Back at the Barnyard: The Big Barnyard Broadcast
Overview
After Mrs. Beady videotapes Otis and the gang walking and talking, she calls a news station to prove she isn't crazy with proof from the tape. The animals don't like it at all, though. Now, they try to interrupt the broadcast to not let any person see their everyday anthropomorphic behavior (and fulfill their dreams of becoming famous television stars). But it backfired, when the cameraman got a call from the network saying they're not on the air, leading the news station to change the animals' tv show back to the broadcast. So now the animals must now steal the tape to keep anyone from seeing their antics.
