We wrap up our month-long look at animated films with the first animated feature produced by the British Film Industry, Animal Farm. Funded in part by the CIA , the anti-totalitarian messages from the George Orwell book at brought vividly, almost gruesomely, to life by the husband-wife animation team of Halas-Batchelor. Intended as propaganda cloaked as entertainment, how does this film stack up as a piece of work on its own merits? We aren't going to try to unpack all of the themes of the source material here, just evaluate the film on it's own merits. Have a listen, and hear what we though about this dark, intense, violent, and artistic film.
