Animal Farm Goes Cute and Safe in Serkis’s Animated Reimagining

The Hollywood Reporter’s Frank Scheck critiques Andy Serkis’s new animated adaptation of Animal Farm as a bland, family‑friendly retelling that forgoes Orwell’s anti‑Stalinist themes in favor of cute CGI hijinks and a pop‑music soundtrack. While it retains the basic fable structure and features a strong voice cast (including Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Glenn Close, and others), the film sacrifices political depth for kid‑friendly plotting, resulting in a visually uninspired but competently voiced movie that still offers some end‑credit charm.
