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.

Serkis’ attempt to update this story isn’t a scourge on animation or children’s media; it’s simply not as observant and symbolic as it should be.

1/4

George Orwell’s dystopian satire of aggression in the form of anthropomorphic farm animals becomes a cutsey, cardboard kiddie cartoon of staggering ineptitude and an endurance test for audiences of all ages.

One weird sundae, and not, I suspect, many filmgoers’ idea of a good time.

A confused and softened retelling that never fully commits to the weight of its own story nor the intelligence of its audience.

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.

I read the book as a kid and loved the movie!! Took our kids to see it and it was a nice change of message for kids. I truly hope this movie does well in the theatres.

I loved the characters. It was a clean funny movie. It had a great story line and life lesson. Very Republican. Loved it! It represented a political view of what happens when people let the government take over and everything gets bad. But then they realize the difference between good and evil and they regret their decision.

Just awful on every level - nothing like the book, inane dialog, fart jokes (really??? Grow up), muddled storyline - it was so so awful. Should have cut our losses and walked out after the first five minutes. Not clever. Not charming. Not a single redeeming trait for audiences of any age. Go get a root canal instead - youll hate it, but at least youll have known what you were getting into.
