60 of 236 · most liked firstIncreasingly, Serkis makes me feel like he’s making this movie for the toxic bros. Pro-AI, all-white cast, ignoring Tolkien’s real words for the vibes-based mythologizing of him; all shit toxic bros love. He also made the Animal Farm movie that completely missed the books anti-authoritarian point.
negative · AI labelView post →I just read that the new Animal Farm film has a hopeful ending, with a final message saying that the oppressors will fail and downtrodden people's time will come. ☺️ I look forward to future works such as Lord of the Flies: The School Picnic.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reminder that Angel films is a far right Christian Nationalist film company and that the film rights to Animal Farm are owned by the fucking CIA
neutral · AI labelView post →That trailer for the new Animal Farm film brought to mind this banger of a tweet
neutral · AI labelView post →Animal Farm made me want to take myself to the glue factory. I couldn't bear writing about the whole movie, so please enjoy me writing about the opening credits, which are set to an original barnyard-themed rap: www.avclub.com/animal-farm-...
negative · AI labelView post →Serkis just made a *very* weird Animal Farm animated film distributed by Angel Studios, a Utah-based Christian film company so, like, yeah this checks out.
neutral · AI labelView post →This looks like a movie based on a book report by some kid who didn't actually read Animal Farm.
negative · AI labelView post →Hearing alot of people complaining about that new Animal Farm cartoon. “Oh it misses the point” “oh it looks bad” “oh what of the themes?” they say, sorry it’s a movie about talking animals it can’t have a point. If they wanted to make a serious move it should have been a cartoon about accountants.

neutral · AI labelView post →Movie exec: This isn’t your Grandpa’s Animal Farm. We’re gonna have some fun here to help a new generation learn Orwell’s key message that talking pigs are evil
neutral · AI labelView post →the most disturbing thing about the new Animal Farm animated film is all the pigs talking in US accents
negative · AI labelView post →Animal Farm has a movie. And it's bad. But the way it's bad illustrates a greater problem in the film industry: why can't we make decent adaptations of troubling, challenging books anymore?
negative · AI labelView post →I'm now fully convinced that the (presumably hellish) experience of working on Animal Farm is what inspired Seth Rogen and Nicholas Stoller to do The Studio's Kool-Aid movie bit
neutral · AI labelView post →I usually don't talk about film trailers I don't like, but I'm honestly stunned at how bad this new Animal Farm film looks. It seems like this film really is going to completely miss the point about Orwell's original novel. Like wow. This looks absurd.
negative · AI labelView post →I didn't think anything could beat Melania for the worst film of 2026, but Angel Studios Animal Farm is a compelling case. Genuinely one of the worst adaptations put to screen. Ever. Of anything. Anyway, I saw it in theaters. Come suffer with me. youtu.be/GvQ4OHgV9ko
negative · AI labelView post →It's haunting that the Seth Rogan Animal Farm movie will be some kids' first introduction to the work.
negative · AI labelView post →“How can we make Animal Farm into a kids movie?” That’s a pretty good question! You don’t.
negative · AI labelView post →A new look at Animal Farm directed by Andy Serkis has been released. The film will star Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons, Kathleen Turner among others and has Nicholas Stoller writing. I'm intrigued.
neutral · AI labelView post →The end credits for Animal Farm literally ask you what you thought of the movie and shows two QR codes, one for the "correct" answer and one for the "wrong" answer. I don't like to cheer for movies to flop, but this movie is the only exception I'll make.
negative · AI labelView post →Maybe he’s just sad because of the anniversary of his fellow paranoid dictator’s death. After all, most of them end up in a similar fashion — not playing cards like Napoleon did in Animal Farm. Anyway, here’s a movie suggestion for cheering up👇
neutral · AI labelView post →Animal Farm director Andy Serkis's next animated feature film is an adaptation of Blood Meridian (Source: tinyurl.com/mr2pvbew)
neutral · AI labelView post →Like, just make another film. That's absolutely no longer an adaptation of Animal Farm.
negative · AI labelView post →The trailer for the new Animal Farm movie is an abomination, but I do see great posting potential for this image
negative · AI labelView post →Tired: This movie looks bad Wired: Any adaptation of Animal Farm is inherently bad because its obvious capitalist and anticommunist propaganda.
negative · AI labelView post →It would be hilarious if that new Animal Farm movie coming out inspires anybody to read the original book. Like the literary equivalent of being punched in the face.
negative · AI labelView post →Does anyone remember Gotti (2018). The movie that singlehandedly killed MoviePass. This is what caused it to happen. Animal Farm (2026) is now repeating history by insulting the critics.
negative · AI labelView post →I actually don't think the substance of his Animal Farm is that problematic (though it's not a good movie!) but the decision to go to Angel to distribute it after Netflix dropped it is increasingly concerning.
neutral · AI labelView post →.... This looks like 'Illumination Animation Does Animal Farm'... This looks like a parody animal farm movie from another movie... How "Cute" are they going to make ANIMAL FARM?
negative · AI labelView post →So this Animal Farm movie looks like a wholesome kids film.
negative · AI labelView post →This cast list for the new ANIMAL FARM film makes me hope that Woody Harrelson is just playing himself in it for no apparent reason.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just learned that the message in that terrible Animal Farm movie is "We should all just be nice to each other". The cautionary tale about authoritarianism heavily influenced by the Russian Revolution twisted into a moral you'd see from Barney the Dinosaur. We need to ban Andy Serkis from movies.
negative · AI labelView post →I saw Animal Farm two months ago, and wrote my review, and have been keeping it on file for when the film comes out in another six months, and you're all making it very tempting just to run it now.
neutral · AI labelView post →With the trailer for the newer Animal Farm film, Im reminding myself of at least four movies that were based on adult novels and were made more family friendly yet still managed to be very well made even keeping some of the originals’ darker aspects.
neutral · AI labelView post →The only thing Lesbian Space Princess is guilty of is being a forgettable animated movie that looks like it was made by a bunch of people who just graduated from art school. There are also much worse animated films out there *looks at Animal Farm 2026*.
negative · AI labelView post →I would argue that Animal Farm shouldn't be a kids movie in the first place...I've read the book...it's....uh. .not kid friendly
neutral · AI labelView post →Now hold on: he didn't direct a weird Animal Farm cartoon *for* a Christian film company. He directed a weird Animal Farm cartoon that was so bad Netflix sold it off *to* a Christian film company.
negative · AI labelView post →The new Animal Farm animated movie looks atrocious and misses the mark so much from the trailer ALONE, Orwell is spinning in his grave.
negative · AI labelView post →>making an animated movie adaptation of Animal Farm >marketing it towards kids >the production company is Angel Studios they were asking for failure
negative · AI labelView post →The director of the ATROCIOUS Animal Farm film said, quote, "we've not been overtly political about it". THEN WHY DID YOU MAKE AN ADAPTATION OF FUCKING ANIMAL FARM!? I can't. My brain is fucking reducing. I just fucking can't.
negative · AI labelView post →I thought the horse in that hilarious Animal Farm movie was hilarious.
positive · AI labelView post →this is downright malicious. there is no way the goal isn't to pervert and defuse the meaning of the book. no sane person would think about making an Animal Farm kids movie otherwise.
negative · AI labelView post →The Andy Serkis Animal Farm movie feels like if you tried to pretend The Emoji Movie was highbrow
negative · AI labelView post →Books to Films 📚=🎞️ Animal Farm (1945) by George Orwell was adapted to film in 1954, '99 & 2025. Only the '99 film is live while the others are animated. The films tend to lessen the satire (a critique of totalitarianism & capitalism) as the '54 film was funded by the CIA. 🐷🚜✊ #filmsky #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →Really hoping the new Animal Farm movie is a success. Maybe then a studio will option my screenplay for a Darkness at Noon adaptation where Rubashov is a sassy CGI badger.
positive · AI labelView post →I was SO sure the trailer for the Animal Farm film was a Saturday Night Live parody. It missed the point by so much I thought it HAD to be on purpose.
negative · AI labelView post →Movie: Animal Farm (2026) Language: Slovak
neutral · AI labelView post →Andy Serkis Presents Animal Farm The Movie The Videogame (now on gamecube and ps2)
neutral · AI labelView post →i don’t think everyone needs to like every film but the way people refuse to even take the Animal Farm (2025) movie seriously in any capacity feels so performative in a way no other movie has ever been treated, very odd to me
neutral · AI labelView post →Genuinely the weirdest trailer I've ever seen. It's tone is like a Wes Anderson feel good comedy movie but it is still Animal Farm and the totalitarian hints are still unsubtle?
neutral · AI labelView post →“Animal Farm, You’ll have the laughs of your life!” Animal Farm was the first animated feature film in the UK. Because of the political themes and violence, it was at first restricted to those over 18. It was also funded by the CIA. www.deceptology.com/2010-11/cart...
neutral · AI labelView post →you directed the Angel Studios Animal Farm movie my guy
negative · AI labelView post →Wired - The inability to reach a consensus on the actual message of the new Animal Farm movie reflects how little media literacy exists in our current information landscape. www.wired.com/story/maga-is-c...
neutral · AI labelView post →fortunately there is already a pretty good Animal Farm kids movie, it's called Toy Story 3
positive · AI labelView post →“I doubt you could even make a film like Animal Farm these days because of woke.” “A new version of Animal Farm came out this year, directed by Andy Serkis.” “Wait, Andy Serkis is directing porn now?”
neutral · AI labelView post →On the topic of the terrible Animal Farm film, idk if yall know but this comic, Animal Castle, is an amazing adaptation with gorgeous artwork and compelling characters. Please read this instead of watching that!
negative · AI labelView post →I mean he did curse us all with that new Animal Farm movie
negative · AI labelView post →oh hey look what just got uploaded to archive! ANML.FM -- a collaborative @aesnos.bsky.social project by 10 editors who remixed the animated film Animal Farm (1954) using only music from Animal Collective archive.org/details/anml...
neutral · AI labelView post →Animal Farm is not going to be a good movie but it will make a specific genre of guy who uploads 1.5 second long clips of animated film characters wiggling their butts to Youtube extremely happy
neutral · AI labelView post →I still can’t believe they made an animated family film version of George Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM.
neutral · AI labelView post →I hope no one goes to see that new Animal Farm movie holy shit that looks fucking dreadful
