PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

FILM SYNOPSIS

From visionary director Andy Serkis, and featuring the voices of Seth Rogen, Gaten Matarazzo, Glenn Close, and Woody Harrelson, comes an inspiring animated adventure about friendship, courage, and believing in a brighter future. When the animals of Manor Farm set out to build a community where everyone has a voice, they discover that creating a fair and happy home takes teamwork, kindness, and the courage to do what's right. Filled with heart, humor, and unforgettable characters, Animal Farm is a timeless tale the whole family can enjoy.

THE BRIEF
