“Our dream was becoming a nightmare…” Angel Studios has just debuted a second trailer for the animated version of the classic story Animal Farm – playing in theaters nationwide on May 1st. The full title from the studio is Animal Farm — A Cautionary Tail. This has been adapted before and made into movies, this time it’s a 3D animated comedy from the English motion-capture master / filmmaker Andy Serkis. He explains more: “Orwell’s Animal Farm has never felt more relevant. In an age where power, propaganda, & inequality shape our societies, it’s vital that we remember his cautionary tale. This [movie] isn’t just a story for entertainment — it’s a reminder that democracy, freedom, and integrity are fragile, and must be watched over. My hope is that audiences walk away moved, thoughtful, and inspired to stand up for the values that matter.” With the voices of Seth Rogen as Napoleon, Gaten Matarazzo as Lucky, Steve Buscemi as Mr. Whymper, Glenn Close as Freida Pilkington, Laverne Cox as Snowball, Kieran Culkin as Squealer, Woody Harrelson as Boxer, Jim Parsons as Carl the sheep, Andy Serkis as Mr. Jones & Randolph the Rooster, Kathleen Turner as Benjamin the donkey, and Iman Vellani as piglets Puff and Tammy.
