    It’s a classic, but not exactly what the world needs right now. The Orwell adaptation he should have done is 1984.

      Yeah, not sure we need to know about the dangers of communism while capitalism is tearing apart society, but we all know who finances these productions.

        Animal Farm is pro communist. Did you read it? It warns of the offpath idea of Stalinism.

          This… this doesn’t counter my comment. An offpath of Stalinism is still within the scope of “dangers of communism”.

          My main point was that we don’t need that movie right now anyway. We need a Captain Planet reboot or a new FernGully or a Lorax that isn’t shilling SUVs.
