Title: All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others
Review: ANIMAL FARM(1954) an animated film of the book by George Orwell directed by John Halas and Joy Batchelor. All voices by Maurice Denham. A good film. Interesting to see a fully animated film made in the 50s NOT by Walt Disney. In spite of being funded by the CIA, the film is surprisingly devoid of communism. Napoleon the pig(Stalin) could easily be Mussolini, Obama or any other tinpot dictator. The film scrubs up Snowball(Trotsky) something fierce and actually has a relatively happy ending. That said, the book is depressing and the movie is still quite brutal especially for the time period. Definately worth a look. Just do not go in expecting singing mice and dancing fairies.
