Inspired by a long-forgotten ballad, two young pigs decide to exact vengeance on their corrupt human rulers. They lead the other farm animals in an epic battle as they oust the farmer and his family, seizing control over the farm. They declare that there will be no more meaningless labour, and that all animals are created equal. However, their “government” soon begins to fall apart as they begin displaying their mistrust for one another. In their attempts to be different from their human masters, they begin to slowly follow their edicts, and slowly their ideals shift. In Animal Farm, there is only one thing that you must remember. All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
