!!1954 film
* ActingForTwo: In the animated version, ''all'' of the animals and Farmer Jones are voiced by [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor's old mentor, Azmael]], better known by his Earth name, Maurice Denham.
* ExecutiveMeddling: From the CIA, no less! The 1954 AnimatedAdaptation was secretly funded as anti-Communist propaganda. Orwell's strong implication that capitalism and communism wasn't that different was downplayed, Snowball (the Leon Trotsky expy) was made less heroic, and a happy ending where the animals rebelled against their pig oppressors was added on.
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Not the work itself, but a public domain DVD publisher called Digiview got [[CreatorKiller sued to death]] when it was discovered that they were making [=DVDs=] of the animated movie. Digiview assumed it was a public domain work when it was really still copyrighted.
