“After George Orwell’s world-famous novel Animal Farm, the directors Halas and Batchelor made an entertaining, ironic and thoughtful cartoon that became a classic. The animals of the Manor Farm no longer want to be treated and exploited badly by the cruel farmer Jones. They chase away their master and run their farm from now on. All animals are the same, the motto of their revolution is. But some animals are the same! mean the pigs and start building imperceptibly, then with open force a new reign of terror.”
