George Orwell’s "Animal Farm" is one of those classic stories that gets passed down to every generation to remind them about the inherent dangers of corruption and manipulation from government leaders. And, back in 2012, it was revealed that Andy Serkis would be helming his own version of the novella. Nearly 15 years later, his adaptation has been realized, and there are quite a few differences between it and its source material. He told us why one of those changes was vital.
This "Animal Farm" movie, which is now playing in theaters alongside other projects on the 2026 movie schedule, was made closely with George Orwell’s estate. During CinemaBlend’s conversation with Serkis, he told us why he felt one change was important to his film adaptation.
