Storyline:
Britain’s second animated feature, which, despite the title and Disney-esque animal animation, is in fact a no-holds-barred adaptation of George Orwell’s classic satire on Stalinism, with the animals taking over their farm by means of a revolutionary coup, but then discovering that although all animals are supposed to be equal, some are more equal than others…
Reviews:
“Honestly, I just don’t see why this great film keeps receiving so much unfair criticism. It is true that that it does change the ending of the book in which it was inspired, but for most part, it very respectful for its source material, keeping all the dark elements and themes from the novel.
In many ways, “Animal Farm” managed to be away too ahead of its time, being much mature than other animated films produced in the same decade. Even when the animation wasn’t as polished as the Disney classics, it was reasonably well made, with appealing designs and a good level of quality from beginning to end.
But it was the marvelous plot from this movie what made “Animal Farm” a worth-watching experience. This movie was made in a time when animation was considered a medium that only kids could enjoy (A sad misconception which unfortunately still exist in the present) and yet, it managed to be just as complex and interesting like novel, without changing the plot in order to make it much more “family friendly” (Now, if you want to see a terrible desecration of Orwell’s work watch the terrible “Animal Farm” live-action TV movie from 1999, which tried to turn the story into a “Babe” clone. Yes, it was that bad.)
“Animal Farm” is simply one of the most underrated animated films ever made, being a brave effort to show the possibilities that the medium had, predating the existence of masterpieces like “Watership Down” and “The Plague Dogs”. I think that this movie deserves much more appreciation and recognition from viewers.” -written by “Rectangular_businessman” on IMDb.com

I saw this in school when I was young… NOW both MOVIE and BOOK are BANNED MATERIAL!!! How utterly sad, that a few idiots get this canceled, just like Dr. Seuss books and cartoons.
Let this film be a cautionary tale of the dangerous pitfalls that could befall a communist revolution.
I will call it a holy Novel for every generation to come
lol the black pig is biden and the dogs are cia 😉
The fact that it links a lot to the Russian revolution is crazy
I remember reading this in high school or middle school. Great book!
I used this film when I taught it in the classroom. I can't watch it without tears in my eyes, especially when the poor horse is betrayed. Now it's sadder than ever as we seem to be reenacting it on a national level.
COMUNISTFASTO
Read this at school. The ending shocked me and stayed with me, where the animals could not distinguish between men and pigs. A warning to the world.
I know this story from the Movie "The Hunt" with Hilary Swank.
The narrator sounds like F. MURRY ABRAHAM
31:40
I watch this with a big mac and fries
Everyone supporting BLM and antifa need to watch this.
Power of democracy
They said there was no difference in man and pig
Only a few minutes in and no I’m not about to stop but let me just say, I feel like I’m watching a nightmare
As a farmer I have to laugh at the bit when the sheep throws away the shears down the well, it'll not be so happy when summer comes around and it isn't sheared and sweats like buggerit all summer long.
And yet we ended up with Trump anyway.
Charlotte's web Is different than I remember it
Still don't get it. Is the story about the ptfalls of national socialistic worker party. Or how communist ideology inevidally falls into authoritarianisms.
Or maybe, bacon is delicious.
The black and gray pig reminded me of Kim jong un
do you ever see a pig climbing ladder for paint writting?
germany every couple of decades….

boxer's death broke my heart as a kid. i see a bit of my old self in him. in the book, he had a slogan: "if napoleon says it, it must be right." he was not only a hard worker, but loyal to any fault. iirc when he was loaded up in the death wagon he said to his frantic companions something like, "i'll be fine, don't worry! napoleon's doing right, he won't hurt me!" he's a great lesson in what happens to the perfect communist.
Why do the pigs have vampire teeth? 0.o
Communism is an evil ideology and worse than Nazism.
Memorable fable it said. Only if they knew.
I remember absolutely hating this movie when I was a kid and we watching it to this day I can 100% see why I would never ever let my child watch this this movie is actually terrifying to watch even as an adult literally one of the pigs murdered the leader of the animals in front of everyone and then got up on stage with his dogs and said hey I just murdered snowball and I'll murder you too if you don't do what I say now here's my plan that you know a snowballs but I take ownership of it and nobody object to it it was asking if it was a mystery but everyone literally saw snowball running for his life
As I am watching this the brave Iranians are fighting for their lives and protesting for 55 consecutive days on the streets.
The song is little scary because makes me see the reality. In my country Peru we have the same problem. A corrupt government and the lose of citicens lives. Im worried we'll have a revolution!

God I hate Napoleon…..and to think no animals ever questioned him about snowball being a traitor and saying he was going to bring back Jones…I mean how would that benefit snowball and did he have any evidence…but no…sigh….snowball…
Cerita nya seru
This is happening now. I'm scared
8:44 Immediately when he said comrades, I understood it was an anti-communist movie.
I think the only country we can co-relate this movie to current situation is CCP or so called People republic of China in the name only!!
"ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL."
"BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS."
💗🥰❣️
When animals have the illusion that they own the farm, it's called democracy. When a large group of animals thinks only their butchers serve the animals, that's called communism.
