Animal Farm

This animated film is based on George Orwell's novella "Animal Farm". The story follows what happens on farmer Jones's farm after the animals rebel and drive out their master. What begins as an idyll of shared, cooperative life gradually turns into a tyranny led by Napoleon the pig. With the help of his pack of vicious dogs, he imposes a violent regime on the farm, working the animals to exhaustion while he and his fellow pigs enjoy lives of comfort. Orwell wrote a political allegory that struck at Soviet communism and at the way it was violently run by a ruling class, and the film, partly because it was funded in part by the CIA, served as a vehicle for spreading these messages. Thanks to its vivid animation, the immediate sympathy for its heroes and the way the story unfolds, it is a captivating work that still deserves attention today.
