Benjamin "Ben" is the overarching protagonist of Nickelodeon's 16th full-length animated feature film Barnyard and the posthumous overarching protagonist of the animated series, Back at the Barnyard. He was the adoptive father of Otis and the leader of the animals at the farm when the farmer was not around but would wish for Otis to mature and eventually succeed him.

He was voiced by Sam Elliott.

What Makes Him Pure Good?

• He protected the barn from threats for years.
• He adopted and raised Otis.
• During a meeting with the animals, he warns everyone about the coyotes and tells them to be careful.
• He persuaded Otis to take it easy on goofing-off and be a strong enough responsible leader and successor, even explaining to him that he won't be happy if he spends the rest of his life goofing off.
• He covers Otis' shift and lets him go to the Barn with his friends without hesitation, despite his request for him to be more mature.
• He lets Dag go after scaring him and his pack off the farm, despite Dag and his pack trying to kill him earlier.
• He sacrificed himself to save the hens from Dag and his coyotes.
• He is why Otis became who he is today.
• While he is a serious contrast to many other heroes and the comedic tone itself, he is nowhere near played negatively as a game changer as he is very compassionate, pacifistic and non-lethal as a protective leader of the barn with the defense towards the true game changer being Dag.
• Overall, he lacks many corrupting factors compared to many characters in the franchise, as most of them are very jerkish and even mischievous. Not to mention him being strict with Otis is very understandable because he tends to goof off most of the time rather than protecting the farm, even if he was just trying to have some fun.

Trivia

• He is the only Barnyard hero to be Pure Good, as all the other characters are too much of an idiot.
