Equally entertaining & insightful in its social commentary, the 1954 classic Animal Farm, based on George Orwell's acclaimed novel, explores the power dynamics & politics of animals/humans. Featuring an incredible voice performance from Maurice Denham (The Day of the Jackal). BAFTA-nominee for Best Animated Film.
"Animal Farm" is an animated adaptation of George Orwell's classic allegorical novella. Set on a farm where the animals overthrow their human farmer in hopes of creating an egalitarian society, the story follows the rise of the pigs, who take charge and establish a new set of rules. However, as the pigs gain power, they begin to mirror the oppressive behaviors of the humans they overthrew, leading to a betrayal of the revolutionary ideals. The film explores themes of power, corruption, and the cyclical nature of tyranny.
This is an intense movie. We do not recommend it for little ones, but the principles are incredibly important to be considered for the rest of the family.
