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.

An Animal Farm that’s a bit heavy-hooved. But if it gets your grandkids to read the book, let’s consider that a win for the two-legs.

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.

This "Animal Farm" is only the latest adaptation of Orwell’s work and gets credit for bringing a fresh approach to it. If you think it’s gone wrong, the book is still there to be discovered.

After tagging along with Animal Farm as it takes these bizarre swings, the finale was the moment I truly had to hop off the train.

Why does this movie exist? That’s the question hanging over Andy Serkis’ new animated Animal Farm, a project with a stacked cast, a timely source text, and every reason to land like a bombshell. Instead, it mostly lands with a perplexing shrug.

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.
