Bah, I never liked reading Orwell. Dark, dreary, mostly boring with characters I did not realy care about as they were more just figures to illustrate some message.
The animated movie of Animal Farm was cute. After reading the book the message I got from it was a warning against a communist dictatorship. He may be all for a welfare state but definetly did not like dictatorships. I don't pay a lot of attention to a writers politics, it is much like celebrity politics and just anoys me when they try to mask a huge political message in a piece of prose. Some message and commentary is fine, but too much is just preaching to me... yawn.
Chicken Run was more fun
And I think Bribo is right on in his Choozoo classification!
