One of my earliest memories is of this version of the classic George Orwell story "Animal Farm". Originally released in 1964 or so, I watched it first from the standpoint of a little girl who loved animals. As I grew older, I revisited the story as someone who started learning the "ways of the world" and found these ways not always as they should be, and that these animals were not so different from people I had learned to know. I re-watched the DVD I recently purchased, and found the characters at once comfortingly familiar, and also somewhat unsettling. Of course, we know how the story concludes, but I still wish (in my little girl, affectionate way)that Boxer would not have been "taken to the knackers", and that Benjamin and Boxer and all the animals would have been able to live out their lives in peace and comfort, without man's insidious interference, but, of course , that was not to be. I find the effect of this story wonderfully timeless, as it has become something of a classic for a reason, and it's timelessness must BE that reason!! Than you, George Orwell, for putting up the mirror and having us see ourselves!!!!Read full review
I purchased this DVD to complement the novel by George Orwell. The product was delivered in mint condition in an expeditious manner. I chose the animated version over the remake because I was showing it to a group of students. Their assignment was to note how music, color, sound, setting, and the animation of the characters related to the mood and theme of the novel. They were then asked to include what they would change about the screen version. This version is rated G and has been approved for use. The students (all ability levels ) loved it!
This animated version is a good edition of this classic story. I wish the quality had been better. Thankfully, I didn't pay a whole lot.

The DVD was in great condition. I was disappointed in the quality of the animation and sound in this 2006 version. The story veered from the book significantly on several occasions.

I purchased this DVD for my sophomore English classes to watch after reading the novel. The students thoroughly enjoyed it, although it doesn't always follow the novel. For an animated film, we all enjoyed it. It was a nice surprise for me that the students were able to point out all of the differences from the DVD and the book. I will show this video every year. It's a movie that all would enjoy even if they didn't read the book.
