Animal Farm... As a comedy? A kid friendly comedy?
Did I read a different book with the same name in high school or is this tone just really fucking wrong?

I don't think that Animal Farm should look like another Disney/Pixar/DreamWorks movie. This just doesn't have interesting style that's fit to the story.
Is that...Seth Rogen? Wtf? XD
This is gonna be a travesty.
Is this supposed to be Old Major (Marx/Lenin) and Snowball (Trotsky) in conversation, and Napoleon (Stalin) injecting himself?
I'm a bit sceptical for now. I don't remember this scene from the book, and I don't feel like I see the characters as I remember them here. I thought Old Major pretty much stuck with his principles until the end, and things turned to shit only after his death? Alternatively, if the adult pig in the trailer is Napoleon, are the piglets just random partisans who had no role in the book?
The film is directed by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, so that's interesting I guess.
Seth Rogen is playing Napoleon, the dad character in the scene.
But yeah, the tone doesn’t seem right based on that clip.
Thanks. I guess the piglets just represent random Bolsheviks sucking up to the Party leadership. Makes it look a bit like if Death of Stalin was set to Animal Farm.
