That trailer's a fucking trip - I went from mortification to clapping at how shit it is. All I can gleam from it is that Nicholas Stoller apparently had an idea for a Chicken Run-style children's film which was largely inspired by Animal Farm, then was told by a bean counter that the two were sufficiently similar that he may as well claim it's an adaptation of Animal Farm.

I'd say this picture appears perfectly suited and formulated for the slop troughs frequented by the billions of fiends who earnestly believe that clicking "like" on a website is their only outlet for political participation. Now I want to see someone use prompts to generate an AI slop parody trailer for Watership Down in this style that credits Hunter Schafer as voicing a "gender-swapped" Hazel.

Some of the comments are funny:

Of course, there is also plenty of unironic sperging about communism in the comments section of this turd.

That last part is beautiful in a way, they managed to piss EVERYONE off lol
 
I feel like I say this every single time I see a movie trailer now, but "who is this for?"

If I grant them "children under 12", fine, but why not just try to create a new IP with a bunch of funny animals? Is there going to be an Animal Farm 2: Electric Boogaloo? Is the name "Animal Farm" going to generate any additional ticket sales, even in a "controversy creates cash" kind of way?

What am I missing here? I can't even say "money laundering", because again, why not just create a new generic IP with funny animals?

Making the 1999 movie staring Frasier, Elaine, and Captain Picard looking worthy of the Criterion Collection

They just had to soften the ending, of course, but there's some really good stuff in the Hallmark film. The voice acting is compelling, especially Patrick Stewart and Ian Holm. Some of the songs are well worked for the screen. The production design is attractive. The reveal of Napoleon walking on his hind legs is memorably bizarre and dramatic. If only they'd stuck with the book ending (and maybe removed the peculiar scene in which Farmer Jones cucks Farmer Pilkington) it could have been a small classic.
 
Unfortunately, this is exactly what I expected it to be when I first heard about it.
 
ooh ooh, also, to make it suck more they can make some dumb origin story for the "Animal Farm" name like Han Solo

"Some animals are more bussin than others." Said Napoleon.
 
Why are people letting Andy Serkis direct? He's only good at one thing: being a motion capture actor. This seems to be an textbook example of the Peter Principle.
