Animal Farm
An animated version of George Orwell's classic allegorical novel about the totalitarian aftermath of a barnyard revolution.
Animated version of George Orwell's classic political fable which was the first full-length cartoon made in England.
Farmer Jones's animals revolt against their cruel and drunken owner and run the farm on their own, led by the pigs. But although they begin as a democracy, it gradually develops into a dictatorship in which the pigs are the elite and Napoleon, the most powerful and corrupt of the pigs, is the brutal dictator.
With the voice of Maurice Denham for all the animals.
