ANIMAL FARM adapts George Orwell’s classic satirical allegorical fable about a revolution on a farm, where the animals rebel, drive away all humans, and attempt to govern the farm themselves. However, the dream of equality gradually turns into ruthless tyranny.
This animated film offers a new and contemporary retelling of George Orwell’s famous novella as a visually striking allegory about power, corruption, and the betrayal of ideals. Director and actor Andy Serkis transforms the classic fable into an adventurous story that combines satire, humor, and an unsettlingly relevant social commentary. Rather than aiming for a literal adaptation of Orwell’s original work, Serkis seeks to bring its themes into the modern world. Alongside the themes of revolution and totalitarian power, the film also highlights the manipulation of public opinion, the fragility of democracy, and the urgent need to defend truth from those who seek to control it.
