‘Animal Farm’ Review: Andy Serkis Directs Seth Rogen And All-Star Voice Cast In Clever And Chilling Take On Orwell’s Classic Novella – Annecy Animation Festival
A review of 'Animal Farm', a new version of the classic George Orwell Allegory about Animals taking over humans jobs. Directed by Andy Serkis .
Along the way there are others like the free thinking Carl The Sheep ( Jim Parsons), cranky Benjamin (Kathleen Turner), squirrely Squealer ( Kieran Culkin), and more including Boxer (beautifully voiced by Woody Harrelson) the dedicated hard working and morally upstanding horse who heartbreakingly will ultimately become a victim of this new pig-led government. The score by Brazilian composer Hector Pererira is right on point and the use of the Propellerheads and Shirley Bassey’s collaboration on “History Repeating” is a not-so-subtle comment , but perfectly-used song to reinforce what sadly happens as this animal brigade replaces the farm’s previous human operation and start falling into the same traps. Cast: Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Laverne Cox, Iman Vellani, Kieran Culkin, Jim Parsons, Woody Harrelson, Steve Buscemi, Glenn Close, Andy Serkis, Kathleen Turner
