* BrokenAesop: The film falls into this due to AdaptationalKarma. The original book is principally about the problem of the FullCircleRevolution, 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, [[HumansAreBastards 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 [[MeetTheNewBoss 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 [[UsefulNotes/TheNewRussia 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).
