Animal Farm = CIA Propaganda

Here's a little tidbit I read on IMDB:

The CIA obtained the film rights to "Animal Farm" from Orwell's widow, Sonia, after his death and covertly funded the production as anti-Communist propaganda. Some sources assert that the ending of the story was altered by the CIA (in the book, the pigs and humans join forces) to press home their message, but it is equally possible that the more upbeat ending of the movie was an artistic decision, to give the film more audience appeal.

To learn more about how a how the CIA supposedly bastardized Orwell’s story through their psychological-warfare film adaptation, read the following article: Animated Propaganda During the Cold War: Part One.
