Animal Farm is Andy Serkis’s animated adaptation of George Orwell’s timeless fable, retelling the famous rebellion of farm animals who rise up against their neglectful human farmer. Inspired by the wise old boar’s dream of freedom and equality, the animals drive out their master and set about building a fairer society where every creature shares in the harvest and no animal rules over another.

At first the farm flourishes, and the animals govern themselves with hope, humour and a famous set of commandments painted proudly on the barn wall. But two clever pigs, the commanding Napoleon and the persuasive Snowball, soon begin wrestling for control of the revolution, and their rivalry pulls the whole farm into debates, alliances and quiet changes that not every animal notices in time. Hardworking horses, a cynical donkey and the farm’s many smaller animals each react differently as speeches grow grander and promises grow harder to recognise, giving the story emotional weight alongside its famous political bite.

Seth Rogen and Gaten Matarazzo lead an outstanding voice cast featuring Glenn Close, Woody Harrelson and Steve Buscemi, who bring warmth and wit to horses, donkeys, hens and sheep caught up in events bigger than themselves. Serkis balances playful comedy for younger viewers with the sharper satire adults will recognise, using expressive animation to make the barn feel like a complete little world.

Funny, moving and strikingly timely, Animal Farm invites families to talk about power, fairness and the stories leaders tell. As slogans shift and rules quietly change, the animals must decide what their hard-won freedom really means, in a retelling that honours Orwell’s classic while making it fresh, accessible and entertaining for a whole new generation.
