"Animal Farm" (2026) Talkback

[Classic Speedy]

Didn't go to it myself, instead I watched the original movie on Tubi because I've never seen it before.

But no surprises, it sounds like it sucks:

 

[Frontier]

Yeah, I kind of didn't have a lot of faith after seeing the trailers.

 

[Scofisticated]

I am weary about giving money to Angel. Andy S is pretty cool. But the trailers didnt inspire confidence.

 

[Freddy]

I'm 100 % that it sucks, but I also think that we should be waaayyy past the point of posting a Doug Walker review as a persuasive argument.

I not going to talk about or review, heck, im not going to see it, this is a one big "no review, I refused" movie due to the studio who made this and I didnt wanted to be political

All Animal Farm adaptations are equal, but this adaptation is less equal than others.

I read the book in school, so I'm on board for watching this. It's classic literature. Orwell was a MASTER, gave us this and 1984.

I have watched the original 1954 film and I am very familiar with it. According to the Wiki article, it was a box-office failure. I have just heard that the recent Animal Farm movie got bad reviews. Why a cinematic adaptation of Orwell's Animal Farm can't reach the glory?

 

[Surreal Kangaroo]

TBH I still want to see it. I know it deviates from the book but I was still intrigued for some reason. I’m not sure if I will see it in theaters but I still want to give it a chance.

I have no desire of watching anything Angel Studios make, so this and the other animated shows they work on get a pass

 

[Scofisticated]

For accuracy, this was something Angel acquired. I dont think it was something they were involved with from the start. It was apparently in development for years before being acquired.

I actually saw this movie today. It’s not good but it’s also not terrible. Sure it deviates from the original story but I thought they did a decent job with updating the story for what is was. I think people are just exaggerating how bad it is. It’s more like generic kids movie bad rather than offensively horrible. Like yeah there’s slapstick and fart jokes, but it’s still a story about corruption.

Them calling alcohol "naughty juice" suddenly brings back memories of the Toonami edit of Tenchi where alcohol (sake in this case) was dubbed into "tea".
