Цитата:
Экранизация знаменитого одноименного сатирического романа Джорджа Оруэлла. Однажды звери, обитающие на ферме пьяницы мистера Джонса, решили совершить переворот и избавиться от обидчиков - людей. Им надоело терпеть унижения и чувствовать постоянный страх превратиться в обед для жестоких двуногих угнетателей. Подняв восстание, звери прогнали хозяина и его работников с Господского Двора, создали свою партию и решили начать строить новую жизнь по собственной теории под названием "Скотизм".
Цитата:
Animal Farm is a 1954 British animated feature by Halas and Batchelor, based on the popular book by George Orwell. It was the first British animated feature released worldwide, but it was not the first British animated feature ever made. It can, however, be said to be the first British animated feature film on general release.
Time Magazine chose the book 'Animal Farm' as one of the 100 best English-language novels (1923 to 2005), at number 31 on the Modern Library List of Best 20th-Century Novels. It won a Retrospective Hugo Award in 1996 and is also included in the Great Books of the Western World.
Plot:
Plot
The film generally follows the book closely, with the exception of the ending (see the section headed Epilogue).
Following the return of a drunken Mr. Jones to Manor Farm, the pig Old Major calls a meeting of all the animals. He tells them to revolt against Jones and to take control of the farm for themselves, calling for a life of equality and prosperity. Following his death that night, the two pigs Napoleon and Snowball assume command and the animals force Jones from the farm, singing a revolutionary song as they burn his possessions.

Snowball promises the other animals a better future through hard work. Napoleon drives him away from the farm with a bunch of orphaned dogs he raised harshly , denouncing him as a traitor, and presents Snowball's plan for a windmill as his own, taking charge of the farm and deputising another pig, Squealer.
There is little food available to the other animals, but the pigs have plenty. Boxer the horse and his friend Benjamin the donkey work long hours helping to build the windmill, and later discover the pigs sleeping in beds in Jones' house; the commandment against beds has been changed on the barn accordingly. The farm, under Napoleon's leadership, begins to trade with the outside world, represented by Mr. Whimper. Squealer tells the chickens that their eggs will be taken as trade goods, contradicting what they were told by Old Major. They attempt to revolt but are caught by the pigs. In a scene reminiscent of Stalin's purges, the chickens (along with a sheep and a goose that was seen earlier in the film as a gosling) confess their 'crimes' and are killed by the dogs. The chickens feathers are used to edit one of the commandments.
The revolutionary song is forbidden by Napoleon under the penalty of death, and trade continues. The other farmers become jealous of Whimper and attempt to seize Animal Farm. A battle ensues during which Boxer is shot in the leg, and from which the animals emerge triumphant. In the meantime, however, Jones blows up the windmill (and obviously himself, as he is in a drunken stupor at that time and he isnt seen escaping from the mill and doesnt appear in the rest of the film). During the winter, the animals rebuild the windmill whilst the pigs languish in the farmhouse. Boxer's health deteriorates until one night, when during a storm he collapses. A van, apparently an ambulance, arrives to take Boxer away, but turns out to be from Whymper's glue factory. The animals open the back of the van and save boxer and replace him with a stuffed horse to fool the van drivers. pigs receive a case of whiskey in payment, and Squealer delivers a phony speech. The animals realise that the pigs have betrayed the revolution and used it for their own ends, but are stopped from doing anything by the dogs.
Years afterwards, Napoleon's schemes have proven so successful that other farms (or rather, their pig leaders) have joined his cause. During a meeting of the pigs, Benjamin the donkey discovers that they intend to suck the other animals completely dry with even more work and less food, and he stirs and leads a multi-farm revolution along with several farmers and the townspeople against Napoleon and his cohorts. The dogs are too sober to fight, making the revolt easier, and Napoleon and the other pig leaders perish( and strongly implied that along with the dogs they are killed) while benjamin the humans and the other animals look over their victory. in the epilogue the animals and benjamin discover that snowball was imprisoned in a silo. they free him, destroy whats left of animal farm on fire and they soon leave animal farm to a nearby abandoned farm that has everything they need for a lifetime while a raven and several vultures go to animal farm to feast on the dead grilled bodies of the dogs and napolean.
Differences between the book and the film
* Benjamin is portrayed differently in this film than he is in the novel. He still is a donkey, but is shown as Boxer's loyal friend, willing to stand by him whatever the cost. Years after Boxer's death, Benjamin discovers Napoleon's evil plot to completely overwork the animals, and leads the animals during the 2nd revolution, supposedly becoming a strong leader in their community. In his young age, he also works together with Boxer when he works late hours. In the novel, this never occurs.
* Boxer, who is nonchalant, never makes use of any of his mottoes in the film.
* In this film Mr Whymper is a salesman who starts trading with the pigs. He also owns the glue factory to which Boxer is almost sent.
* The windmill was only destroyed once.
* The puppies that grew to be Napoleon's bodyguards were not taken away from their mother. Instead, Napoleon quietly stole them away to raise them after their mother was killed.
* In this film, the animals realise the pigs' true aims in Boxer's death.
* Snowball ran away and was never seen again in the novel, with no information provided on his ultimate fate after the novel. In the film, it's very strongly implied that he was killed by Napoleon's dogs when they pursued, though this is kept from the other animals.
* Old Major dies immediately after telling the animals about his dream while in the novel he lives a few more months.
* There are only six Commandments in this film.
* In the novel the pigs make a habit of trading with humans when they need building materials and other things that are not available on the farm. In this film, they start trading with Mr. Whymper when Napoleon runs out of jams and jellies that were left behind when Mr. Jones was expelled.
* Mr. Frederick and Mr. Pilkington's roles are reduced.
* At the end of the film, Benjamin sees the pigs 'transform' into Jones hich is a nod at the novels ending.
* Clover and Muriel don't have much of a part in the film as they do in the book.
* Napoleon drink the milk in the film, but in the novel Napoleon and squealer do.
* Jones did not participate in the battle of the windmill in the novel.
* Snowball's plans for the windmill were never shown to the animals and Napoleon later said that they were his plans when first unveiled.
* "Four legs good, two legs bad" is only used twice in the film (although it is uttered by the sheep on at least five occasions).
* Napoleon's favourite sow never appeared.
* In the end of the film the card game where Pilkington and Napoleon both draw the ace of spades never happens.
Epilogue
In Orwell's original book, the animals simply look on in dismay as they come to realise that the pigs have become nothing better than the human masters of old.
In a stark departure from Orwell's book, the film ends immediately after this iconic image with the animals revolting against the pigs. John Halas, one half of the directing team, later reflected that the film needed the happier ending of counter-revolution, as it rewarded the audience for their emotional investment.
The animation historian Brian Sibley doubts that the team responsible were aware of the source of the funding, which is now accepted to have come from the Central Intelligence Agency, whose concern was to facilitate the creation of anti-communist art.
