Animal Farm is a 1954 British-American animated comedy-drama film produced and directed John Halas and Joy Batchelor, based on the book by George Orwell. It was the first British animated feature to receive a formal cinema release. The US CIA paid for the filming, part of the American cultural offensive during the Cold War, and influenced how Orwell's ideas were presented. The London animation firm who produced the film had previously made propaganda films for the British government.
