Brilliant movie, makes me want to read the book, 3 October 1999
8/10

I never got to read Animal Farm in high school. Now after seeing the TNT Original Movie adaption of George Orwell's novel, I can't wait. The story was ever so capturing of one's mind. The symbolism of Napolean and the others and all of the animals in a society of constantly changing rules was vastly intriguing. Curious about the book? Check out the movie. It was great.
