The book was made into an animated cartoon in 1954. There are a few differences between this film and the book, namely Old Major dying sooner than expected and Snowball actually being killed by Napoleon's dogs. The biggest difference is the ending: Benjamin the donkey rallies the animals together to stage a second rebellion, this time against Napoleon and the pigs.

The book's idea of a false utopia was bitingly portrayed in "[[Toy Story 3]]", with a [[day care center]] substituting for the farm setting. "This isn't a family," one toy shouts. "It's a prison!" <ref>[https://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-klavan-toy-story-3-20101102,0,6568516.story]</ref>
