Moving broken aesop to YMMV, especially due to the caveat complicating matters

* BrokenAesop: The 1999 film tries to account for Soviet collapse by changing the ending so that Napoleon's empire becomes unsustainable and collapses on itself. Fair enough, but then the film concludes with a smiling human family driving onto the farm as the sun comes back out and Jessie happily explains, "Now we have new owners!" Which pretty much negates the entire meaning of the allegory.
** Although she also says they won't let them make the same mistake, meaning if they start being tyrannical, they'll kick their butts.

* UnfortunateNames: Several of the pigs have one, with Squealer being the most notable example. There's also Minimus the poet, whose name means "a creature or being that is the smallest or least significant" and Pinkeye, the young pig tasked with tasting Napoleon's food in case it's poisoned, whose name is a synonym for conjunctivitis.

* FalseDichotomy: Whenever qualms are expressed about the pigs giving themselves more power and privileges, Squealer manipulates them into believing that the alternative is Mr. Jones coming back, which of course none of them want. Ironically, Napoleon's rule [[FullCircleRevolution eventually becomes pretty much indistinguishable from Jones']].

* FullCircleRevolution: The CentralTheme of the novel. Most of the pigs end up just as oppressive and greedy as the humans they drove out. The pigs use propaganda, lies, and deceit to get their way. The rest of the animals end up even worse off than before, the name of the farm is changed back to what it was before the revolution, and they can no longer tell apart the pigs and the humans.

* GoodIsDumb: {{Deconstructed|trope}}. At least when compared to the pigs, the rest of the animals are rather simple-minded and easy for the pigs to manipulate as they rarely question the pigs' authority. Even at times when they even consider the farm's state to have become ''worse'' than when Jones was in charge, they don't consider to have a change of authority and instead only make up excuses for the pigs' ruthlessness which allows them to continue their dictatorship with nobody to stop them.
