Animal Farm Doublepost

So after finally finishing the animal farm cartoon film form 1954, I was quite surprised that I was not bored to death nor not interested wile watching the film. This surprises me greatly because of the fact that I expect a film form that era to be black and white, very boring, and animated at the same level as what random amateur computer class student’s cartoon animation project. I found it quite surprising at the different angles, the colors, and its overall skillfulness of the film. I find it very close to the same level of cartoons today. The film is also very close to the story, with most of the events and settings set accurately. It is not like those Percy Jackson or harry potter films, where the director cuts like eighty percent of the content. There are some differences, however, in the book Benjamin does not really work and is old and tired, while in the film Benjamin is Boxer’s loyal friend and is very hardworking. The most distinctive differences, however is the ending. In the end the enemy started another revolution and overthrew the pigs. I find I like the cartoon’s ending better and is happy that the pigs got what they deserved.
