Animal farm 19546/28/2023 ![]() This is the final straw and that night while the pigs are toasting to their success, Benjamin briefly hallucinates that the pigs have Jones' face (as opposed to becoming humans as in the book) then leads a revolt against them with an army of animals from farms all over - the dogs are too drunk to do their job and Napoleon is quickly stomped to death. In the film pig delegates from other farms arrive to see Napoleon unveil the revised commandment: "All animals are equal but some animal are more equal than others". Adaptational Alternate Ending: The main diversion from the book.The CIA would provide similar influence for another Orwell adaptation, Nineteen Eighty-Four, a couple years later.Īll tropes are equal, but some are more equal than others: In addition to providing the money they also influenced the production: making Snowball less sympathetic and of course changing the ending to something more upbeat to inspire anti-communist resistance. The film's financing was done either in full or in part by the CIA - and no, the filmmakers themselves were not aware of this fact. The film has only two credited voice actors: Gordon Heath as the narrator and Maurice Denham, who voiced all the animals and humans! The first screen adaptation of George Orwell's classic satire released in 1954 and the first full-length animated film made by Great Britain to get a theatrical release (the actual first feature was a navy training film for sailors) by Halas and Batchelor, as well as the first one to be aimed at adult audiences. ![]()
