George Orwell Would Have Loved This
A British animation that captures the best of Orwell's "fable" while making it sufficiently subdued for children. There is violence, but it takes place "out of camera," as it were.Surely you know the story: The pigs of Manor Farm stage a revolution against Jones, a drunken sot who has neglected his animals. But like most revolutions, it soon devolves into conditions worse than with Jones for the rest of the animals, and a vicious power grab by the pigs.One of the best parts is that early in the change from Manor Farm to Animal Farm, the pigs post a series of rules that sound good as far as they go. Then one by one they modify the rules to suit themselves.
