Ironically enough, Orwell also struggled with people thinking the book was for children based on it having talking animals, and several of my high school friends said they couldn't take it seriously because of it when we read it, so it's not so farfetched to think people would perceive that.
*When 15 minuets is just talking about the movie while the rest is politics*
OH BOY! GET THE POPCORN!
cant wait til shawn is forced to watch Plague Dogs
When I first got my hands on Animal Farm (the book), I was extremely young. I think I was like 6 or 7. However, I was a child born in Poland in 1991 so I was basically constantly surrounded by the remains of communism and USSR's influence. This book helped me to piece together what had happened before my birth and better understand the world I was living in. That's why Animal Farm will always be dear to my heart. Oh, also, that book made me into a furry, so there's always that.
Mmmm. Politics
I never read the book (we didn't read hardly anything my school) and never saw this movie so I watched it before I watched the review and. Well. ........W ell. The whole thing with Boxer actually made me really emotional, with Benjamin screeching that was well done and heart wrenching IT /WAS/ SAD WHEN THE HORSE DIES TENNELLE
Also LOVE THE NEW REVIEW
OMG!! I would watch this all the time when I was younger ! Don't ask why! It freaked me out every time! But I liked it at the same time! I would always watch it on UA-cam tho lol
For my district, Animal Farm is read in English class for 9th graders, which I think it much more appropriate than 7th graders.
I read it in 6th grade lol
I am digging the new animated opening! Great work~
Getting into the commentary, it's a shame that the USSR and other communist regimes ruined the image of some of the more effective socialist practices in the West. I don't think it would be impossible to balance out some of these ideals for the benefit of all if people were willing to meet somewhere in the middle.
Also I hear that mention of "more disturbing British films from the 70s" and I raise my eyebrow because ooohhhh
Wow! The new beginning animation is great!
Blew me out of the WATER with the facts on the CIA funding this movie! If I wrote my 8th grade essay about that, maybe I wouldn't have failed history!
i actually really enjoy the animation for farmer jones. his movements are so slow and it's kinda unsettling to watch him in comparison to the quick, snappy animations of the other characters. beyond his obvious mistreatment of the animals, it's so easy to get a bad feeling when you see him on screen
actually, Karl Marx created communism, Lenin formed the Soviet Union, Trotsky was supposed to become leader, but Stalin took over. Also, the soviet union was always a dictatorship.
Harry Obser
Fun fact, Trotskys grandson is a Trot, also did an interview where he tells the story of his grandfathers assassination by the Stalinist agent.
While I an an AnCom I do lament Stalin taking over the USSR, Trotsky was not saint but he truly cared for the workers and wanted to establish a worker's state (while not perfect at least he would've actually maintained a workers democracy and eventually ended the state Capitalist economy of the USSR in favor of a Socialist one)
☆~everyday I lose my faith in the US~☆
Northflower
fun fact:
The song is literally just The Internationale with different lyrics, the tune fits perfectly and L'Internationale has been translated and adapted so many times it is really the only song that is representative of nearly every branch of Leftism (which is to say it isn't licking Stalin's boot or a super specific one made for a certain local movement)
Northflower also if you like Orwell I suggest reading his memoirs, Homage to Catalonia, it shows how he went from an idealistic young freedom fighter in the international Brigades to an anti Soviet Socialist because of how badly the Tankies back stabbed the CNT/FAI and Republicans in the war.
At the end of the war when the fascists were about to win the moderates and Marxist-Lenninists negotiated peace with Franco and the fascists (only to be Slaughtered after the war by his regime) while the Anarchist Communists and Syndicalists, even those volunteers from the US, Britain, Ireland, France, Germany and many other nations, fought to the last man only to be crushed by German panzers fueled by American oil as the Soviets pulled out their meager forces and claimed it to be the fault of the Anarchists
Thats still a major divide between authoritarian and libertarian Socialists today (as well as all the other BS like in Tiananmen Square, Hungary, and the DDR where they crushed peaceful protests by Socialist groups for being "enemies of the revolution"), because of that the only authoritarian and libertarian Socialists that get along are those that both oppose the Stalin's regime and the later liberalization of the USSR, or those who have a very lose grasp on history and theory and don't know about these rifts or their significance
Seeing as the most important factor for being in a left is a knowledge of history and plenty of historical analysis, that's basically limited to DeLeonists, Trotskyites, LeftComs (who basically just sit in their armchairs and study Marx nonstop), and anarchists plus a few outliers like Democratic Confederalists (like the SDF in Syria), and the Neozapatista movement in Chiapas Mexico (weird but cool mix of old land distribution politics, Marxism, Anarchist tendencies and practice, and lots of native Americans and Mexicans tired of having a corrupt and incompetent Neoliberal government that sends all the nation's wealth to the US)
Northflower I
ok I love animal farm (the movie and book) so much omg, plus we just started reading the book at school yesterday lmao
SmolToxin you have to love how they ignore the fact that Orwell was a Socialist and literally fought in the Spanish Civil War with the United Front in one of the International Brigades and his works show his loss of faith in Marxist-Lenninism
I've never actually watched this movie, or read the book, but the animation looks pretty good though! I might have to check it out lol Love all the political commentary behind the making of the film, really interesting stuff!
*writing out animated movie reviews for the month of April, sees this pop up in notifications*
Excuse me reviews, I will be back in thirty minutes. I've always wanted to hear what you two thought about Animal Farm, a movie I've always been curious in checking out, and I can safely say that this video helped. Great job as always 👍🏻👍🏻
THAT INTRO IS A GODSEND
Also I just read that book, can’t wait to watch your thoughts on the movie as I’ve never seen it myself
Do you plan on doing Watership Down and/or Plague Dogs in the future? I'd be interested to hear what you think of them. As sad as the movies are, I actually thoroughly enjoyed them both (I also like Richard Adams who was the author of the books they were adapted from, RIP Richard Adams).
Love the new opening animation!
I immediately thought Watership Down when you guy's referenced disturbing British films.
Living in Cuba, we obviously never got to read this book nor watch this movie, but I'm honestly happy with it despite it being propaganda. Communism is shit tm and I'm glad this movie helps put it in perspective for someone out there. Sad it was so micromanaged by the CIA tho rip in rip
euthanized Canine
Boi Orwell was a Communist, he even praises the Commune in Catalonia and the Spanish Anarchists he fought alongside in the Spanish Civil War, he never stopped supporting socialism but he was in the anti-soviet socialist camp with most decent Communists like Trotsky, Luxembourg, Durruti, and Guevara
when i read the book i knew it was an allegory of russian revolution . but if you know a bit of history from other part of the world you know it apply to any state born from revolution . like france took centuries to recover from the revolution with really similar result to what happened in russian.
Oh loved this movie when I was younger! Not sure why my mum let me watch it but its a great one, I'm ready to hear your opinions on this one. I even did the play in drama as some context to Stalin and communism.

"sit down Bolshevik, we'll show you how to make a revolution"
-Buenaventura Durruti in the Spanish Civil War during an interview by a Soviet journalist
Yeah all of Orwells work shows how betrayed he felt by the USSR and their abandonment of Socialist ideals as well as treatment of former comrades
As a huge fan of both animation and Orwell, I have been waiting for this episode since the beginning. The history behind this movie is really interesting, and I’m glad that you guys delved into it :D
One thing worth noting is that in the book, the farm actually IS portrayed as worse- they comment in the last chapter that the animals are fed the least and work the hardest out of every farm. However, here is the interesting thing- the other farms (which are directly supposed to represent the US and Germany) state that they want to implement some of Animal Farm’s tactics in their own farm. This felt like the case at the end of World War 2; before things went to hell, the US actually seemed to like communism. Orwell wrote the book as a warning to other countries to not give in to government propaganda if they try to push a particular agenda, because you will end up like Russia. He was trying to say that giving into fear is a bad thing. And by making this a propaganda film, the US is doing exactly what Orwell was trying to prevent.
After all, Americans, you don’t want communism to come back, right?
Hearing you mention other nutty British films is honestly just making me so hyped for when you guys cover Yellow Submarine I adore that film
Alright, so I literally started tearing up wheb you started talking about Boxer cuz I remember watching this movie as a kid and really liking him. I remember not understanding what the glue factory thing meant because uh... I didn't make the connection of horses and glue for a few more years, so that scene fucks me up even now-
I rewatched this earlier and was wondering why Snowball looks so menacing throughout the movie when he's meant to be "one of the good guys"... that makes a WHOLE lot more sense now.
I watched this movie as a child
How the hell did my mom think this was for kids
27:25 I get what you’re saying. As a kid, I didn’t even get what was really happening in _Toy Story_ other than what was plain-ass happening on screen, and that’s not even political!
Can't wait until you watch Watership Down and Felidae XD
Tennelle! :3 I saw a warriors commercial! :D it was on UA-cam as a video ad. I was surprised. Have you seen it?
Animal Farm was my favourite movie as a kid, and it still is today. In love it more then any other emotional movie, and I suggest it to anyone who hasn’t watched it.
Some interesting analyses of the movie as well as the book in general...No doubt this was not quite in line with what Orwell was trying to say...That said, there are still some valuable discussions to be had regarding the story, and I have to give the movie props for helping to expand these discussions...I personally have a lot of respect for the film!
Oh I remember watching this as a kid.
This is so good!! I love talking about/listening to cartoons on this kind of "how they made it and what the context is" sort of level!
The duckling in this film made me laugh a lot.
:O new sprites. They’re beautiful
There are a couple things you left out, one notable difference is Clover was the main protagonist alongside Boxer, not Benjamin. Another is that Snowball wasn't killed when he was ran out.
Animal farm is such a good book and I only got to watch only halfway through the movie when I was younger, it seems like almost everyone who read animal farm was in at least 6th grade, it such a good book tbh, and is still my favorite till this day.
I’ve waited so long to finally see you two review this!
God I love George Orwell’s novels. I’m a huge fan.
Are you kidding me? We just watched this in history class two days ago
They had a live-action remake, of course. I thought it was gross lol.
Ohhh my god there's the new intro! Love it so much AAAAAAAA. Time to settle in for this one!
Ahh this film broke me as a child, but it just gives you a real insight for what was going on in the world back then :(
You'll laugh and cry a little, at the antics of the animals on Animal Farm.

Holy crap, love the new artwork! My English class is reading this book in class right now, and I honestly liked reading it. Can't wait to hear what you guys say about it.
In the book its actually clover (the other horse) who sees the humans and pigs together and cant tell them apart. Benjamin spends most the book fully aware of what the pigs are doing, he’s just smart enough not to say anything.
I never watched this in school and when I was in high school we were forbidden to watch it but we did get a history lesson of the book and not the movie. It wasn't until college I finally looked up the plot of the movie and I can see why we weren't allowed to watch it.
I used to watch this with my dad when I was like 3 and 4 with my dad, it scared the shit out of me
O_o this was made into a movie?
(Haven't seen it and have only read books so RIP Boxer)
Edit: he is still called boxer
My 10th grade history teacher showed us this movie when we were talking about this era. It was interesting.
Love love love the new intro!!
I'm so glad you guys are tackling this film. I had no idea about all of the politics behind the making of the film, but its really interesting to be hearing this. Animal Farm is one of my favorite books, but I agree with it being taught at too young an age. I certainly never got any of the politics behind it when I read this in 7th and then 9th grade (doesn't help that we didn't really learn the politics side of things in an interesting way that stuck with us)
I'll never see a farm the same way again.
My parents used to let me watch this film when I was around 3,4 years old. I had no idea what it was about yet I was intrigued by it?
I'm in 10th grade and I haven't had to read Animal Farm yet
I loved Animal Farm, it's so good
I watched this video when it came out, but now that Ive actually read the book, Im rewatching it lol- its kind of wierd to see the old sprites
Ahhh the new intro is so good! ^~^
Oh, I read the book during the summer. I read it for 9th grade, and I've been working with the book for a month already in an advanced English class. I am actually understanding it more through assigments and class discussions. My class is working on an analysis essay.
Nice ❤
Excuse me, just an epic-gamer passing behind enemy lines.
omg I have not even officially left school yet and already I am getting flashbacks of my times in English class studying this film comparing it to the book at the same time as we look at Carol Ann Duffy poems... ugh I can feel the shivers crawling up my back just at the memory never again I swear
I’m going to read Animal Farm in English this year.
HOORAY
26:45 Here in Australia, Year 7 is considered high school. Make of that what you will.
ITS SO SMOOOOOOTH
Oooooh, I like the new opening animation :D Awesome job
Of which child age are we speaking? I watched it as a little kid(Probably kindergarden, because my mom thought it's a kid's movie) and I got nightmares. I still have a weird feeling about this film...
I love the book Animal Farm!
I read and watched this in 7th grade. Had to try my best not to burst into tears in class when Boxer was taken to his death
I most definitely didn't understand politics in 7th grade, I didn't even understand my own parents political views at the time and I was homeschooled! I can't believe kids are watching this that young, I've only gotten exposed to it now that I'm older and understand what it's saying. I was also a pretty sensitive kid and probably would have been scarred for life. Dark, heavy stuff doesn't effect me now like it did back then and even now it makes me feel super depressed.
oh nice new art!! The animation is smooth and made me do a double take with how good it was. I kinda wish some of the concept art stuff was larger--I really enjoy looking at concept art though so that might just be me.
Now for video--I have never ever heard of this book(or the movie). Like ever?? I don't know if it's because of who my teachers were but I think my schools growing up let the individual teachers have more control over what the taught as long as they filled the criteria: like books that students read or so on. Or they just don't care about anything that isn't STEM here, idek.
I have this movie because my parent bought it when i was like 8? I have no idea why they thought it was okay but I loved it.
Animal farm is so sad, I've seen it 3 times, and i cry every times
also in the book snowball isnt killed, hes chased off and no one really knows what happens to him
Hmm never seen this one, looks good
Oh god... just wait for Plague Dogs and Watership Down.
Ok. Be honest. We all read this is middle or high school.
And I’m going to guess you hated it.
As i watch animal farm i saw that there is actually three bulls black bulls in their close up scene shot
After that scene they will never seen again
I watched Animal Farm when I was like 3-5 years old, and read the book in 9th grade. Rip Boxer
The real question about Animal Farm is what happened to Snowball after he was chased off the farm?
They waited until high school for me.
Wait a minute the original book was narrated by a female horse named Clover why did she get cut?
I honestly never heard of this book until some years back on the internet! I guess because this isn't really relevant to the history in our country, it's interesting! I really learned a lot that I didn't know, this episode was very fun and kinda sad ahahha! You were right! I did laugh and cry a little!
And I used to think you guys had a Better school system?? Gosh I was wrong there is No good school system!
I LOVE THE BOOK OMG
The new intro is greeaat!
I love this film so much
Tennelle why would you insert the animal's screeching around the fire in the end 😂
Here in Australia, both my parents strongly oppose the Labor party, which is largely socialist, so… yeah, make of that what you will.
That opening tho
I just now noticed it but Boxer is on screen at the end of the movie with Benjamin was I the only one who noticed it?
you have a intro now yes
in the movie the dog dies and napoleon takes the puppies but in the book napoleon convinces the dogs that taking their puppies will be for the better and to educate them
Cool new opening
I beat its blocked in Russia, I remember Watching the movie and reading the book, in 11th grade. At the time I enjoyed the movie, and got the whole commie bad thing. But something my teacher didn't teach me was that the CIA was involved and I didn't catch all the underlining messages in this movie.
literally we just watched this in our literature class. (so many inside jokes....)
>Realizing the poster in the BG is the color of russia's flag during the cold war
i watched this one a lot as a youngin'
i watched this movie when i was five
i think i was to young but i did get a lot of what was going on but not the politics
I like to imagine the cute little duckling character growing up to be that exact same duck Napoleon ordered the execution of by attack dog along with the sheep and chickens...😈
