https://www.avclub.com/... You're doing Animal Farm and decide "Not to get heavy handed with politics"

hmm

"with his Lord Of The Rings film The Hunt For Gollum still on the way." please don't

It's George fucking Orwell

if you excise all the politics, it'd be 50 words, tops.

according to a review it replaced political commentary with fart jokes

But why? Who is a critique of Stalinism going to offend?

I feel like it's less trying to avoid offense and just flat out missing the fucking point of it being an allegory

“We’re keeping it fable-istic and [aimed at] a family audience. We are not going to handle the politics in a heavy-handed fashion.."

This screams 'why isn't the book about talking animals funny?'

allegory involves imagination, which is something they lack

I mean, it's not supposed to be comfy to watch if you do it right.

Kids can watch it but it's supposed to be mature.

yeah, and I'm not sure about anyone else, but I was in middle school when I had to read it for class
