This movie is a textbook case of a producer using a well-known classic title to try to draw in an audience while making the movie that he wanted to make, which had little to do with the classic title. Animal Farm is the latest example but it has happened over and over in the past decade. Its one of the reasons why Hollywood is swirling down the toilet. Angel Studios had been bucking that trend. With this movie, its done a lot of damage to its reputation that it built up over the past couple of years.

i’ve not seen it, but I think it would be hard to make a film on the book in any case

1. these are NOT disney animals - it should be like watership down

2. this is NOT a Children’s film - it is dark and what happens to the horse or the end when the pigs walk are pyschologically horrifying

3. such a film would NOT gain much of an audience

Worse than that. AFarm is the classic Uni book that used to be pointed to in order to illustrate the evil of communism — it was a ..... “satire” of Soviet Russia.

By this clown twisting the story about and making up lies about capitalism the book is deleted from the list of books condemning commie trash.
This is an attack on history. Like making Cleopatra black. Or, HelenofTroy.

I am still waiting for them to make “Little Women” with a cast of men.
