Manchester Animation Festival

Celebrating 70 years since Halas and Batchelor released the UK's first commercial animated feature film Animal Farm. Inspired by the dream of Old Major, a prize boar, the overworked animals of Manor Farm rise up against their negligent, drunken owner and drive him out. Led by two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, they establish their own self-sufficient farm, but as the farm flourishes it begins to slide into dictatorship.
