Critique of Animal Farm

The film overall did an ok job with outlining the video. Although the book had given more detailed information, the movie showed the main idea of the book. I personally think that the movie could have been better. Some events weren't in the correct order, and some character's whom are important to the story weren't present. Also, the cartoon doesn't make the issue seem that serious. I think it makes it more of a cute animal movie. Some parts of it gave more feeling than others, like when boxer had died, and the animals were weeping. I would prefer the movie to the book because it does summarize the story, but if I wanted a more detailed outline of the Russian Revolution, I would pick out the book.
Some parts in the movie were incorrect, or wasn't mentioned such as there being no presence Clover, and Mollie. Also, the movie had made it seem like a happy ending. The animals from many farms united, and defeated Napoleon. The book would had given it more serious issues about the Revolution, and the animals didn't unite together. Secondly, the van that Boxer was sent to in the book had slaughter house written on it, which gave it more emotion. The movie had left it out, so people whom haven't read the book wouldn't know where Boxer was headed to. Lastly, in the book when they first kicked out Jones, they had attacked them, But in the movie just scared him off. This didn't show how much anger the animals had, compared to the book. The movie leaves out the important details, and because of that, it doesn't give much of a serious attitude towards the Animals, and the Russian Revolution.
