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.

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.

One weird sundae, and not, I suspect, many filmgoers’ idea of a good time.

However, if you can pretend you have never heard of Animal Farm before, it's a decent enough kids' film with great voice performances.

There are many flaws in Animal Farm, but its message is what I’m recommending the film for. Look, it will make great dinner conversation with your toddlers.

The CIA may have done a lot of horrible things, but they never financed a Seth Rogen movie.

Stupid plot. Apparently, made after anti-capitalism book. Idiotic portrayal of capitalism. Very inaccurate, misleading, and ridiculous. Good thing the kids just think its a silly show.

It seems the producers never decided on their audience. Is this a kids movie? (as evidenced by the gags aimed at 6 year olds), or the timeless cautionary fable by George Orwell. Should a dystopian tale like this have a happy ending? They lost the point in pursuit of disneyfication.

Even if they hadn’t completely destroyed the entire point of the story, this was horrible acting and mid animation at best.
