George Orwell’s literary classic is adapted for the big screen in this powerful animation by Joy Batchelor and John Halas. The fable tells the story of a revolution organised by farm animals against the farmer, as they seek to establish a system based on equality. However, as the pigs gradually take power, they begin to reproduce the abuses previously meted out by the humans, revealing how the principles of liberty can easily be corrupted. Animal Farm is a satirical critique of totalitarianism and political manipulation, reflecting Orwell’s concerns regarding absolute power and the betrayal of revolutionary ideas.
