Animal Farm is a movie that first aired on TNT in 1999. The voices are mostly British but could be any farm in any country. The animals talk, similar to the Babe movies. Animal Farm is nothing like Babe. These animals are tired of being under the rule of man. The animals rise against their “masters” and take over the farm. In the beginning the idea of a Utopian society where all animals are equal and are not subject to anything on two feet. Run by the pigs, because pigs are just smarter, the animals feel that things will be better without the farmers around. Things are for a while, but as the movie progresses so do the pigs thirst for the finer things (sleeping in a bed, eating at a dinning table and whiskey). The rules of the new society are changed to fit the pigs need for power and comfort.
The community is changed from a Utopian dream to a Totalitarian regime.
Based on the George Orwell book, Animal Farm tells a tale of the rise and fall of a society that is created for the right reasons but continues to exist for all the wrong ones. I read the book in Junior High and loved it. The movie is good, the special effects are decent. The decent of the society is told in a great fashion with the use of propaganda films and images that could be related to the rise of Communism in Soviet Union. The ending is kind of bright and fluffy but does not detract from the rest of the movie.
