Woody Harrelson is voicing Boxer
Click to expand...
Knowing nothing, I am going to make a bold prediction. Woody once starred as riot cop in a fictional retelling of 'The Battle of Seattle.' He was already rich and famous, so he probably did it out of enjoyment. In the movie he starts out a man of the system, then has serious doubts later on as his own role puts him in 'are we the baddies?' situations.

Ergo: if this flick is going to twist 1984 into a 'communism good, actually. Fascism bad' story. The horse will be recast as a donkey. Since they're mexican-coded and everyone intuits donkeys are less noble than horses (so 'underdog'). They'll make nods to the Shrek donkey as well, so he'll be stupid and 'funny' and hard-working. 'I'm not like other donkeys, I do what I'm told!' You may hear that very line. He'll otherwise hit all the same beats as Boxer did in the book, but it'll be churro-coded the whole time; those evil fascists took advantage of the hispanics. His doubts will grow over time, but his stupid faith will doom him. The subtext being that real life mexicans should stop loving hitler and catholicism so much.

to basically turn a giant red warning sign into a kid-friendly advertisement for the exact kind of suffering that brought Rogen’s family here, and actively try to court such a destructive and evil system on the shores of the only country who’s never even flirted with the idea, is tantamount to sacrilege in my mind and if this administration were as fascist as Hollywood likes to believe this entire production would have been destroyed from the get-go for being evil, anti-American propaganda

Just found these words from an interview AndySerkis gave:
The approach is: if Orwell were writing Animal Farm today, what would he be talking about? What would he be satirizing? It's sadly an ever-relevant book, in terms of power corrupting absolutely, and the desire to create a utopia being turned on its head. Because what do you actually do with freedom? If you win freedom, can it ever be sustained? Or are we doomed to go wrong every time?​
​
Finding a viewpoint for Animal Farm has been the challenge, [but] I think we have it. It's a family film. It will be a family film, and will be entertaining for everyone.​

JESUS ANDY, IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN DELIBERATELY TO BE EVER RELEVANT, AND THAT HE WOULD WRITE IT EXACTLY THE SAME WAY TODAY. THAT'S WHY IT'S FARM ANIMALS.

Give me that fucking hat.

Finished the first season of Kipo.

I was a bit hesitant to google that because Kipo is the German Youtube-friendly term for Kinderpornographie (child porn).

Isn't the kind of humor in this trailer very outdated now? I thought this was the exact kind of cringe millennial humor that kids are done with. I don't really see this movie going places.

Anyone who would care about an Animal Farm adaptation is just going to be pissed off about this obvious abomination in the eyes of God. These commie Hollywood fucks have no business touching this.

That was pretty cute, ngl. Animators did a good job.

Making hyperviolent cartoon characters the stars of a show for toddlers is crazy, though.

True, why it made me think of that Simpsons clip I linked to. It's like trying to find purpose with these guys outside their usual routine (like what they did in 1975).

I think the reason people do this is to replicate the stop-motion animation that actual TALENTED people (see: Wallace and Gromit) did waaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. The problem is that they miss the fucking point entirely of why stop-motion animation was beloved. You can try to replicate that shit on a computer all you want, but an actual hands-on approach with love'n'passion is what makes it work.

Like at this point, old South Park is better at stop-motion than these newer shows that try to emulate it.

iirc South Park was doing fake stop motion with computers by the second episode, so they were trend setters in that sense

Speaking of South Park, they showed a clip of Officer Barbrady having all crazy types of effects on the software happening on him. I know because I watched someone's video-essay, but forgot the title/video, but would love to find it, it was surreal/hilarious.

Easy to forget how much physical work goes into modeling shots for the animators.

Pretty much.
