; in spite of the sudden, unlikely connection between them, they will all remain isolated due to their own inability to communicate meaningfully with anyone around them.
From Alejandro González Iñárritu comes a film that is at once intimate and epic, shot in four countries, cast with actors and non-actors, and concludes his trilogy that started with
“Amores Perros” and “21 Grams.”
Release : Fall 2006
