Quite an unnerving piece of work, this animation of George Orwell's classic is pretty powerful.  If you held this up, visually, side-by-side with CHARLOTTE'S WEB, it would be hard to tell them apart.  However, this film is by no means a children's film.  With the story about farm animals rising up to take over the farm they are a part of, it is full of the "Power Corrupts" parable and is rather violent...and the communist allegory is certainly not lost.  Most of my enjoyment of this film came from the shock at how grown-up and no less Orwellian it was simply being animated.  You will be quite surprised too.
