| Animal Farm (1999) | comment |
The live-action adaption of the George Orwell satire of the same name. It follows the book's plot of the animals of Manor Farm rising up against humans, only to end up under a new tyrant. It promotes the dog Jessie to the main POV character and gives a new ending to the story. | |

| Animal Farm (1999) / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: This trailer may be more respectful to the film than the rest of the promotion, but it also spoils the corruption of the pigs by the end of the movie. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Animal Farm (1999) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: The film falls into this due to Adaptational Karma. The original book is principally about the problem of the Full-Circle Revolution, and how any authority that places itself above the workers while taking the lion's share of their efforts is wrong, whether they identify as capitalist or communist. Humans, in the world of the book, embody the exploitative ruling class, and any attempt by the animals to emulate humans is treated as a sign of placing themselves above their kin. The book ends with the pigs becoming no different from humans, bullying and killing the other animals to make their money. However, the film decides to instead end with the farm being bought by another family of humans after the pig's organization collapses, and this is treated as a happy ending, because the new family will obviously run it much better than the pigs. So it turns out that an exploitative ruling class is perfectly fine, after all; just so long as it's a friendly exploitative ruling class. Indeed, considering that the farmer in the book was a clear metaphor for the Russian monarchy, apparently the movie is saying that the Soviet Union could have been fixed just fine if they'd reinstated the Tsars. Given when it was made, this may have been altered to reflect the fall of the USSR and capitalist Russian Federation supplanting it (along with the other post-Soviet states), which was viewed favorably by most at the time (after Putin became effective dictator, many people's views soured). | |

Adaptational Alternate Ending | |
| Animal Farm (1999) / int_4a5fcde | comment |
Adaptational Alternate Ending: Some animals escape and wait for years for Napoleon's regime to collapse and decide to work together with the human family that moves in. The book ends with animals looking into the House and being unable to distinguish between pigs and humans. | |

| Animal Farm (1999) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The cover makes the movie seem like any other nice, kid-friendly movie about talking animals. The plot summary on the back even uses words like "delightful" and "charming" in its description... | |

Leitmotif upon Death | |
| Animal Farm (1999) / int_759005f4 | comment |
Leitmotif upon Death: Old Major sings the song "Beasts of the World," which came to him in a dream. When he is killed soon after, a sad, choral version of the song is heard as the animals look over his dead body. | |

Ascended Extra | |
| Animal Farm (1999) / int_a65288e2 | comment |
Ascended Extra: Jessie was a secondary character in the book. The movie promotes her to the main character and the Narrator. Mr. Pilkington was a minor character in the book. The movie makes him a man whom Farmer Jones is indebted to and a facilitator of trade between humans and the animal farm. | |

Adaptational Context Change | |
| Animal Farm (1999) / int_f33ff01c | comment |
Adaptational Context Change: In the book, animals see "four legs good, two legs better" written before looking into a house and being unable to distinguish pigs and humans. The movie changes it to only Jessie watching the meeting in the house, before she, Benjamin and Muriel see the writing and decide to escape. | |
