Animal Farm Page #3

Synopsis: Britain's second animated feature, which, despite the title and Disney-esque animal animation, 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...

was just the sort

to do something about it.

Comrades, our leader,

as wise as he is beloved,

has decided to trade

with the outside world.

Not for gain of course, that would

be unworthy of our noble principles.

You hens,

are to have the honor of

making the first contribution:

all your eggs.

I know how proud you are

of this privilege.

The chickens

seemed to remember

Old Major saying

that their eggs should

never be taken from them.

The innocent suffered with the guilty

and the chicken's uprising

was short lived.

Comrades,

I have made

a terrible discovery.

There are

traitors among us.

Yes comrades,

in league with

Jones and Snowball

to destroy Animal Farm.

Who else is guilty?

Stand up and confess!

NO ANIMAL SHALL KILL

ANOTHER ANIMAL:

WITHOUT CAUSE:

The revolution is now complete.

We have no more use

for that song.

See it is now forbidden

under penalty of death.

Trade between Animal Farm

and the outer world

now became quite brisk.

As might be expected,

Mr. Whymper's profits

inspired others

to seek their share.

Or at least

give vent

to their jealousy.

-Animal Farm seems

to be making money

for Whymper.

-Who ever heard of

animals running a farm.

-Have you seen their windmill?

-Come on and

let's kick 'em out.

-Yes, kick 'em out.

The original owner

was not invited

to join this movement.

His neighbours

let him know

his day was done.

Comrades,

the enemy has mobilised

all his forces against us.

We must save Animal Farm

from its enemies

at all costs we have.

Now is the time to fight,

to die for Animal Farm...

Victory!

Now began the

heartbreaking job

of rebuilding.

And as before,

Boxer and Benjamin

worked hardest of all.

By now, supervision

of the work by pigs

was hardly necessary,

so they had time

for less laborious

pursuits.

Long after

the other animals

left the job,

Boxer and Benjamin

worked on and on,

giving their all

year in, year out.

A new generation of pigs

grew up,

endowed with what was

considered odds and graces

very flattering to Animal Farm

and it's presiding genius.

But still

the windmill

was not finished

and Boxer's injured foot

got worse instead of better.

It looked as though

Boxer were dead

but he wasn't, not quite.

Boxer is hurt badly,

he will never work again.

What do we do?

While Napoleon and Squealer

made plans for Boxer,

Benjamin predicted

he could look forward

to a well earned rest and retirement.

Next day

the windmill work

went on as usual,

but now without Boxer.

And during the morning,

what appeared to be

an ambulance arrived.

Only Benjamin suspected

it wasn't an ambulance.

The other animals

finally recognised

the death wagon

George Orwell

Eric Arthur Blair (25 June 1903 – 21 January 1950), better known by his pen name George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic whose work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism and outspoken support of democratic socialism.Orwell wrote literary criticism, poetry, fiction and polemical journalism. He is best known for the allegorical novella Animal Farm (1945) and the dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). His non-fiction works, including The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), documenting his experience of working class life in the north of England; and Homage to Catalonia (1938), an account of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, are widely acclaimed as are his essays on politics, literature, language and culture. In 2008, The Times ranked him second on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Orwell's work continues to influence popular and political culture and the term "Orwellian"—descriptive of totalitarian or authoritarian social practices—has entered the language together with many of his neologisms, including "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "Room 101", "memory hole", "newspeak", "doublethink", "proles", "unperson" and "thoughtcrime". more…
