About
Animal Farm was a made for TV film version of the 1945 George Orwell novel of the same name. The film tells the story of how the animals of a farm successfully revolt against its human owner, only to slide into a more brutal tyranny among themselves. It was released in 1999 by Hallmark Films to mixed reviews. It currently holds a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It was panned for loosely adapting the book and being too dark and political for children whilst being too familiar and simplistic for adults.
