- TriviaMany parents were alarmed at the bleakness of the film, having taken their children thinking it was a film along the lines of a Walt Disney cartoon.
- GoofsWhen Old Jones grabs the dynamite out of the box, he has three sticks in each hand, but when he puts his hands together a seventh stick appears from nowhere. Then, when he lights the fuse, there are twelve sticks in the pile.
- Quotes
[The laws of Animal Farm are being read]
Snowball: No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall sleep in a bed. Four legs good, two legs bad.
[The chickens are very annoyed at this rule]
Squealer: Wings count as legs.
[The chickens realize that Squealer is right]
Group of sheep: Four legs good, two legs bad. Four legs good, two legs bad.
Snowball: [continuing the reading of the laws] No animal shall kill another animal. All animals are equal.
- Alternate versionsIn the Extended Edition (in the USA coming in October 2024), the only scene (after Squealer says "Long live Napoleon!" two times) shows all the animals and new animals cheering (cows, sheep, horses, pink pigs, llamas, chickens, peacocks, and goats) for Squealer before Benjamin runs away from Squealer and the barking dogs.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Pieces of Silver (1989)
Dealing with dictatorship, communist theory, military warlords, the democratic process and political theories, Animal Farm throws so much at the viewer / reader that it is still a highly acclaimed story. Whether it is suitable for a young audience, that is up to the individual viewer to decide.
