Animated 'Animal Farm' Disneyfied, Critics Roast

0:00On April 28th, a new animated animal farm hit theaters, may first from Angel Studios. It's a PG-rated take on George Orwell's classic satire, clocking in in 94 minutes with rude humor, action, and some violence. Directed by Andy Circus and written by Nicholas Stoller, this one's aimed straight at little kids, swapping dark allegory for bright cartoons and fart. Jokes. They've loaded it with modern vibes like iPhones, drones, sports cars, and maltrips, turning the farmer-bellion into a bouncy party. No grim executions here, just giggling piglets and pool bashes. The villain pig, now Napa Po, even farts to celebrate freedom, ditching the book's darkening tone for something like a kid's cartoon show. The voice cast pulls big names, with Seth Ragan voicing Napoleon, starting silly but hitting minutes later. Gateon, Moderato, plays plucky-lucky. Laverne Cox is rival Snowball, Woody Harrelson, the loyal horse boxer, and Glenn Close as a human foe with a quirky.

1:02Accent, stars like Kering Culkin and Steve Busimi, rounded out. Critics are torching in as a total disneyfication that wrecks the original's punch. The animals were bail for Utopia, miss a vunder pig rule, but wrap with a hopeful action-caper and happy ending, far from Orwell's warning on power. Tyranny, skip this if you want the real chill from the book, folks. It leaves you munching snacks, not rethinking society. Stay informed with Global News AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with The Story.
