Animal Farm Animated Fails to Capture Orwell's Warning | Edinburgh News

Andy Serkis directs a surprisingly cynical animated retelling of Animal Farm, starring Seth Rogen as the power-hungry Napoleon and Gaten Matarazzo as the naive protagonist Lucky, with Glenn Close and Woody Harrelson lending their voices. While marketed as a kid-friendly satire on consumerism, the film’s tone feels mismatched — blending dark political themes with slapstick gags that miss the original’s chilling warning about power corrupting from within. Instead, it leans into external manipulation, sidelining Orwell’s core message. The result? A visually slick but emotionally hollow adaptation that feels like a missed opportunity to honor the classic’s enduring relevance.
