The classic novel “Animal Farm” has been reimagined as a stunning new animated movie. This film promises to be one that the entire family can enjoy together. Watch the short but delightful trailer to get a look at the upcoming animated feature film, “Animal Farm.”

Books have, and probably always will, been places Hollywood turns to for ideas for its films. In fact, odds are pretty high that if you’re watching a movie or a television show, it was a novel and just adapted for the big or small screen. It makes sense why the film industry adapts books into movies and TV shows so regularly. A lot of people will already be familiar with the work, and, as a result, likely to have a built-in audience.

That is especially true for a classic novel such as “Animal Farm.” Written by George Orwell and published in the 1940s, “Animal Farm” is about a group of animals who, after realizing they are being mistreated, band together to oust their human owners.

However, after doing so, they create a power structure with very clearly defined rules. Of course, several animals assume power and control, claiming to have only good, the best of intentions. But as the animals soon find out, power corrupts, and ideas that were once considered good can be used for nefarious purposes. As the most famous and recognizable passage from the book states, “all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.”

“Animal Farm,” which opens in theaters on May 1, is rated PG for “thematic elements, some action/violence, rude humor and language.”

The film features an all-star cast, with the cartoon characters being voiced by some very recognizable and distinct voices. Woody Harrelson, Seth Rogen, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin and Jim Parsons all have parts in this new animated film based on the classic novel by Orwell.
