Summaries
The animals of a farm successfully revolt against its human owner, only to slide into a more brutal tyranny amongst themselves.
A satire of Stalinist Russia, this story tells of the revolt of the animals of Manor Farm against their human masters. Led by the pigs Snowball (Trotsky) and Napoleon (Stalin), the animals attempt to create a utopian society. Soon, however, Napoleon gets a taste for power, drives out Snowball, and establishes a totalitarian regime as brutal and corrupt as any human society. Manor Farm becomes a world where all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
A direct allegory to the rise of Stalinist Russia, this movie combines George Orwell's parable with animatronics and voice characterizations by popular actors and actresses. Following a speech made by a venerable pig named Old Major (Lenin), the animals of Manor Farm form their own philosophy of Animalism (Communism), and lead a successful revolution orchestrated primarily by the pig Snowball (Trotsky), who tries to implement Old Major's ideas to the letter. Snowballs idealism does not save him when he is exiled by a more ambitious pig named Napoleon (Stalin), who seizes power over the farm, and proceeds to reshape Old Major's ideas to his own liking, and bringing the animals into a darker existence than they had ever dreamed.
Film adaptation of George Orwell's novel, an allegory of Russian Communism. The animal inhibitants of an English farm, spurred on by dreams of dominating the Earth and ruling together and equally, take over, and at first, all is well. But then Napolean (Stalin) the pig decides he wants a little more power. He ousts his opponent, Snowball (Trotsky), and turns the farm into a corrupt society, assuring the animals that everything is fine, when in fact, that is most certainly not true.
