The animals have had enough. Derived from George Orwell’s incendiary 1945 novella of the same name comes a reimagined cautionary tale—one in animated form. The final trailer for Andy Serkis’ Animal Farm shows a legion of farm animals as they fight back against a corrupt hierarchy.
The Animal Farm trailer begins with what I can only imagine to be every farm animal’s worst nightmare: a trip to the slaughterhouse. After busting free from the truck, the animals set out to build a new world. A better one. They work together to create a new society in which “every animal is equal.” That dream is short-lived. The farm descends into a dictatorship as the pigs climb for power and leadership. “Every animal is equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” The only way to take power back is by inciting a revolution. Gaten Matarazzo voices Lucky, the pig responsible for leading that revolution.
Orwell’s original 1945 novella, which I’m sure most of us were required to read sometime during school, is a powerful political commentary on the dangers of communism. From director Andy Serkis, that tale is reshaped to fit today’s climate and reach a younger audience. Honestly, we’re still not sure exactly what to make of it. The first Animal Farm trailer was met with a heap of mixed reviews, though the second may have won a couple of points back. Regardless, the animated retelling does boast a pretty remarkable cast. Seth Rogen is the pig famously known as Napoleon. Joining him is Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Laverne Cox, Kieran Culkin, Woody Harrelson, Jim Parsons and Andy Serkis.
The official synopsis for the movie is as follows: “A satirical allegory of revolution and power. Animal Farm traces how a movement for equality is systematically corrupted. As the pigs consolidate control, truth is erased, dissent is crushed, and the farm descends into a ruthless dictatorship—fulfilling Orwell’s warning about the dangers of communism.”
Who would’ve imagined 2026 would be the year we would get an animated feature film of Animal Farm—one targeted toward kids, nonetheless. I still find it very interesting, but I guess we won’t really know until we see it. The story received an animated version once before in 1954. Nearly 75 years later, the message rings just as powerful as ever. If you want to pick up the book in preparation for the movie, you can do so here.
Animal Farm rolls into theaters on May 1, 2026.
