Made in 1954, Animal Farm was the first full-length animated feature film to be made in Britain in colour. This timeless story tells the tale of the animals of Manor Farm who, fed up with Farmer Jones' abuse, revolt and take over the farm. Led by the two most intelligent pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, the animals work hard to make their farm a place of equality, honour and prosperity.Ironically, Napoleon's greed for power and authority result in the injustice and cruelty they fought to abolish being inflicted on them once again. George Orwell's allegorical tale not only has a moral message but draws its parallels with political oppression and the rise of Communism. Wonderful animation, superb characterisation and brilliant voices created by Maurice Denham all contribute to Orwell's celebrated masterpiece.
