‘Toto in Hollywood’ host Christian Toto claims the new George Orwell film adaptation of Animal Farm is a complete trainwreck that misses the point. “You’re looking at a story that’s trying to appease children and younger audiences, and you're dealing with this classic text that has really heavy dark themes, you put them together, and no one will be pleased,” Mr Toto told Sky News host James Morrow.
“It’s almost like a trainwreck of a film. I mentioned before, I don’t know what they were trying for. “If you’re going to do Animal Farm, you can’t lose the premise of the story, it’s about totalitarianism, it’s not about these cute fuzzy animals who are worried about capitalism. “It’s angering everyone.”
