It’s a bad movie, my friends. It’s boring, the animation is primitive and ugly, everything that made Orwell’s book powerful was removed. Orwell wrote an anti-Stalinist novel but this rendering turned into a confused, weak-sauce series of vignettes with no organizing idea.
It’s Animal Farm for 3-year-olds with a dramatically dumbed down plot and not a flash of originality or anything that would make you think about anything. Slop, pure and simple. It’s all fart jokes and soppy sentimentality.
I announced to Klara that Orwell was a great writer who wrote real literature, so thank you, creators of the movie, for downgrading the concept of real literature like this.
