UK made-for-TV adaptation of Animal Farm was produced in 1999 and distributed in America in 2001 by Turner-Time-Warner, a modern-day department of the "Ministry of Truth".
It's hard to believe that anything could be as bad as the movie version of 1984 but the movie version of Animal Farm regrettably is. Opening scenes show Mr. Jones's wife [correction, it's Mr Jones] (non-existent in the book) upstairs in her [his] bedroom having sex with neighbouring farmer Mr. Pilkington's( wife)while drunken Mr. Jones [Picklington] is passed out downstairs.
The rest of the movie is equally warped and ridiculously mixes in high-tech surveillance themes from 1984. A phony mushy-gushy politically-correct ending turns a minor female character into a heroine who saves the day.After everything Orwell's second wife Sonia went through to retrieve ownership of his stolen copyrights and pass them on in her will to his son Richard, it's a travesty they allowed such a film to be made in Orwell's name. If Sonia were alive she would never have allowed such a misrepresentation, nor, of course, would Orwell. He called such productions "prolefeed". Jackie Jura
