Plot

The creatures outside look from pig to man and from man to pig and from pig to man again, but already it was impossible to say which was which. The first full length cartoon ever made in the UK was financed by the CIA and, except for the more up-beat ending, sticks faithfully to the plot. Based on Orwell's profoundly wrong view of the Soviet Revolution.
