From visionary director Andy Serkis, and featuring the voices of Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Glenn Close, and Woody Harrelson, comes a satirical allegory of revolution and power. Animal Farm traces how a movement for equality is systematically corrupted. As the pigs consolidate control, truth is erased, dissent is crushed, and the farm descends into a ruthless dictatorship--fulfilling Orwell’s warning about the dangers of communism.

Critics Consensus

All Animal Farm adaptations are equal, but some Animal Farm adaptations are more watchable than others.

Audience Says

While some children may find joy in Animal Farm, Orwellian loyalists may scratch their heads wondering how this little piggy wondered so far from home.

I think the third act is a misstep, but what I don't think is that the first and second acts are missteps.

In the end, this is neither Orwell nor Disney, satire nor entertainment.

3/5

Animated with a bright sense of colour, texture and attitude, Andy Serkis and Nicholas Stoller adapt George Orwell's seminal 1945 allegory with perhaps more than the required amount of anthropomorphism.

The animation is at best mediocre, and there's a wincingly happy ending that even Disney might have shied from.

[B]y simplifying its authoritarian allegories into an easily digestible, family-friendly animation, director Andy Serkis’s Animal Farm strips away what made the source material work so well.

Ruins the story. The modernization was pointless. How can such a good story end up like this

The pigs who fought to keep the farm safe. We loved the piglet who kept her collar on. The movie was very good. Sad that their dislike of humans was reinforced.

Real life issues presented well for older kids. Not preachy, not too soft gloved, but no gore.
