The action of this animated movie starts when the oldest pig- Old Major, calls all animals to a secret meeting. He tells them about his dream of a revolution against the cruel Mr Jones. During the meeting Major dies, but his speech gives the “more intelligent” animals a new outlook on life. The pigs, which are considered the most intelligent animals, instruct the other ones. During the period of preparation for the big revolution, two pigs can represent themselves; they are Napoleon and Snowball. Napoleon is big, but not a good speaker. Snowball knows how to represent himself, he is clever and he has a lot of brilliant ideas. The rebellion starts when one night Mr Jones comes home drunk and forgets to feed the animals. They break out of the barns and run to the warehouse, where the food is stored. When Mr Jones recognises this, he takes out his gun, but it’s too late, all the animals fall over him and drive him off the farm. The animals destroy all tools that have been used to suppress them. On the same day the animals celebrate their victory with an extra ration of food. The pigs made up the seven commandments, and they wrote them above the door of the big barn:
1.: Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
2.: Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings is a friend.
3.: No animal shall wear clothes.
4.: No animal shall sleep in a bed.
5.: No animal shall drink alcohol.
6.: No animal shall kill another animal.
7.: All animals are equal.
The animals also agree that no animal shall ever enter the farmhouse, and that no animal shall have contact with humans. These commandments are summarised in the simple phrase: "Four legs good, two legs bad".
