The countdown to the Annecy International Animation Film Festival has officially begun, and we at Cinesite are buzzing with excitement! With the full-length animated feature film, Animal Farm, set for a highly anticipated special screening next week, the filmmakers have just given the world a tantalising first look. Today, Variety exclusively unveiled a captivating clip, offering audiences a glimpse into the incredible world we’ve brought to life.

Directed by the visionary Andy Serkis, and created by Cinesite for Aniventure and The Imaginarium, Animal Farm is a powerful adaptation of George Orwell’s timeless and ever-relevant classic novella. For generations, Orwell’s allegorical tale has served as a poignant commentary on power, corruption, and the fight for freedom. The film embraces these profound themes, bringing them to a new generation through stunning animation and deeply resonant performances.

A Glimpse into the Revolution: The Synopsis

When a group of farm animals rebel and kick their neglectful farmer off the land, life is good and the dream of a free, equitable future is within sight. But power struggles among some of literature’s most infamous characters ensue and the realities of living in a world designed for mankind complicates and corrupts the satirical and allegorical, Animal Farm.

Meet the Voices Behind the Revolution: An All-Star Cast

The sneak peek clip introduces us to young Farm piglet Luck, brought to life by the incredible Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things). He’s seen receiving some sage, if perhaps ominous, advice from the larger, more experienced pig Napoleon, voiced by the one and only Seth Rogen. Rogen’s distinct voice lends a formidable presence to Napoleon, the pig whose ambition will steer the course of the farm’s destiny.

But that’s just the beginning of the star-studded ensemble! The impressive voice cast also includes:

• Steve Buscemi
• Glenn Close
• Laverne Cox
• Kieran Culkin
• Woody Harrelson
• Jim Parsons
• Kathleen Turner
• Iman Vellani
• And even director Andy Serkis himself!
