The animals in the farmyard decide that working for humans is doing them no favours ,so under the leadership of Napoleon, the only Berkshire Boar on the farm, and the other pigs, they drive out the farmer and his cohorts and set about structuring their own society. Based on a list of supposedly animal-friendly rules such as “four legs good, two legs bad” the animals work together to harvest their own food and run their own farm. However, little by little, the rules begin to mysteriously change.

On a quiet farm, the animals rise up against their human masters, dreaming of a world where all are equal. Inspired by the ideals of freedom and justice, they overthrow their oppressive rulers. However, what begins as a hopeful revolution quickly spirals into a grim tale of power, corruption, and betrayal. George Orwell’s Animal Farm is a masterful allegory that explores the complexities of revolution and the inevitable corruption that follows.

Under ledning av grisarna håller de utarbetade och förtryckta djuren på en bondgård hemliga möten där de beslutar sig för att göra uppror mot ägaren av gården. Djuren genomför revolutionen och bonden mr Jones drivs bort. De grundar en ny filosofi som de kallar animalismen och sjunger sin egen kampsång. Bondgården döps om till Djurens gård och djuren föreställer sig att detta är början på ett liv i frihet och jämlikhet. Men gradvis införs en slug och hänsynslös elit som styrs av den intellektuellt överlägsna grisen Napoleon.
