Spoilers ahead
Otis is an adventurous and playful Holstein cow living on a farm where the animals possess human-like qualities unbeknownst to their human caretakers. He enjoys every moment spent with his closest companions, including Pip the mouse, Freddy the ferret, Peck the rooster, and Pig the pig, all while resisting the weight of responsibilities and rules that govern their lives. This carefree attitude, however, frustrates his strict adoptive father, Ben, the authoritative leader of the farm’s dynamic.
