description: Audrey is a cow with poetry in her blood who yearns for the greener pastures beyond Bittersweet Farms. But when Roy the horse tells this bovine dreamer that she is headed for Abbot's War the slaughter house Audrey knows that she must leave her home and friends sooner than she ever imagined. With the help of a whole crew of animals and humans alike Audrey attempts to escape the farm she lives on--and certain death. Cleverly written as an oral account this unique illustrated tale of an animal on the run told to camera uses over thirty narrative voices including six humans four cows three sheep two sheep dogs one pig and a very silly rooster. Full of heart and humor Audrey (cow) is ultimately a very human story about life and death friendship and holding on to one's dreams--based more or less on a true story.
