Nolte: Anti-Capitalist ‘Animal Farm’ Bombs, ‘Michael’ Still Defying Woke Critics
Breitbart ^ | May 04, 2026 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/04/2026 8:53:16 AM PDT by Red Badger

Director Andy Serkis took the anti-communist classic Animal Farm and turned it into an anti-capitalist children’s movie complete with fart jokes. The result? Well, God bless America, it was humiliated at the box office with a catastrophic $3.4 million debut weekend, even though it opened on 2,600 screens.

Woke fails again.

Not even an all-star voice cast could save it. Seth Rogen, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson, and Kathleen Turner all contributed to this $35 million humiliation, and that doesn’t include promotion costs.

Serkis attended the Animal Farm premiere, attacking President Trump with a red hat that read, “Make Animal Farm Fiction Again.”

How about a hat that reads, “Make Animal Farm Animal Farm Again?”

Leftists cannot create anything. All they can do, whether it’s Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or Animal Farm, is deconstruct and destroy greatness. The result is always something less, if not total garbage — even those who went to see Animal Farm hated it with a C- Cinemascore.

Bialystok & Bloom would envy that kind of flop.

Too funny. As you probably know there is a Michael Jackson bio pic that just came out that stops before his child sex scandals. Why not OJ?

I have watched all the documentaries and mini series about the OJ murders. There’s a lot of them. The big takeaways for me was that OJ really hated Buffalo and that he didn’t want to be identified as a black. Civil rights leaders were mad at him because he didn’t lend his name to black causes. It is ironic that OJ was acquitted because of the Rodney King LA riots.

OJ was the whitest black guy in America.

Kind of strange, isn’t it? They gave “Animal Farm” the “1984” treatment.

Regietheater. Just as Heather MacDonald understood 20 years ago about live theater.
