    For some reason, I get the feeling that this is going to be mediocre.

    IMO an Animal Farm adaptation needs be different and based on the casting this seems more like a typical animated production.

    I hope I am wrong.

        Getting banned by both American conservatives and the Soviets means you’re doing something right, but it was never supposed to be that deep. The only thing that surprises kids when they develop some critical thought is the realization that the pigs acting like humans doesn’t justify the existence of humans, it just means you need to make twice as much bacon.

    It’s a classic, but not exactly what the world needs right now. The Orwell adaptation he should have done is 1984.

      Hell yeah. Love to look to the anticommunist snitch for guidance during a time when increasingly unhinged fascists are coalescing worldwide and dragging us all into climate apocalypse and WW3

      Idk I think leave this guy in the past. He’s a relic of the Cold War. We don’t need that propaganda anymore. There’s so many other, better dystopian fiction books out there that haven’t received their “definitive” adaptations, plus other more interesting original concepts people can do. Besides, maybe what people really need right now is people believing a better world is possible rather than accepting a crap one.
