If you have read Animal Farm and are a fan of Orwells work, DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. It will annoy you, tick you off, and make you feel like you've wasted an hour and a half of your life. If I could give it ZERO stars, I would. It was a good half hour into the movie before anything was even a little accurate. It was as if they took a few bits from the actual book and just threw them in so they could say it was based on the book. It should have said in the credits "Very very very loosely based on Animal Farm by George Orwell" In fact, they never should have even given Orwell credit as inspiration for this at all, because it would embarrass him to have anything to do with this atrocity of a movie. This is one more movie to remind me that I should never see Hollywoods version of ANY book.
