When putting George Orwell’s, Animal Farm, and the film version side by side, you can note the similarities as well as the differences between the two. Coming close to being almost exactly like the book, the movie includes scenes from the book as well as many different approaches to the outcomes of actions.

Perhaps telling a story and adding some ‘spiff’, made Animal Farm more appealing to a larger crowd and could possibly the reason as to why the director made changes to the original
