Hope you are all enjoying some sunshine wherever you are! Here’s a clip from the archives (from a ‘Nicotex’ ad of all places!), which has us full of the joys of #Spring!

Halfway through January - how many of your #newyearsresolutions are still hanging on in there? Were you up with the lark this morning?

Happy 2025, Bluesky!

This is a very special year, as we celebrate 70 years since the iconic 'Animal Farm' feature premiered. We're looking forward to starting the celebrations off next week at BFI - and look out for further details about our celebrations throughout the year on our social media!

Despite being nearly 70 years old, Animal Farm remains a powerful piece of animation, still relevant to conversations about power, equality, and revolution. How do you think the film holds up today?

🎤 “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
This famous quote from Animal Farm speaks to Orwell’s critique of political power. What do you think Orwell would make of today’s political landscape?

Animal Farm was an ambitious project, bringing Orwell’s dystopian vision to life with innovative animation techniques: a turning point in British animation. It was produced by Halas & Batchelor in 1954-55 🌍🎥
