The film - or rather the mini-film, because it's just a little longer than one hour and has a narrator instead of real voice cast - is based on the novel of George Orwell and tells about animals on a farm, which fight for their independence of a cruel farmer. But the success leads them to something even worse. At the first sight You could think to watch a nice, cute Disney-movie, but the outcome is as unexpected as shocking: there are cruel scenes, including blood … mehrsometimes, and many allusions to also cruel history. It's especially communism the story is based on - a fact which gave the movie, among other things, the complaint to be a propaganda-material. It makes it ... kind of interesting, but also hard to watch for kids. Even some death-scenes, though they aren't shown directly, have a massive mentally impact cause of their dark tone: a Crow witnesses the violent deaths of the animals, and children who watch the movie ask "Mom, have they killed them?", and the mother helplessly answers "No, no, my dear, I'm sure they are fine! They ... just disappeared!". Moments like this make the movie hard to digest and for a younger audience a little bit to cruel in a subtle way. weniger
