For a better animated adaptation of the book, you would be far better off with the John Halas/Joy Batchelor adaptation from the 1940s, which is FAR more faithful to Orwell. Halas and Batchelor got the point of the story and didn't have to massage the feelings of shareholders, since they owned their shop outright.
(Technically, "Snowball" is a gender neutral name- Orwell was the one who decided to make him male, so if you wanted to do a swap... The same goes for many other characters in the book. The only main character animal with a specifically gendered name is Napoleon, and he is, regrettably, more masculine than he needs to be. And, honestly, most of these kind of animals in real life don't care about gender swaps, so why should we?).
There is an ugly, nihilistic, hater of all things good, beautiful and true hidden inside of me. I'm not proud of it, and that creature has a primal want to see what the same production team could achieve if handed 1984.
I don't think I've ever seen any of Angel Studios' films in theaters. I watched a few episodes of The Chosen and found it a "meh" retelling. I think Jesus of Nazareth is still the better television adaptation. That's just how all of Angel Studios' films feel in the trailers, just "meh..." Better than most Christian entertainment, but nowhere near Hollywood, which is increasingly becoming a lower bar that they can't reach. I only saw Sound of Freedom, but that was just distributed by Angel. It seems to me that Angel Studios had a revolutionary idea, but the second they had public shareholders, they had to appeal to them, and that was the end of the studio.
I had no idea Animal Farm was created by the same studio as Sound of Freedom. What a stark difference. I wrote it off as leftist slop from the first advertisement.

Gender-swapping Snowball is the one pure Orwellian choice made.
Codex's Codicil to Iowa Hawk's laws of SJW-converged institutions strikes again.

That's a shame.
I find it odd how they modeled Goliath in David.
A tall, white, blonde haired, blue-eyed giant. It really makes you think.

The Angel Studios devolution into Hallmark Churchian drek is now visible to all.
They want to be Hollywood so badly.
Props to you, Dark Herald, for mentioning Hoodwinked Too! as a comparable
**Does Not Recommend** indeed.
Yes, Hoodwinked Too! that's some forgotten lore. It's Sad Angel Studio wrecked so soon.

Angel isn’t really a studio in the traditional sense. It’s a distributor and marketer more than anything else.
I'm a guild member of Angel Studios. I never got to vote on this one, or if I did, I strongly disapproved of it.
They get your attention , then they slowly nudge you back into the globalist fold.
Subversion is the only thing these ppl are good at.
Wolves in sheep's clothing spreading Godlessness. It's what evil demons do.
