Animal Farm (the movie)

The Animal Farm movie was not the best movie, but it wasn't bad either. The voices of the characters made the movie a bit... weird. For example, Napoleon's voice was very strange and was somewhat creepy. I found it strange that Jessie was one of the main characters, whereas in the book she was only mentioned once or twice. The fact that Napoleon used a movie set in the movie, to show the deaths of animals and the announcements wasn't very effective. This movie mainly stuck to the main point, so I found it okay.

The movie Animal Farm, and the book itself were different. First of all, Jessie was never mentioned in the book except for in the beginning when George Orwell was introduced the characters to the readers. Also, in the beginning when Old Major was talking about being free and sang the song, the entire song was different. Instead of "Beasts of England", they sang something else.Something called, "Beasts of the World". The cat wasn't even mentioned in the movie. Also, after the revolution, there was a flag. In the book, there was no flag whatsoever. In the movie, there was a television used to entertain the animals. In the book, there was a mention of a television when they explored the farmhouse, but there wasn't any mention of it being used to entertain the animals. Also, when the traitors were killed in the movie, it was by hanging and it was shown on film. In the book, the dogs (chekka)killed the traitors right in front of the other animals' eyes. When things got bad in the movie, Jessie took some of the animals to a hide-out. There was definitely no mention of a hide-out in the book. Also,in the movie, we never found out what happened to Molly. The book ended with Mr. Pilkington and Napoleon playing cards. The movie, however, ended with Jessie going back to the farm with the animals and meeting her puppies again.
