Fans of the Orwell novel will be greatly disappointed. I saw this film at my local library and I thought "what the hell, i'm not paying for it". I watched it, and knew within five minutes that I hated it! However, I gave it a fair chance. And, in fact, it came really close to redeeming itself, and then it screwed that up too.
Near the end, Napolean and Squealer start making propaganda films, and they make one that sums up the end of the novel well, with a great shot of Napolean standing and wearing a suit. They then go on and have a storm destroy Napolean and the farm, which is entirely contrary to the point of the novel. All in All, Stay Away.
