I was disappointed to find that this version of Animal Farm completely fails to convey the fundamental message of Animal Farm.
George Orwell's novel is about the deception, the cruelty, and the hypocrisy of the pigs' control of the farm. The reason it is such a good book is that it shows the reader how the situations slides from a seemingly democratic revolution to a bloody tyranny.
The 1954 animation of Animal Farm portrays this excellently; the scene where Boxer is carried away is often mentioned as being absolutely heart-wrenching. However, in the new edition, I remember trying to feel the same abhorrent turmoil but finding that it just wasn't there.
The story seems to be told as if it were from a children's adventure book. It most certainly is not. Admirable filming with real animals counts for nothing when the whole reason for being of the story is not expressed.
If you want to experience the sheer force of the story of Animal Farm, watch the old version.

This is a pleasing spinoff of Monty Python (featuring at least one MP sketch that I know of - the interview) in which John Cleese does a remarkable job of sticking to the point (irritation). Some of the non-Monty Python actors seemed out of place to me for that reason, but you can't hold that against them.
In general, a very amusing discourse on a totally pointless topic (that's a good thing).
