" Notes: I’m pretty sure I did watch this animated feature when I was a kid, probably even at school. I was quite impressed back in those days and I thought it was time for a re-watch. Personally, I always had a weak spot with animated features trying to be aimed towards a grown-up audience. Indeed, the market is dominated by the kiddies stuff, which is fine, but the tone is rather monotonous. It was also one of the major weaknesses in this flick, the way they still added some little fluffy b"

Toivottavasti minä olen joskus Vanha Majuri."

"29.5 George Orwellin alkuperäisromaani on ajaton poliittinen satiiri. Tämä animaatiofilmatisointi omaa lähtökohtaisesti hyvät asetelmat, mutta Disneyn sensuurin alla on kaunisteltu tiettyjä asioita, jotta länsi näyttäisi pakostakin paremmalta. Suurimmalti osin tässä ollaan kiitettävän uskollisia alkuperäisteokselle, mutta aika ajoin astutaan propagandan puolelle, jota esimerkiksi väkinäisen mieltänostattava lopetus alleviivaa rankalla kädellä. Animaatiojäljeltään varsin r"
