Film adaptations require money. The people that have money don’t like the point of Animal Farm.

I’m not positive but I am pretty sure the Junior Socialists have better things to do than make a symbologically-confusing movie about the evils of Stalinism.

There are certain messages that the rich never want the poor to see, but there is great utility in convincing the poor that they are, in fact, receiving that information.

This is kind of what happens when you take a book by a left wing author and use it as anti socialist propaganda

Animal farm is like 100 pages, it simply can’t work as a full length movie, there is no material for it. If you really wanted to adapt the story, the only way would be a 10 minutes short or animation.

Once again animal farm is a critique of what the USSR became and written by a democratic socialist author, the overall message of a warning against totalitarianism especially ones that came from the promise of a revolution but ending up as a new oppressor, but the message is broad enough that it can be applied to any other countries, situation, and ideology that suffered from totalitarian disease

The US 1954 film is hilarious. Instead of showing that Socialism naturally leads to an authoritarian Communist state that betrays the revolution and takes absolute power they change the ending so the animals overthrow the pigs but also keep the farm so it essentially ends with the socialist revolution animals succeeding in overthrowing Capitalism (humans) and Communism (pigs)
Such a weird choice considering it was being used in US schools as anti-red propaganda but i guess they were to stupid to realise what the “happy ending” meant.
