    For some reason, I get the feeling that this is going to be mediocre.

    IMO an Animal Farm adaptation needs to be different and based on the casting this seems more like a typical animated production.

    I hope I am wrong.

      your instincts are probably on because it seems they’re casting stars not voice actors

      Just looking at the visuals you can tell the tone is off. This is not a cutesy story with teacup pigs

    It’s a classic, but not exactly what the world needs right now. The Orwell adaptation he should have done is 1984.

      Yeah, not sure we need to know about the dangers of communism while capitalism is tearing apart society, but we all know who finances these productions.

    As someone who absolutely adores the original animated film, I’m highly skeptical of this one already just by the fact they have to announce the “voice actors”. I just found out about it and it’s already on my “Do Not Watch” list.
