Main entry
Animal Farm
- pigs aren't supposed to stand / pigs aren't supposed to stand up -> why is this a motif both in Animal Farm and in Pokémon news discourse. it really is, and it's like, weirdly the same. only small connotations are different.

notable: this movie cast Snowball as female because it got a trans actor. when I first saw it I was like, do people know about Krupskaya and Sedova and want to reference them or something?? do we have a rosa luxemburg fan, like...? no. I overthought things like always. - Animal Farm is about fascism -> I have some choice words about how wrong this is. but they're probably on other entries already, it's not worth it to put them here.
generalized dictator + Animal Farm = Animal Farm is about fascism. - Animal Farm (2026) was written for China -> this idea is crazy but it's one of the only things that might actually explain it. someone somehow miraculously learned about discourses in China (that happened over a decade ago to be honest) where some people were upset about the country opening up to foreign capital, and fixed a movie for China in the most unusual way, actually rewriting the plot instead of just censoring out gay people and whatnot. I might be overthinking this... but the thought of US screenwriters having to learn about Deng Xiaoping Thought is just so funny.
option 2 is that nobody was thinking about China, and the writers just genuinely started to sympathize with the notion of the Soviet Union getting besieged by foreign capital without knowing that's what they're doing. that honestly sounds way more far-fetched to me. - Animal Farm is not a kids' book (Orwell) -> I think that's rather debatable when it's repeatedly been taught in schools. the teachers' pages say... 9th grade? that's about. 14. so you could argue it's Young-Adult, pretty fairly. but honestly a lot of Young Adult books are colloquially called children's books, Harry Potter notably. it really depends on what you mean by children.
