Is this supposed to be Old Major (Marx/Lenin) and Snowball (Trotsky) in conversation, and Napoleon (Stalin) injecting himself?
I’m a bit sceptical for now. I don’t remember this scene from the book, and I don’t feel like I see the characters as I remember them here. I thought Old Major pretty much stuck with his principles until the end, and things turned to shit only after his death? Alternatively, if the adult pig in the trailer is Napoleon, are the piglets just random partisans who had no role in the book?
The film is directed by Andy Serkis, aka Gollum, so that’s interesting I guess.
Thanks. I guess the piglets just represent random Bolsheviks sucking up to the Party leadership. Makes it look a bit like if Death of Stalin was set to Animal Farm.

Seth Rogen is playing Napoleon, the dad character in the scene.
But yeah, the tone doesn’t seem right based on that clip.
