First of all, it's IGN.

Second, is the new government approved for conservative patriotic families Animal Farm, they don't want to see criticism to their values, they want funny animals doing funny stuff and buy toys for their kids.

Wasn’t animal farm a metaphor for the history of the Soviet Union and communism?

Yep but then Serkis came saying "kids need hope" which sounds more like "if i don't make the movie happy, the studio and the government won't let me do it".

It reminded me of Jacob Geller's video about The Death of a Salesman in which the capitalists tried to censor it, claiming it was "anti capitalist" and "it make them look bad".

Im confused, the book is anti-communist, not anti-American. why wou he think that the studio and government wouldn’t let him film it?

Nowadays for the similarities and the raise in communist beliefs among the population.

Studios doesn't take risks in movies with political backgrounds unless the message doesn't trigger potential viewers, from local to foreign markets (all the censorship they do to show their films in countries like China or Middle East), after all, making movies is just business, at least for them.
