I remember reading Animal Farm and not getting it at all. I remember thinking the book was kinda dumb. I probably would have thought that given the right contenxt, just for new reasons though lol.

I had to read it at about 13 in English, and I got it was about communism and the pigs were lenin and stalin but I only had really vague knowledge of the soviet union, so I thought the ending was about the dissolution of the ussr

We definitely watched the 1999 live action Animal Farm, I honestly remember very little about the whole book/movie.

Edit: Aw fuck I forgot that Jim Henson's Creature Shop worked on that movie.
