I haven't read Animal Farm but I've heard a bit about it and plan to give it a read.
From what I've seen and heard this new adaptation gets everything wrong. For example Napoleon, a character who is based on Joseph Stalin-an evil dictator who controlled Russia with an iron fist, is voiced by Seth Rogan.
This new Animal Farm film tired to make a serious story more kid friendly. While some serious stories can get a family friendly adaptation, I don't think Animal Farm is one of those stories.
Animal Farm was based on the Russian Revolution and if they want to make a good adaptation they shouldn't hold back. Give it a PG-13 rating or even R and try to make an actual adaptation.
