Animal Farm is terrifying to children, everyone else.

- Let me present to you the little-loved 1999 live-action Animal Farm. Stripped free of all allegory and attendant connotations (Stalin and Lenin, etc.) this well-dissected story becomes exactly what George Orwell originally subtitled it: a fairy-tale. A traumatizing fairy-tale of animal buchery, starring a cast of British Whore Actors straight out of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, marketed towards the family-friendly "Charlotte's Web" crowd.
Among its crimes:It changed the original ending of the book, pulling a fast 180 in the last 2 minutes. It was The Hallmark Channel's first original movie, but plays like the more demented scenes from "Summer of Sam." It took a full year to shoot and create the tangy mix of practical effects, trained animals and CGI polish. It cost 23 million dollars and lost approximately one zillion.
It is, without a doubt, one of the best worst movies ever. - Розваги
Yes. Truly terrifying, horrific I was forced to watch this at school.... I still don't sleep the same.
Lol
Damn Teddy. Make sure to REALLY avoid communist regimes then!
You’re lucky that you didn’t have to endure the 1954 one
Such an epic classic, right?
Old Major is voiced by Peter Ustinov -- best remembered as the voice of Prince John from Disney's Robin Hood.
I can't believe I couldn't recognize him. He had such a powerful voice that carried such a presence. I also can't believe I couldn't recognize Patrick Stewart (Napoleon) right away
Ooh owo
I thought it was David Odgen stiers
Ustinov also voiced Prince John in the German dub of Robin Hood.
I had a feeling I heard that voice somewhere! 😅
How wet the end of that pig's nose is kinda grossed me out. Real pigs' snouts are not usually that wet. The filmmakers wanted to make the visual implication here that that pig had a very runny snotty nose 😣.
You should see the Song of the Grateful Duck. Now *that's* terrifying.
'Orwellian' has even become an adjective for 'sinister' and 'big-brother-like'...
aaaahhh! I remember being just absolutely scarred by this movie as a kid, ugh!
Though I read the book a lot I still find it kind of scary
It's happening now....
The only pig that is scarier than Ganon!
And which pig is that?
@@Dylan-Hooton, I know you're not asking me, but Frankatron probably isn't going to respond to you because his comment was posted 6 years ago. And I'm pretty sure I know the answer, he probably meant the lead pig in this video who gave the speech about all humans being the enemy. He was creepy looking. And he's giving a speech about how they're all going to be slaughtered and saying humans are the enemy.
Old Major is the boar’s name.
@@alvexok5523You mean Old Major? Well, his breed is the British Middle White in this film. The book from 1945 doesn’t really specify the breed Major is, but something from the Book AND the 1999 live action film has for one of the pigs is that Napoleon is a Berkshire Boar. But his speech is supposed to cause the revolution later on, hence the reason why he’s like Karl Marx or Lenin.
I actually think the changed ending isn't too bad -- since it was made in the 90s right after the end of the USSR having a more hopeful ending makes sense in context. Though if we made one now I'm sure it would be very different...
Yeah
@@itfigurescomics6704 Andy Serkis is actually making a new adaptation of the book
So, they cutified it, with funny jokes and hilarious characters, then we're treated to violence, horror and the animals finding Old Major's butchered carcass in the kitchen. Then they give it a happy ending?
Cgi rat makes it family friendly
*Yes*
I remember my sister was scared of this.
I hate that old major why they make him so gross and scary
Well it's to show he's a very old boar I mean his hair is starting to turn white and he can barley see
OMG THAT GOAT 1:23
Noooo!
1:23 LMAO the goat
NO!
This is just fucked up. It never should have been done in live-action.
I will NEVER stop commenting that this shit was fucking scary. Don’t show it to kids as it had me scared shitless.
The movie is great... yes it extended the story a bit and updated it a bit so as to extend the allorgy to today's Communist countries. But I think, if Arthur was living today, he would have done the same. It was still true to the book and the original message (as opposed to the 50's movie which sucked).
Oh and fables have ALWAYS been regarded as being made for children when in reality they where NEVER made for children - it's just that some adults are too stupid to get what it is really about.
I thought the 50's film was good 😯
Molly is such a sassy mare
like the 1954 film this 1 dont care 2 c
Grasshopper Man *book
1:38-1:41 my favorite part :P
My daughter JUST told me today (11/3/21) that they're making her watch this in class RIGHT NOW lmao!! WTFFF LOLL
I don’t think school should show this kinda thing it scared me as a kid even just looking at the case it freaked me out
It would do kids good nowadays to develop their own moral compasses
It's movies like this I swore to be kinder to animals.
Those animals are not real if they are puppets can you imagine prehistoric animals that way?
I’ve heard Jim Henson’s Creature Shop was behind both this movie and that upcoming Five Nights and Freddy’s movie, which was an excellent choice on Blumhouse’s part. That Old Major puppet is definitely possessed by the ghost of a dead child.
i havent read or seen the story but i must disagree. my resurch has stated the epic allegory is still very much intact. its dark and dramatic and shot ironicly in the style of babe. parents were just dumb enough to think this was for kids. and sadly the changed ending is justified because it was made in 99 almost a decade after the cold war ended and the ussr fell. so in a weried way, it does it all the more justice. NOW THE CHANGED ENDING TO THE MOVIE MADE IN THE 50S HAD NNNNOOO SUCH EXCUSE.
That pig be looking like one of those animatronics you see at Disney or Universal Studios!
The pigs are animatronics
this is awkward but at least i know what major looks like
Old major talks like prince john and king Richard from Disney's robinhood
its the same voice actor
This is why that movie is rated PG-13
yeah im sloppy like that. sorry shruggs. but i made my point didnt i? ive seen the trailer and it doesnt hide the vicousness of the plot and this scene represents everything about good alagory. majors speech istrue and thought pervoking. about how they are only fed what they need to work. i love the goats line "i thought i was free". i also like that mare's thought, 'who would brush/braid my hair?' thats exactly what id think a horse would think. after years of being treated like that of course-
Old Major: All Animals are EQUAL!!
Me: I suppose the circle of life doesn’t count in this?
it’s an allegory
they'd be suprised at the idea of such an extreme change. this is a very liget scene and i cant imaging the book being all that different. and ive seen the clip of the Song of the Grateful Duck. here on youtube. jesus christ i mean seriosly. its one of the most sadistic scenes ive ever seen in a family flick. question: was the description sarcasim or did they really mean what they said? because if they did im sorry but i disagree. i do. i honestly do. this isnt sugercoating.
yep it is terrifiying as hell......
Jim henson's creature shop
You will be. You Will Be.
This scared me
why
you miss spelled research :)

I like this movie, i don't think it terrifiyng.
That's probably because you didn't see it as a little kid. I never did either, but I can understand i guess that the talk about getting slaughtered and humans being the enemy could scare a little kid. And it really resembles real life because sheep and pigs really do fear slaughter and with the way they often get treated in real life and going to slaughter has made these animals petrified of humans.
But Alvex Ok, i watch this movie as a little kid with my mom, and i don't think that it was scary.
@@adairroberto2188, ok, I believe you. I was just saying why I think some kids get scared by this movie. All the talk from the animals about having to face their own slaughter, and how it mirrors real life because of animals really being slaughtered. But I'm sure not all kids have gotten scared by this movie, you were one who didn't get scared by this movie when you were a kid.
Now you were getting to me. Oh, and you know that Barnyard: The Original Party Animals is loosely based on the book Animal Farm, with the coyotes replacing the humans as the enemies of the animals, and Dag the Coyote being similar to Napoleon the Pig, since they are the main antagonists of both the book and film and being leaders? (However, Napoleon was not defeated in the book, altought he was defeated in the 1954 and 1999 films.)
That's your opinion not a fact. It's art so you can't pick at it
I like the original version much better
Exactly how is this movie stripped of all allegory and reduced to a simple fairy tale? I watched this movie before reading the book and had never even heard anything about the book other than it was about animals mad at farmers. Yet right away while watching this movie I could see the story of Soviet Russia and Communism and how the downfall of every regime starts with greed. I think it's a pretty good adaptation. When were Patrick Stewart, Kelsey Grammar, and Pete Postlethwaite in HP or LotR?
