Animal Farm is a British animated film by Halas and Batchelor, based on the book of the same name by George Orwell,that was published in England on August 17, 1945, and written during World War II. It was the first British animated feature released worldwide. Despite the title and Disney-esque animal animation, it is in fact a no-holds-barred adaptation of George Orwell's classic satire on Stalinism, with the animals taking over their farm by means of a revolutionary coup, but then discovering that although all animals are supposed to be equal, some are more equal than others.
