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

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

I hope I am wrong.

Tbh they should be doing Animal Pound, the recent updated retelling of Animal Farm in comic form. Was actually really good.

I am open to fully novel interpretation that stray away from the original. Just make it feel different and unique.

Stray hehe. It's good for sure, I hate remakes and recommend the comic!

Just looking at the visuals you can tell the tone is off. This is not a cutesy story with teacup pigs

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

Yeah, not sure we need to know about the dangers of communism while capitalism is tearing apart society, but we all know who finances these productions.

This... this doesn't counter my comment. An offpath of Stalinism is still within the scope of "dangers of communism".

My main point was that we don't need that movie right now anyway. We need a Captain Planet reboot or a new FernGully or a Lorax that isn't shilling SUVs.

So we don't even cast actual voice actors anymore?

i just listened to an audiobook version of this book & the cover art for it appeared to be ai generated so when i see this image i cant help but feel like its also ai generated.

So Seth Rogen is gonna be a pig who does his laugh all the time right?

As someone who absolutely adores the original animated film, I'm highly skeptical of this one already just by the fact they have to announce the "voice actors". I just found out about it and it's already on my "Do Not Watch" list.
