Bursting with humour, memorable characters and impressive animation, this engaging children’s animated adventure comedy offers an accessible and fresh new take on George Orwell’s timeless classic for young and old alike.
The story follows a group of farm animals who rise up against their neglectful human owner in the hope of creating a fairer, happier society. However, as new leaders emerge, the dream of equality is challenged by ambition, power and deception, leading the younger animals to discover the importance of courage, honesty and standing up for what is right. Featuring vibrant CGI animation, lively humour and exciting action sequences, the film balances adventure with meaningful themes of friendship, leadership, fairness, teamwork and freedom.
The voice cast are all excellent and bring the characters to life. Seth Rogen, who starred in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023), leads the cast alongside Woody Harrelson from The Hunger Games (2012) and Glenn Close, acclaimed for Fatal Attraction (1987) to name but a few of the stars involved. The talented ensemble has been widely praised, with many viewers also appreciating the film’s accessible family-friendly approach, eye-catching visuals and its modern introduction to Orwell’s enduring story for younger audiences. It is an enjoyable, conversation-starting adventure that families can experience together.
If you enjoyed Chicken Run (2000) and Zootopia (2016) you are likely to enjoy Animal Farm.
